If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I think they're actually just bad at their jobs.

Because books.

But now? They did a decent job there for awhile. It's hard to believe the guys who gave us so many juicy twists and great characterization thought THIS was a bangup way to end the season. Series. Whatever.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

I liked the Cleganebowl. Everything else was a big heap of WTF.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

This episode was a mess.

Yes, this.

No more source material to outline things for them.

All I care about at this point is Arya surviving. I mean, she won't, she'll probably go out when she tries to kill Dany and the dragon, but I want my murderbaby to live.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

It occurs to me that when we named this thread, the cursing was IN the shows, not AT the shows.

What is even happening?

Yes. I'm fully team Tickybox.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

The only parts of that I enjoyed were the Mountain casually killing Qyburn, Jamie and Cersei coming upon the tunnel full of rubble, and bits of Clegane Bowl.

Bah.

Being better lit really didn't help.

What I want from the final episode, and I know I won't get:

- Arya killing the last dragon and preferably surviving the fight.

- Dany attacks Jon because of Arya's kill, Jon and Dany end up both dead.

- Tyrion sitting on the remains of the Iron Throne, drinking himself to death.

- Sansa looking out over Winterfell recovering from the battle, and sees Arya walk back through the gate.

None of this will happen. I know this.
