I don’t think that was supposed to be snow. It was ash from all the dragon fire.
I don’t know, I guess the ending was, ok? I’m mostly just glad it’s over. Hopefully the spin offs aren’t trash but I’m not going to watch, unless the first couple of seasons are great
I want to know what exactly is the political status of the Wall and the Night's watch now given that they're physically separated from the rest of Westeros by an independent North. Is it part of the North, Westeros or it's own statelet?
A disappointing, underwhelming, mostly boring series finale and overall weak ending to what was once a great show.
That all said, I got my wish. About a month ago, I wrote:

There are TONS of women in this world who are huge fans of Aunt Dragon Bitch and are very emotionally attached to her. In their minds, she's this noble girl power chick that gets to fuck Aquaman, boss countless amounts of men around, has super powers by virtue of just who she is (in true Mary Sue fashion), and has been on a "long and difficult journey" (sacrificing tons of men along the way) to get what is rightfully hers (i.e. more power to boss even more men around). All along the way, she thinks she's very nice and fair towards people but she is generally just a selfish cunt.
In short, Aunt Dragon Bitch is a modern day feminist. An entitled twat who has earned nothing, treats people like shit, and expects everyone else to kiss her ass. Of course, plenty of women in real life identify with her because they basically ARE her in many respects.
Aunt Dragon Bitch being exposed for what she really is will be like dividing by zero for millions of twats across the world. It will be post election day November 2016 all over again.
Since Dumb&Dumber like best no dialogue and facial emotions, then they got that.
The scenes were pretty and moody enough, but obviously the ending was .... disappointing as Kit Harrington has already said.
The rightful king got sent to the Wall - and the Unsullied left Westeros anyway, so there wasn't much reason for that, but hey.
Personally I would have chosen to ride that crazy bitch and conquer the world - make Jon/Aegon Targaeryan go dark and start the real conquest of the world. It would have been certainly more interesting than this and would have given HBO a way to continue sequels in the future.
Guess Emilia Clarke was right. Dany got evil for one episode and that is it.
And obviously they have their SJW-fiction in the end at least a bit.
Arya becomes Assassins Creed Arya Columbus.
Sansa becomes the glorious strong independent woman queen.
They have finally the female diversity hire in the High council.
Bronn is back and gets promoted to Master of Coin, builder of brothels.
And Bran the Broken hints to warging the dragon - yeah - no hurry Bran, could have been useful before, but whatever.
And Dumb&Dumber can destroy another franchise and follow in the footsteps of Rian Johnson.

After the first of the trilogy flops, then they are done. Rian Johnson may have a contract for a trilogy, but it's cheaper for Disney to pay him out than give him movies to ruin.
They have a contract for the trilogy, but that is no guarantee that they will be allowed to film all 3.
Quote:Remake Game of Thrones Season 8 with competent writers.
David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have proven themselves to be woefully incompetent writers when they have no source material (i.e. the books) to fall back on.
This series deserves a final season that makes sense.
After watching the series finale, I have a theory as to what message (((the directors))) are telling us as a parallel as to how the events could unfold in Europe:
Dragon Bitch (Western European women and (((usual suspects)))) rides the dragon (representing China) and leads the Unsullied and Dothraki (representing the migrants from the Middle East and Sub-Sahara Africa) to conquer Kings Landing and kill the inhabitants (equivalent to the current Western European inhabitants and leaders)
Dragon Bitch and army obliterate Kings Landing (and the old European order)
Jon Snow, King of the North (Mother Russia and/or Eastern Europe), originally allying with the Dragon Bitch, realizes that Dragon Bitch has gone too far and takes her out with a dagger (could represent the eventual backstabbing Russia does to (((them))))
The Dragon is pissed, burns the throne and leaves (represents China no longer wanting in on the destruction of Western Europe)
Jon Snow is held prisoner by the Unsullied and Dothraki leader(s) because the leader wants justice
The council (representing citizens of nations throughout the world, including US citizens) decides who will be the new leader of Western Europe
Tyrion represents the United States
Bran represents the new Western European Leadership
Bronn represents the Evangelicals
The council chooses Bran as the new leader of Westeros (Western Europe) and Bran exiles Jon Snow back to the Wall (back to the Russian lands).
Jon Snow (Mother Russia) accepts because he feels happy being there in the first place and has no wish to rule Westeros.
Tyrion is guiding Bran (the new Western Europe leader and this time with a new approach to things)
The Unsullied and Dothraki go back to where they come from because in the end, what they want to really do is to free their people from slavery.
Bronn gets his pound of flesh (could represent the Evangelicals getting solid representation in Western Europe in addition to that of the United States).
Sansa's purpose is moot because there will always be a Stark in the North (Slavic rule in Eastern Europe)

As of now, it's at 1,138,668 signatures! You read that right. There are multiple MSM articles talking about the petition.
Dumb and Dumber's career might not be so safe after all. We shall see.
Even if 10 million people signed, what does it matter? It would take a long time (I'm assuming) to refilm this season, a lot of money, and would require all the actors to agree. What incentive do they really have? What happens if they don't?

You gotta be kidding me. WTF
No, no. D&D have no involvement with the prequels. They have a contract for three Star Wars films. The Game of Thrones prequels are all being done up by stronk wimminz producers. The one most advanced is supposedly is set at the end of the Age of Heroes, i.e. around the time the Wall was built. Naomi Watts is attached to it, so, don't say you haven't been warned.

Queen Sansa's election campaign slogan: "They're not sending their best."
It probably remains its own statelet, but they'll likely have to sail shiploads of condemned prisoners around to Eastwatch rather than cart them overland like they used to.
