She needed a whole full season for this arc, not a shortened one that had to be shared with the White Walker stuff. I also don't believe that Jon would be so stupid as to need convincing from Tyrion to do the deed after the last episode, he should be willing to do it as soon as he's able to confront her (no matter how much it pains him), but then Jon has been a useless stupid sad sack for this entire season, so I guess I was hoping too much. Really hope the books we will never see execute this whole arc better or avoid it entirely.
That council scene was unbelievably terrible. "Who has a better story than Bran Stark?", the answer is "f***ing everyone else, Tyrion."
"F*** democracy, lol!"
Sansa grabbing Northern independence and everyone else there, especially Yara, just being cool with it was hilariously stupid. The flawed system was back in place and another war will probably break out next week, lol maybe Dany was right.
Grey Worm and Drogon sparing Jon for no reason was dumb and contradicts their behavior in this very episode.
The Dothraki all died at Winterfell but oh wait, no they didn't, and then they just left and everything's fine.
"I know a killer when I see one."- thanks Arya, what other stunningly obvious observation do you have for us? Although this IS season 8 Jon she's talking to, so...
I also love how HBO had all the ads for their other shows, as if they were begging us not to cancel our subscriptions.
That imagery was pretty neat, and wasted in this otherwise bad episode.
