It's not their fault that, over the course of the show, the character would become Game of Thrones final villain. Remember all of those people who named their kids Khaleesi? Don't sneer, because - at the time - she was a strong, powerful female role model. And that's disappointing.Īnd for the love of the gods, remember to edit out the damn coffee cups and water bottles when you do Star Wars. Instead, we're left with a botched rush job that barely seems connected to the rest of the show. All of these things we probably would've been satisfied with at the show's end had Benioff and Weiss just showed us how they got there. Yes, there's a king that may not turn into a tyrant. Don't get me started on the name "Bran the Broken," either. And now his primary concern, as king, is finding a dragon. For someone to essential to the plot of the show throughout, including the ultimate battle with the Night King, Bran's participation in the last few episodes was shockingly limited. It saw fit to install him as king, but didn't think we needed to know more about his role as the Three-Eyed Raven, the extent of his skills, or what he plans to do with those things as king.

Tyrion is clearly facing them first, and we only find out through his speech that he and Jon have been locked up for a while. We cut from Jon killing Dany to a council of lords and ladies that's. It was bad during the entire final season, and the finale just made it worse. Then we hit season eight, and all of that, arguably what made the show so good, went out the damn window.
