No one can ride out to lift the seige because they would be facing dothraki+dragon in an open field. Either that or drogon can pick up rocks and drop them on the red keep from a mile above it (out of ballista range).

Or simply use the dragon to destroy the fleet then fly to red keep and kill cersei ?
end of story gg
victory

Goilden Company wont continue to fight for someone who cant pay them when dead

For those of you that know the books well here is something INSANELY GOOD:

The valonqar prophecy has unfolded:

Cersei: Will the king and I have children?
Maggy: Oh, aye. Six-and-ten for him, and three for you. Gold shall be their crowns and gold their shrouds, she said. And when your tears have drowned you, the valonqar shall wrap his hands about your pale white throat and choke the life from you.[1]

—Maggy in the dream of Cersei Lannister

This question and answer only context is the children of Cersei, nothing lelse. So Valonqar was in the terms of Joffrey, Mirtsela and Thomen. Cersei's unborn child is a valonqar to them. Cersei being pregnant means she knew the death is coming.

OMG GRRM this is so beautiful i was stunned when i realized it.

-So Jamie rides into the enemy side to help fight the walkers then goes back to cersei afterwards? just a waste of time. he didnt do shit vs the walkers.
-The hound wants revenge vs the mountain and decides to take him on 1v1 with no plan other than to sacrifice himself at the very least. All this time to develop his character over 8 seasons as a somewhat educated person, he just goes psychopath/brute mode at the end with the rest of the show. and lol as cersei just walks right past by him.
-Danerys just does a 180 after the bells ring and decides to plot twist us all by becoming the most evil out of everyone aftering preaching about saving the innocent all this time. I guess her ego and pride/reputation is more important? god i hate people.
-And then the bald dude getting executed just like that out of no where. what a dumb way to die. so much life lost over meaningless stuff. I guess tywin just wanted that guy to die? so he just rats one of his friends out like that because... its his duty to the queen? and then does shit that can get him executed with his brother just like that.. haha
- the battle at the end with jamie and euron... Jamie: i gotta go save the queen! euron: no you dont bitch. Everything is going to shit right now, so lets fight to the death even i barely just met you and lets make it epic! dies smiling at end. woot another crazy guy.

i hate when people die for a stupid reason or just out of no where or when people die for acts of dumbness. WARRRRRR so barbaric. DIE DIE DIE. I have power, i end you!! muahahahah!

the combo of whining/genius writers here is amazing!

Bran - 3 eyed raven has orchestrated everything.

We will get details on the "meaningless" plots in the last episode i hope.

If not fuck you DnD

It seemed like Tyrion was prepared to tell her something different when he walked in, but her saying "someone has betrayed me" threw him off guard and he had no time to prepare another response. My guess is that were he given time, he would have told Varys to run and then told Dany, but maybe he intended on snitching all along. Either way, he certainly felt very guilty about having his second best friend and one of the two people who helped him escape after the purple wedding killed, so aiding Jamie's escape was a logical followup.

Varys getting executed was one of the few things that made perfect sense and was well written imo, unfortunately it wasn't as impactful as I would've wanted it to be, but thats not surprising considering Varys has become a 4th-hand character in the show, even thought he s one of the most interesting characters

agreed, Varys death is one of the few good things in these episodes, I would have liked it to be a tiny bit more visual, I dont know why they keep doing these offscreen deaths, it doesnt have to be gory, like Ned Starsk execution you see the sword going through his head for a second.

ahhm if you are talking about the scene i agree it was good but... Varys is a master of whispers, served 6 kings aaaaaaaand he did not see this coming ? sounds a lot like the way they spend littlefinger... as a complete newbie in the game.

Strongly disagree, Varys did see it coming, he talked with the kitchen girl about it being high risk, he took off his rings when he heard the steps coming to his room, so he knew it was a big risk.

You are confusing Varys with Pycelle, Pycelle acts like a decrepit old man much weaker than he really is only to survive, (if you dont know what Im talking about watch the deleted scenes, or pay attention when he has a hooker in his room), Varys on the other hand truly wants the good of the real and takes calculated risks, he tried to help Ned Stark, and he took a massive risk by freeing Tyrion and had to flee the city where he worked so long to grow his influence.

So Varys isn't a coward like Pycelle nor a cynic like Baelish.

Varys also likely knew it would end in his death, given Melisandre told him he would die in Westeros before she left Dragonstone in season 7.

Varys was wasted, it was bad writing - he did confront Jon openly about his claim on the throne lol... on the beach with people around and Tyrion watching. Master of Whispers u say...

true... a a good'ol "walk with me" garden of the redkeep scene would have been better than speaking right next to the sailors, not that its super important.

I just rewatched S01E01. My god was there a difference

Episode 8 was okay. I didn't expect much since there were no more battles left to fight.

The only thing I wanted to see is Bran warg into the dragon like he alluded to while in the council meeting, that way we could see where he went.

Have some nitpicks though I don’t wish to share at this time since the ending was overall pretty decent. Daenerys actually makes an excellent villain, just wish there was more time to let that plot line sink in.

Thought it was a good ending, and similar to one i had been expecting for some time. reading all the 1/10 reviews on imdb...some of these fans are sick in the head, so dam emotionally invested, the writers don't owe them anything and no one should have expected good writing once the book material ran out. Imo the best possible choice for king was the person who got it. Remember 'love is the death of duty', bran has become someone that can see above personal desire's, he is one man in ten thousand, as aemon would have said, and has a broad perspective on the world that may be suitible for global justice, under the constraints of injustice that is produced from dictatorship. It looks like they actually gave up monarchy as a system; and decided on a sort of aristocratic oligarchy instead, which is an improvement. The epilogue could have had a seriously bigger amount of detail-lots of things unanswered, but wasn't expecting that since everything has been rushed the last two seasons, (and no new charachters were even invented).

I thought he meant he was going to find it with ravens, as he has been using them to map hack the last two seasons.

That would've been fine. I just felt like they could've shown the dragon somehow, whether it was with ravens or some other living creature.

Only big nitpick I have is the likelihood Jon survives, I think Greyworm and the Unsullied just instantly waste him after they find out what he did to Dany. I think the rest of it is a reasonable conclusion to the story, and probably what GRRM had in mind to wrap it up.
