Saw an interview with them last week. They said they'll be off in an undisclosed location drinking wine with their wives during the finale, completely out of reach.

Now we know why.

That one seems fake-y to me, particularly who's on the small council. I read another one that seems more likely. Still awful, either way.

Oh it's gonna be fun to watch for sure.

More fun if I wasn't such a big fan of the books and the first 4 seasons of the show...

Maybe the writers are purposely letting us down knowing this is the last season by making it suck.

It's more of how we're getting there.

I can’t pinpoint why exactly but that episode was terrible. The dragon ambush (they didn’t think they would be ambushed going south?), bronn scene, tormund doesn’t get the girl, the gossiping, Jon doesn’t seem like the leader he was, there’s still no plan to get Cersei etc.

Pretty hilarious how perverted Jack Sparrow just keeps pwning Daenerys.

Also, shouldn't he figure out something is off? How does Tyrion know about the baby that's supposedly his?

At least Tormund survived through the series.

I am sure they had a royal announcement.

Now that you wrote that, there's gonna be a scene where he trips over a tree branch and impales himself on his ale horn.

Oh, and what the ****ing **** was Jon doing leaving Ghost with him?

That one was production saying 'yeah, we can't afford any more wolf this season'.

I think they're all kind of staying true to their natures.

Daenerys - I. WANT. IRON. THRONE. Rinse. Repeat.

Tyrion's Achilles heel is his endless quest to bring out the good in his twisted ass evil sister despite a lifetime of abuse. If Qyburn hadn't been out there with him she'd have had her archers turn him into a stupid little pin cushion.

Jamie - hopelessly caught in Cersei's web.

Sansa has basically become a non-evil version of Littlefinger.

Arya just wants to be her nasty little assassin-in-the-name-of-good self.

Jon - great and noble warrior who is too dumb to effectively manage a gas station, with such a hard on for the truth that he'd get burned to a crisp if Dany asked him if her fur cloak made her ass look too fat.
