The dragon could be flying her back to one of red witches to get resurrected, too. Targaryans can get over that stabbed through the heart thing. And hell, she was only stabbed once.

Can't imagine she'd be too happy after being awakened, either.

Incorrect. Jon stabbed her at least 1 time before that.

I appreciate the show ending as good comedy.

I dunno, saying Orange Man Bad over and over wouldn't make as much sense in that storyline.

And he's shown no ability to inspire either loyalty or fear, which are the two things (one or the other or both) that a leader in that setting must have.

But yeah, on balance...ok. The entire kingdom is very much off-balance, and nobody else has much in the way of armies loyal to them either.

But seriously -- does anyone think Bronn ISN'T making a play for the throne within five years?

Overall, I'm okay with it. I don't hate it, but I don't love it either.

Like you said, nobody has much of an Army left. Bran still would have support from the North, but his big weapon is the ability to know the future/if someone is scheming against him.

Also, Bronn wants nothing to do with being King. He wants enough money to do whatever he wants with little to no daily responsibilities.

Ghost will always be the goodest of boys.

Finale was solid but I still struggle with Dany being turned into Hitler in the second to last episode.

If you didn't see her heel turn coming then you weren't paying attention.

Who is excited for the D&D Star Wars trilogy after that fantastic ending?

For the story's faults, it at least set up Westeros with the last two established Six Kingdom powerbases that were in place before the events of Robert's death have King Bran's back: The Vale (Lord Royce can puppet Robin Arryn who is a kin to Bran by being a Tully) and the Riverlands (Edmure the Effectual also being a Tully).

As for the other four? Gendry just has to convince whatever bannerman of the Stormlands to be on his side but he also has the benefit of growing up a commoner so he could plausibly rally smallfolk to his cause. Dorne's ostensibly Martell-related Prince might follow the Sansa's lead and go full independent since we dunno anything about their motives with Doran/Oberyn and Ellaria Sand being wiped the **** out. Bronn is going to be content with being a Lord Paramount in High Garden and can be reined in by Tyrion.

The Westerlands are the issue since the Lannister's powerbase, the gold mines, are tapped and Tyrion is rightfully the most hated man in the Six Kingdoms. I'd guess if the books play out just like Season 8, a conspiracy between the Maesters and the Hightowers could try to usurp him out of control.

That was kind of foreshadowed with her inner circle dying off so I don’t have a problem with that.

I do have a problem with how the Night King saga ended, that storyline was like great foreplay that led to bad sex. What was the purpose of the Night King, the white walkers etc. They just show up and the badass NK gets an Air Arya ending?

As I said, two good episodes this season but the rest were straight trash.
