About a week after the series finale of Game of Thrones, the dust started to settle on the ending we were given, and the conclusion we all hoped for. Much of this afterthought is decidedly different than the initial reactions on the last podcast and predominantly plagued with disappointment.

The story of the Great War will be kept alive in memory for generations to come, and so will the legend of Cersei’s ruthlessness and brutality. It’s about the only thing we can count on in the game of thrones. And as Dany continues to take egregious losses, that Targaryen wildfire is on the precipice of igniting.

Game of Thrones, Season 8, Episode 3: The Long Night
Stimulated Boredom | Reviews. Gadgets. Gaming. Geek Culture. Podcast.
The longest part of The Long Night was that panic-inducing, nail-biting, palm-sweating, 14-minute opening scene until the Army of the Dead extinguished the Dothraki in UNDER. A. MINUTE.

Game of Thrones Podcast: Season 7, Episode 5, “Beyond the Wall”

On this week's 'Game of Thrones' discussion: Two living Targaryens. Two sad Dragons. Two damaged Starks. Two blue eyes. One Night King. One episode remains.
info_outlineGame of Thrones is a fantastic journey through the multitude perspectives of its characters, and the series finale meant to resolve that journey somehow. After eight years, it’s hard to let go, and maybe it’s even painful to celebrate the resolutions that we did get shoe-horned into that 80 minutes.
However you may feel about Bran the Broken, the birth of democracy in Westeros, or the obliteration of the Iron Throne and our silver-haired Khaleesi with it, the visuals in the episode took the throne.
The series finale is beautiful. Jon passing Drogon in the ash. The red Targareyan sigil hanging on the ruin of King’s Landing. Arya and her wolf mast ship. Dany and the Drogon’s dragon wings!
We can ostensibly celebrate in its visual grandeur and crowning costume moments. We do that and explore a spectrum of thoughts and feelings about the narrative. Also, welcome regular listener and commenter to the show, Devan!
Devan and Pete make Dana and Vanessa look like n00bs while we figure out if we liked the episode or not.
- So many charred bodies
- That tension between Jon and Greyworm, woah
- Arya sneaks up on Jon, again
- Hope is the death of duty. Duty is the death of love.
- The table shrouded in destruction, then the table is “rebuilt”/0
- The unpolished Small Council
- Tyrion’s face, in all of the scenes
- Jon and Dany, they don’t get to choose
- Awkward for Edmure
- THE NORTH SECEDES! #sansa4eva
- The spin-off is definitely Jon, Ghost, and Tormund
- Guys, the Starks rule the world!
