So our watch is over! Be interested to hear peoples thoughts on the last episode and the series as a whole. Be warned SPOILERS are below!

I again, loved the episode, this was why we watch game of thrones.

The scenes with Tyrion at the beginning were brilliant, not just visually but for the character. There was so little dialogue but because dinklage has built his character so well you understood what was going through his mind.

The battle cry from Dany was the final point on her dissent into madness, although at first I did wonder how they understood her, it was still wonderfully done. And the shot with the dragon behind was again a lovely shot.

Then Tyrion's dialogue with Jon summed up that the power isn't with the king or queen, but those individuals from behind the glamour. I did think his character was long gone after throwing away the pin.

Then the moment, although I kind of wished that was our ep 5 ended as a week of who's dead, would of been fun.

The scene with the new council was cleverly done, bran was a left field option but just glad he was of use in the end. Although, he must be a bit power hungry, he could see all the devastation happen just to let him become king!

Sam's little nod to democracy was one of my favourite lines.

Also anyone that cares about the bottles being seen, 1 how have you noticed them? And 2 sorry that the dragons and the zombies weren't enough of a clue this wasn't real. They had huge costumes on in baking heat and I cared about the story more then a few minor mishaps.

The ending was surprisingly tied up in a little bow, not what I was expecting from GOT. But the more I think about it it works.

As for the series, it was rushed, but I think they intended it to be. If we had a few filler episodes people would complain and you can't please everyone. Overall I've loved game of thrones and look forward to the spin offs.

Edit: apologies written this on my phone so apologies if it doesn't read correctly.

Also, ed001 regarding the sponsors on the right side of the page, is it worth putting the other pages up in the short term to try and drive additional traffic to them? i.e the movie/f1 pages? But like halfway down the boxes so it doesn't discourage future sponsors?

{Ed001's Note - it is not as simple as that to just put up things on the sponsors boxes but yes that is actually not a bad idea, I will speak to Ed033 about it now.}

I think the key word is rushed, but I think if people were told after season 3 characters would get these ending then th eh would of probably of been pleased, including the mad queen twist which is something I thought they would do even if it was executed terribly. I think it's was the way we got there and the finer details as oppose to the actual ending that has disappointed people, and I too think it was all little rushed and in general the show went from a complex character and plot to extremely basic and simple and somewhat check listy

None the less the episodes cannot be faulted for production quality, cinematography, music, acting, production value. I do agree complaining about the cups and things seems a strange one to pick up on, especially as they are very hard to spot and not exacly turning up every where. However I don't really agree with the idea that that because there are fictional elements this means it doesn't matter if anything it matters more as a show creates its own reality and if its set in a fantasy world or the past and modern day things kept Turning up it would be distracting I think. However this isn't the case it was one Starbucks cup I couldn't even make out and those waters bottles were half visible behind a chair, don't know how anyone saw those

It ended mostly as I expected. Arya went off to do her own thing, she's not the marrying and settling down type. Sansa got what she wanted, Winterfell and Northern independence although I wonder who she'll marry to create the next generation of Starks. Jon went back to where he was happiest. As you say Bran was left field but there wasn't anyone else left. Dany had been built up since early on. But it was rushed. I feel the previous series should've been 10 episodes instead of 7 to properly build it up more then come into the last series with them all feature length to give more time to show the effects of things.

O well its done. Onto the spin offs.
