I'm a tad disappointed but let's get real, there was A LOT to tie up.

I know lots of people are disappointed with the ending and I can see why but at the end of the day I also don't know how things could have ended up differently. I felt sad about Dany - more so because her character seemed to change so dramatically, that being said, like you mention, I think that streak was always in her. That Scene with Brienne completing Jamie's chapter in that huge book (of knights?) - gave me LotR vibes with Frodo finishing Bilbo's tale. Overall it's been a very good series, I might have felt some disappointment at the end but it's been a great ride and it feels a little like things have been left open - after all there's a dragon still out there!!<br />Lynn :DLynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13928865767523025349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-619089912491955920.post-59881912251270301322019-05-24T10:34:57.011-04:002019-05-24T10:34:57.011-04:00Oh yes, that scene was perfect!Oh yes, that scene was perfect!Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07496803823870196862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-619089912491955920.post-16156094166893122742019-05-24T10:34:33.333-04:002019-05-24T10:34:33.333-04:00Yes he is weird and I agree about understanding hi...Yes he is weird and I agree about understanding his powers.

In addition to all of the Loves you mentioned, I also loved the scene where Jaime knighted Brienne. That scene and the scene with Ghost in the final episode both made me cry, lol.

I guess they were going for impact with Jon killing Dany. However, I could never quite get past the whole, he's your nephew thing. I think Jon put some distance between them when they found out she was his aunt but Dany didn't. And yes, I will never forget Dany's husband. That's where my love of Jason Momoa started.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07496803823870196862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-619089912491955920.post-28296084361942499792019-05-22T15:30:48.142-04:002019-05-22T15:30:48.142-04:00Yes if you are on Twitter, you almost don't ne...Yes if you are on Twitter, you almost don't need to watch it :)Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07496803823870196862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-619089912491955920.post-25939535584813970852019-05-22T15:30:31.918-04:002019-05-22T15:30:31.918-04:00Yes it was.
