He once walked into Mance Rayder’s tent to kill him, knowing he would be killed immediately for it, because it would scatter the free folk. He’s always done this@SkitchP wrote:Of course Jon got a raw deal. Is that even being debated? But he, for better or worse, stayed true to his character.

The very end with Jon looking back was the perfect way to end it

Re: HBO: Game of Thrones (Song of Ice and Fire)
Just finished a rewatch.
They’ve literally set the table to come back to all of it in a few years. After an arya spin off series
Just heard there’s a GRRM short story about a girl travelling in strange lands. It’s heavily implied it’s Arya
Hbo have the right to do whatever they want

The person pushing hardest for this will be Kit Harrington, when he's hard-up and destitute and can't land any other good roles.dimejinky99 wrote:Just finished a rewatch.

He'll be the latest victim to the "career defining" character that no one can get past, much like his predecessors Mark Hammill, Elijah Wood, Daniel Radcliffe, Mark Paul Gosselaar, and Jaleel White.

Re: HBO: Game of Thrones (Song of Ice and Fire)
Her act is perfection. If we take out S8E5, which is nonsense. And clearly D&D are okay with us doing that as it regards Arya because they completely ignored it themselves in S8E6. Take out that one ep and her arc is sublime.Strat wrote:I do wish Arya had some major final kill to seal off her arc and her learned skills over her journey. Her character was somewhat limp though seeing Joey's reaction to her storyline in the end has me wondering how much I missed.
Arya is everything.

Except, again, take away that convo and we still have the same story.
