Why is grey worm dictating to the lords of Westeros about Jon? And how they should proceed with a king(or not?) makes absolutely no sense.

Then the worm manages to get jon sent to the wall? And they all agree? Even though he has a rightful claim and gendry has an even better claim and they’re both not exactly busy

Uuuggghhh
Jon didn't want to be king. At no point did he back down or change his mind from that.

Jon backed and enabled Dany and a dragon to flatten a city and kill thousands


He’s directly responsible


The truest outcome for him would have been to take the throne and rebuild the city and redress all the wrongs done that he allowed happen.

He’s the most hard headed nobility stuck up his ass character left in the show.
Duty and honour
He never would have ran away.

Tyrion Varys Davos etc all felt deeply responsible when they saw what’s she’d done.

Jon did too. He gets some e fuse for killing her. But I don’t think it’s true to his character that he would have ran at that point. It would have maybe been a bit too Disney happy ever after for him and the series but would have made more sense than what we got.

Especially the dumb manner the new king gets chosen. And the even dumber say it happens. Even though the process is a good idea. The delivery of it really wasn’t

The scene with Grey Worm and all the surviving lords, with the Tyrion speech where he points to Bran, and the lords laughing at democracy, is the worst scene in the whole series. Pure garbage.

Final season, for sure.
I agree the 7th season compromises weren't nearly as egregious as S8; it was mostly just weird travel/time jump stuff. But the lack of Greywolf, and the continued hackneyed delivery of Euron still sucked.
Jesus, Euron... :shake:

the fucking worst
On this we can agree.
Did you really like Euron in the show?
No, he was awful. His writing and performance were both poor. Should have had Victarion from the book instead.
Or they should have made Euron the tripped out child molesting wannabe sorcerer that he is in the books.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
