Sounds like D&D are getting a Star Wars trilogy. Honestly, it might be more their speed. I just got caught up on this thing...the ending was a bit of a splat but nowhere near as bad as the nerds on youtube were literally crying about.

The biggest disappointment for me was that Jaime and Cersei were killed senselessly by falling bricks. Should have been more of a character moment after 7 years. As in, Cersei should have been on the verge of doing something truly heinous, and Jaime, in Kingslayer fashion, should have killed her. He should have finally realized how unredeemable they both were...but instead of wallowing in it with her he should have killed her and himself died slumped over her corpse in a pool of fraternal twin blood all Shakespeare-ish. Cersei should have had a final moment of self-awareness and regret, and Jaime's years-long character rehabilitation should have had a real payoff. There was room for legit tragedy/too little too late redemption there...but instead...falling bricks.

But, of course, we can't steal thunder from that one Targ knifing the other Targ.

I liked the duel between Clegane and was-Clegane.

The final political resolution made no sense. The North breaking away, sure. How are they really going to stop them? Then again...the crown is basically toothless and couldn't stop anyone, particularly Dorne, from doing the same.

Any ending that doesn't involve my girl Cersei sitting on the Iron Throne is bullshit.

The North remaining independent is very Brexity.

As an aficionado of all types of fountain pens and one who’s had innumerable hours spent drafting with rapidograph pens on vellum and Mylar, I was just waiting for Brienne to smudge the shit out of that text.

Her closing of that book before the ink had dried was one of the greatest crimes of this series.
