Re: GAME OF THRONES

The finale was absolutely terrible. And I was actually enjoying this season, even with all of its flaws.

The lack of a big battle between Stannis and the Boltons was a missed opportunity and Melisandre just abandoned him so easily.

Sansa didn't get to do anything and barely even appeared. I was hoping for her to do more to escape and maybe team up with Brienne.

The Dorne plot was just pointless.

I'be been enjoying Dany's plots this whole season though, so I'm interested in what happens next season with her. I'm also interested in seeing what goes on with Jorah and Darrio, Tyrion, Varys, Grey Worm and Missandei.

Jon isn't dead. He's coming back. And hopefully next season, we will get more Night's King action. The last twenty minutes of Hardhome were the best of this season imo. And I want to know what the fuck that guy is up to.

Pretty much all this. We spent an entire season with Stannis and Davos in the snow and building up to a battle (plus the lead ups from last season), and then nope. One minute and everyone's dead. Like, I understand the showrunners REALLY wanted to destroy Stannis the Mannis, but that was excessive character assassination even for them.

I guess the one thing it did was give Sansa enough open room to escape? But even then she didn't take charge of anything. Theon saved her, first by killing Miranda, and then essentially pulling a Doctor by grabbing her hand and yelling "run!"

So disappointed by Dorne. Soooo disappointed.

What happened to "we don't hurt little girls in Dorne?" What happened to the Ellaria who understood how the deadly game of revenge worked and how no amount of violence would bring Oberyn back? What happened to basic common sense of, I don't know, NOT PUTTING YOUR CROWN PRINCE ON A SHIP WITH THE ENEMY AND THEN KILLING THEIR DAUGHTER?

Like you, I did enjoy the Dany plots. Fast forwarding that whole thing and getting Tyrion to Mereen midseason was by far the best change they made.

Uh, well, the person who claimed "we don't hurt little girls in Dorne" wasn't the one who hurt Myrcella, was it? And Ellaria (obviously) never cared that revenge on the Lannisters wouldn't bring Oberyn back. Plus, I doubt she cares much about what happens to Trystane; it's all about Oberyn for her.

I was referring to book!Ellaria. She straight out told the Sand Snakes that their plans of revenge would only lead to more death. It was a really nice counterpoint to the Blood and Fire/Hear Me Roar mentalities of Dany and Cersei respectively.

Also I guess you could argue that show!Ellaria doesn't care about Trystane, but he's still the only heir to the throne in this verse. All of Oberyn's children are illegitimate. She is essentially tossing away the future of Dorne as an independent kingdom. You know, something she should care about seeing as how she hates the Lannisters so much?

If anything it would've been smarter to use a fast acting poison on the dock. She would've been arrested, but at least then Dorne would've been better poised for a counter attack/the upcoming war that's going to break out.
