1. Drogon not killing Jon the instant he sees he killed her mother is absurd

Well Jon is a Targaryen after all. Can't say I really understand the connection the family seems to have with dragons but it became apparent when Jon first met Drogon and he stroked his head (to Daenerys' surprise) without getting his hand bitten off that he had a connection to Drogon too due to his bloodline. Him being a Targaryen is why I assume he wasn't killed by Drogon.

You beat me to it.  I was thinking the exact same thing.

In the lore, dragons are believed to respond to valyrian heritage, but not even being a Targaryen guarantees anything, specially when they are bounded to someone else. A Targaryen queen was sentenced to be devoured by a dragon once.

Also...

A song of coffee and water?

There is an argument to be made that he has Targaryan blood, it's a weak one but it is there. I was waiting for and would have loved to seen him burn Jon but he still remains standing as fire can not burn a dragon, just after grey worm enters with some soldiers as witnesses and well, don't know where they would have went from there but it would have been amazing but it didn't happen. Perhaps Jon could have mounted Drogon there and flew off with his last scene burying Dany and then meeting up with Ghost and ending the way it did but a scream of King beyond the wall to complete out his arc. Anything but they way they got there with the time skips and scene breakage. Litterally anything else.

I'm pretty sure that if Viserys lived and killed Daenerys, the plot would have no problem in burning him to ashes..... I'm sorry, but it doesn't make any sense to me at all. It's an animal..., and a fucking Dragon. 

But i guess it's just my opinion and i have to accept others.

Is this pretty much a guess on your part.  There really isn't enough history to understand if the Dragon would burn him to ash.  One thing in Martin books and story is that what people expect isn't always what you get.

What there is not enough story is to say a dragon would never burn a Targaryen, even if he barely knows him compared to her mother, and whe that person is the one who killed her in front of you in the first place. Sorry..., but no, dragons have never been depicted in the show, and even less in the books as "rational" beings.

But i won't insist anymore. This is just my opinion, everyone can have their own.

the ending felt kinda empty, a happy ending where Daenerys somehow acknowledges her mistakes after some drama and rules with Snow would be such an epic ending

the way they made her lose her mind in the last season was very incomplete in terms of story telling and character development, an average season after 7 breathtaking seasons!!

one of the best series of all time regardless, big respect to everyone involved, it really is a masterpiece of modern art that future generations will always come back to watch :)



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

Not the worst outcome I could have imagined. I give it a solid "Meh".

Too bad they spent so much time dragging certain scenes out way more than necessary that they had to rush more important scenes like the council. The Starks surely hit the jackpot by getting not only the iron throne (or puddle) but also an independant North! Not bad. Bran is kind of strange choice but then again I can see why they'd choose him as I'd imagine most would be very tired of war by now and Bran is probably someone who'll try to rule in peace. Bronn getting Highgarden and the Master of Coin on the other hand was mindboggling considering how trustworthy he is. He's the kind of person you simply have "disappear".

Jon being back in the Night's Watch was fitting I suppose and it was nice to see him reunite with Ghost

The implication was the Drogon didn't blame Jon, he blamed the politics and the Throne something Danny has longed after all her life. If you're going to pick apart anything Jon not been burned by Drogon is waaaaay down the list of fuck ups with this. My opinion, twas one of the better scenes of the show and shows that like Tyrion mused the dragons are as intelligent as people. Now the way Drogon flew off with Dany and that being the last we see of him or Jon getting caught off camera then time skips with zero consequence, that is worthy of critic.

"Fascinating but misunderstood beasts, Harry. Fascinating but misunderstood."
