Game of Thrones S8E6 5/19/2019 "The Iron Throne" Series Finale

Charles Dance is a great actor and a strong presence in any scene he participated in.

 

Dire Wolf spotted at our dog park.




Actually, it's just Reggie (80lb shepherd) and Beloux (140lb NewFoundland), caught with his ears raised, but really does kinda look like a Dire Wolf.



Beloux is ONE HUGE but sweet dog!

 

I love Newfs (and that is a pretty one!), but like most giant breeds they have such short lives.

 

Did you know that when Tywin Lannister was skinning a stag in an early scene (it may have been his character’s first spoken lines), he was actually skinning an actual stag? And you can see the symbolism of a Lannister butchering a stag (the House Baratheon symbol on their banners).

 

Same for me, which was quite surprising. It seemed to drag on forever on first watch; second time it really didn't seem like that much time was devoted to it. I guess because I knew how it ended?

Top 5 favorite scene of all time. It so fully fleshed out the character of Tywin Lannister.

 

Since most of the other major Houses have been destroyed, the other 6 kingdoms are in disarray and won't be able to complain for many years to come. That should give Bran's Council time to set up a stable government.

 

Just finished watching season 8 on BluRay. I somehow kept from hearing any spoilers. All I knew was that a lot of people didn't like the way it was wrapped up. I was pretty much okay with it.

As pointed out in the thread about a previous episode I thought Varys was sending off notes letting the other leaders know about Jon's true heritage. But then he gets roasted and nothing comes of it.
