The ones that were right were painfully obvious. These guys have become less and less creative with their writing.
Close? They didn't include a script but they said:
Varys executed
Dany and Grey Worm go crazy
Hound and Mountain both die in their fight
Jamie and Cersei are killed together
Im convinced the spoilers are real. And next week is going to piss off everyone.

So GOT once again tells the story of when women get into a position of power. They go bat-**** crazy!
Feminist must not be too happy.

Great acting, SFX, production, etc. Story just gets worse every week.
Dany spent 10 years accruing an army and 3 dragons, all she needed was 1 dragon and a couple hours.
Bran and the NK were pointless.
79 episodes building Cersei as the antagonist, 3 to turn Dany into it.
Tyrion has gone from clever genius, to dumber than Catelyn Stark.
Scorpions have less accuracy than Keegan James vs Memphis.
Euron swims ashore right next to Jaime? Then Jaime navigates KL with two collapsed lungs?
Iron Fleet knows they’re at Dragonstone but let’s them pass and set up camp outside KL.
Clegane Bowl was awesome and fulfilling. The writing this season has been a disaster. 10-15 plot holes an episode. Disappointed. But, the first 6 seasons are the greatest in television history. Glad I was along for the ride.

Tonight was the breaking point for me. This episode was terrible and made no sense at all. Especially how they got there. All the build up ands story lines pointless. I was hoping there would be more to the night king and bran and I was disappointed the way they had all of this build up and it was just nothing to it really. Then tonight it’s just one thing after another. It was one of the best shows on television ever but the way that HBO has gone through this last season has been terrible.
There have been no rules of war for 8 seasons, then Cersei passes on killing them all at the end of the last episode. What?!?!
As far as the spoilers go, I predicted the four that were posted myself. I’m sure millions of others did too. Of course Varys was going to die. Of course the Hound and the Mountain were both going to bite it. Dany and Grey Worm going nuts was inevitable. Jaime and Cersei going out together wasn’t surprising.
Methinks that Arya has made a new list, and it only has one name on it. Jon Snow will use the northmen to expel the remainder of Dany’s forces and he will be crowned, but extremely unhappy about it. Tyrion will be executed, and I hate it.

Nah, Jon’s gonna decide to kill Dany but Dany kills him first because he won’t give her the D any more. Then Arya kills Dany and Sansa/Tyrion take the throne to rule together. Arya decides Gendry is actually pretty dope and decides Storms End is a baller place. The end.

So, dragons, zombies and witches bringing folks back from the dead, but two dudes that hate each other on the same beach is what pushes you over the edge?
This season has seemed thrown together, but it’s still a good show. It just feels like HBO is trying too hard to tie the whole thing together in one season when it really needed two full seasons. Maybe the point of the whole show is to show that power can ruin the best intentions, but that storyline is jaded. I’m ready for a new favorite show.
I know many on here have pointed out how this season seems rushed and almost out of place with the story telling. Well, you aren’t wrong. This guy does a great job of explaining what’s going on. It’s a whole bunch of tweets but he’s spot on

What were y'all expecting? A happy ending? I've been prepared for this kind of twist every since Ned lost his head. This season seems a little rushed, but still nicely done. Jon reminds me of Ned. He thinks he's doing the honorable thing by standing by his queen, but he should've seen this coming. Damn V power.
This is an excellent summary of what's going on these last two seasons. Endings are hard - it's a different genre/style of show but take a look at how many Saturday Night Live skits over the years have a great premise and are pretty funny to start with but that end with a whimper. Endings are especially hard when you're A) ending something that someone else began and 2) are trying to wrap up so many different plot points.
Case in point, some of the things the show built up over the years (thanks to the books) have had absolutely zero to do with what's going on in the final act:
Everything Dorne-related... Could have been cut from the show completely.
Ghost - he was gone for seasons and then just showed up for a couple of scenes at the very end?
Did the Red Wedding amount to anything? It was certainly a spectacle and maybe it gave Arya a small piece of her character arc but it didn't really affect any of the characters that are still left.
Even though I thought the Battle of Winterfell episode was great, I agree that all the set up they did for the White Walkers (all that bit with Craster's children) ended without much of a satisfying conclusion.
And that's just off the top of my head.
And... The Golden Company, twenty thousand of the best sell swords in the known world. Commanded by a military genius. Destroyed in ten seconds by a rampaging dragon which destroyed the Iron Fleet and 90% of King's Landing on its own. We couldn't even get a Strickland/Grey Worm fight with spear vs scimitar to make it look halfway convincing.
Yeah, I’ve mostly held my tongue so far, but this season has been really disappointing to me aside from episode 3. It’s not even the plot holes or feeling of being rushed that gets me. It’s the fact that a brilliant show that kept you guessing every episode for 7 years is now being tied up with a Marvel-esque finish.
In other words, we’re still getting great acting, big moments, and great production value, but 90% of it has been highly predictable and a lot of it is just coming together too cleanly. Good vs bad isn’t supposed to be this clear cut in GoT.
Also, the thing that pissed me off more than anything last night was how they ended things for Cersei. That chick has been an absolute cut throat biatch for 7 seasons, and they tried WAY too hard to generate viewer sympathy by acting like it was all for her children. BS. She should have gotten an absolutely brutal death last night, and it sucks that they ended things by trying to suddenly show this human side of her

Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series is a great example of how to end a book series. He died after he had started the next to last book. His wife knew how the book should end from his notes. They hire Brandon Sanderson (one of my favorite scifi/fantasy authors) to finish the book and the series. He ended up writing maybe 2 or 3 books after finishing Robert Jordan's last book. He said it was too much left to finish with one book.
Anyone interested in Wheel of Time, it is going to be a series on Amazon in a few years. They start production this year and it will be similar to Game of Thrones. With the way this is ending, I am not sure I am very pumped about the Game of Thrones spin offs. It might be something I just binge watch at some point.
And Jaime redeems himself only to crawl back to Cersei like a battered spouse. I don't mind Jaime dying but that was such a let down since his character's introduction in episode 1.
And Cersei deserved to die a horrible death. I mean burned beyond recognition kind of death where she's crawling around with layers of burned flesh peeling away.
That really did suck about Jaime. I guess it was somehow fitting for them to die together, but the writers really made him look pathetic during the last 2 episodes.
It would have been so much better if they had just let him plunge a sword into her before the ceiling collapsed. Like, a literal sword. Not, you know...

My point being the symbolism of Arya and the white horse. I'm thinking Dany has now been added to her list after what she saw her do to the common folk in the city.
Sansa too. She may have begrudgingly bent the knee to keep peace in the 7 kingdoms but after the Massacre of King's Landing she's not swearing fealty to Dany. She'll say she's the Queen of the North.
It seems people are critical of the scorpions inability to shoot down the dragon this episode.
I would say the idea that the scorpions could shoot down a dragon in previous episodes is more ludicrous. It can be done. But.... it would take an extreme amount of luck and everything coming together perfectly for a scorpion to be aimed in the direction and height to launch a arrow as a dragon flew by.
Go down to the lake with a bow. Jump some Canadas and try to put an arrow in one of them. Think about how much agile and faster your body is swinging to lead the goose and let an arrow fly at the perfect trajectory.
So I think it is much more plausible that Dany could burn everything and one down around her, than one be shot down with a heavy wooden cross bow that is aimed with men pulling chains.
With all that Said, I wonder who puts an arrow in the dragon to bring her down in the final episode.
