Hey, Greyworm and Jon seem to have some beef this season. I wonder if there was an incident that took place that might give Greyworm justification to kill Jon. Nah, just send him off to the black.

Could be worse. You could be Dany's longest ally and ready to liberate the world with her to not even being shown as being upset when she is murdered.
Dothraki be like, "Queen is murdered. Let's go home and prepare for the Belmont stakes."

Read posts before you post. You get very upset when I bring up the good parts of the show and constantly critique my critique. Stop being a hypocrite and whining about anything positive being mentioned and ruining you bitchfest.
Now by all means, continue to cry about how miserable you are.

I mean pretty sure killing innocents falls under war crimes but whatevs. It's not like the Nazis got a pass because they were following Hitler's order. It's all relative to which side ends up winning the war as to who is guilty of what 'crimes'.

They did kind of jump forward in time though, so who knows how their initial reaction was like.

Well we pretty much know the cons of this episode/season. Imo it was shit
But some of the good
Tyrion is a bad ass actor. His scenes when he finds Jamie and Cersei and him throwing the hand pin were really good
Arya 30 second pep talk from the hound didn’t make her settle down turn into a lady but to become Christopher Columbus
Sansa character was probably done the best. She always wanted to be a lady and move south marry a king. Things she witnessed and learned made her love the north and she became the queen of the north. Big change from what she was season one to now

I don't comment on your positive posts so not sure what you are talking about. Your posts always throw shade at people who disagree. That is what I responded to.
The bold is obviously the part I was criticizing. I would not have said anything if you had just stuck with "Great episode, by far best of a weak season 8, well written and acted." Pretty disingenuous though to leave off the part where you complain about hive minds and call people limp dicks because they have a different view than yours.
All I see is people discussing the show respectfully and you ranting like an old man telling people to get off your lawn because they disagree with you about a TV show of all things. If I or anyone else commented that you were a limp dick for liking the show then please let me know.

Greyworm didn't kill innocents. It was Dany that did so. Greyworm attacked soldiers because his Queen refused their surrender. Those soldiers would have ended up attacking at some point once Dany continued to burn civilians so Greyworm simply attacked before they did. His killing the soldiers at the start of the show is also not war crimes in the world of this show and was on Dany's orders. I would agree that in the end it is somewhat relative but Greyworm is on the side of the winners here and controls a formidable army. So I would say whether you kill enemy soldiers after a battle is up to discretion as opposed to war crimes. The only war crimes would be Dany's slaughter of innocents. If all she had done was order the soldiers be killed then people may not like it but I doubt anyone would have killed her over it.
Well you would think the guys that have been with her the longest deserved for their reaction to be shown in some form or fashion.

In the past Dany dying would have been the end of an episode. Now we don't even get a full episode to deal with the aftermath.
But we did get two full episodes of people mostly just hanging out at the beginning of the season. I guess that was more important...

Maybe it was just me, but we thought Tyrion crying in the beginning was really bad acting. Cringe worthy.

You don't even notice all the paragraphs you spend complaining about me, then occasionally going back to complaining about the show. You seem like a genuinely miserable guy, being that unhappy constantly must make you very unpleasant to be around.
Lighten up.

I think the Unsullied were killing innocent civilians as well. Not positive, but we did certainly see the Northmen of the army raping women sooooo...

Not sure if the Unsullied did or not but certainly not Greyworm so blaming him if they did would be like blaming Jon because the Northman tried to rape people.
Keep in mind they are eunuchs so no real reason for them to be like the Northmen raping and pillaging.
Also Greyworm was reasonable in the end and chose to honor Missandei and sale for her homeland Naath presumably to protect her people from slavers. So really not a character that would just kill civilians. He ultimately has a sense of justice and fairness. Killing soldiers is oje thing but killing innocents quite another.

Overall, a super fun show to watch. Will never rewatch b/c why the **** would you? Didn't like season 8 that much for obvious reasons. Glad to have checked it out.

Yes, there was a lot of time wasted in this final season. 2 episodes of kumbaya and even in this episode, Tyrion wandering around for 15min looking for his bro. **** it, done now and I can think back to the good parts when I want. But so many opportunities to make this epic....
