The Iron Throne (2019)

Now My Watch Ends


Episode 6, Season 8. I thought I had it all figured out before I watched this episode - I only had part of my guess right, the rest of it was wrong.

Without ruining the ending: I can say I'm not disappointed in who ends up being crowned for the Iron Throne but I really thought someone else was going to get it.

It's not the greatest of episodes but it's not all that bad. I'll admit the last season felt rushed as if they were trying to hurry up and end the series, yet they had 2 years to film it. Over all, I'm not that disappointed with Season 8 but I do wish more was added to it and it felt slower.

All this mess over Robert Baratheon. He fell in love with Lyanna Stark - she told him NO because he already had bastard children all over - he would have cheated on her too. She met Rhaegar Targaryen - Robert got jealous and started the rumors that Rhaegar had abducted Laynna (untrue she left willingly to be with Rhaegar) -- all that led to Robert's rebellion which lead us into the reason for the story: Democracy is now the order of Westeros - it has become a Democratic Oligarchy (still run by a small group of people, but who runs the 7 Kingdoms is now voted on.
