Not particularly specific to the final season, but a nice cover of the theme song by a fan.

Plot twist: Jon enters the woods in the wild north to live out his days, runs across a lumberjack named Dexter.
A lot of long faces today at work over the ending. This show seems to be messing with people's lives :dunno
the hollowness of peoples lives and ensuing hardcore fandom(and ensuing rage: see star wars now too) is a cultural lowpoint
the level of emotional investment in a for profit tv show is insane, and sad, and honestly a bit pathetic
I enjoyed the show, the finale of season 6 was probably the greatest single episode in TV history. the long night and the bells were marvels to watch and while not my favorite season, I enjoyed it, and the series as a whole

But the important thing is the political storytelling and the sociological invention — the machinations of statesmen and soldiers and queens and cutthroats, under the weight of particular institutions and traditions, in a world more violent and extreme and death-shadowed and therefore (let’s be honest) more narratively interesting than our own ...
... Two of the most successful completed sagas of the last 20 years, Robin Hobb’s Farseer novels and Tad Williams’s “Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn,” balance political machinations that would be at home in Shakespeare’s histories and larger world stories about the death and life of magic ...
How ‘Game of Thrones’ Failed Fantasy
“The show embodied the reasons for the genre’s appeal — and then forgot them.”
If that was the episode where Cersi is drinking wine while the religious nuts get blown to smithereens then I totally agree (Just said this last night).
I don't know how many of the GOT fans know about Savanorola in Florence but that story arc was interesting to me for that reason.
I had to look it up, that had to be the basis for the GoT story line. Thanks, I learned something today!

I enjoyed the show, the finale of season 2006 was probably the greatest single race in TV history. Laguna 2008 and Sepang 2015 were marvels to watch and while not my favorite season, I enjoyed it, and the series as a whole

Changes in bold. Just sayin', you could literally say that about anything in popular culture that people are really into.
Tyrion said:I once walked into a brothel with a jackass and a honeycomb and said to the madame, "I am weary from long travels. May I trade my donkey for a warm bed and a woman to share it with me?" Seeing the value in the deal, she obliged my whim. I went on, "If it's not too much to ask may I trade the honeycomb for something to eat?"
This seemed to puzzle the madame. She asked me, "Why do you need something to eat when you can just eat the honeycomb?"
To which I replied, "For the same reason I'm trading the donkey for a night with one of your women; I am tired of eating honeycomb."
