Although we’ve come to the end of the road, we are here to tackle the hard hitting questions….a week and a half later. \u00a0Littlefinger lost the game, Dany and Jon kinda lost the game, and the Wall truly lost the game. \u00a0With this being the season finale, I encouraged my contributors to get back at me for all of the negative things I say to them throughout the season. \u00a0While some played nice and stayed classy like Bri, the other 2 were savages. \u00a0It’s a good time. So please enjoy as my panel answer my inane questions and have some good laughs. \u00a0Any comments in\u00a0bold<\/strong> are from Kent.<\/p>\n

  1. \u00a0Sansa has sentenced Littlefinger to death. \u00a0Would the story moving forward next season have been more interesting if Sansa had ordered for Arya to be killed?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Chris: \u00a0Kent you have no taste, and no this works out better. Now we can have Aryafinger next season in King\u2019s Landing \u00a0<\/span>(Hahaha, oh damn it, that was the first thing I read. \u00a0Kudos.)<\/b><\/p>\n

    Jim: \u00a0\u201cKent, you are a hackneyed writer and you should bend the knee because I write with you\u201d\u00a0(That sounds about right.)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    I’d love to buy into the \u201cdark side\u201d Sansa with Littlefinger controlling.. (emperor with smith lord), but realistically, there is nothing saying the student didn’t \u00a0outlast the master and will going for the win on her own\u2026. \u00a0he’s had her ear for years, so maybe he rubbed off. \u00a0The plan was a great example of that possibility. \u00a0If there was more than 6 episodes, I’d say it was a strong possibility, but it feels too short for her to make that play. \u00a0(Knowing that there are only 6 episodes really limits some of my questions. \u00a0If we had 3 more seasons, I bet the responses would be very different. \u00a0Still, I think in an alternate universe, it could have been fun.)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    Briana: \u00a0More interesting? Maybe but only because Arya would have escaped and came after Sansa! Lol! However, I thought the scene was executed perfectly (see what I did there? Haha) \u00a0(Executed indeed! \u00a0Yeah, I really wanna see Arya do some more crazy stuff. \u00a0While she stagnated a bit during her training montage in season 5 and 6, I have always loved watching her do her thing.)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    Kent: \u00a0The story would have been far more fascinating with Sansa turning to the darkside and allying herself with Littlefinger and potentially try to swoop in to take the Iron Throne amidst all of this chaos. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    1. \u00a0Did anybody at the meeting truly think that Jon would lie, no matter how much it could have helped his cause? \u00a0If so, name who you think was that dumb. \u00a0There were dumb characters at the meeting.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \"\"<\/p>\n

      Chris: \u00a0Russ and his mom thought Jon would lie. Everyone else in the real world knew better. In Westeros, I don\u2019t think everyone already knew he bent the knee, but if they did, I think they just thought he would neglect to mention it rather than outright lie. Cersei never asked him to bend the knee to her, so telling her that he did to Dany wasn\u2019t telling the truth, it was over sharing. \u00a0(Russ’ mom jokes know no limits, just like Jon Snow knows nothing.)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n

      Jim: \u00a0I think his allies were surprised that he was so dumb, but they should have known. \u00a0He is the dumbass who thought sending 6 guys and 3 red shirts north of the wall to kidnap a zombie seemed like a good idea. \u00a0I feel like they coulda coached him up a little bit, so the fault is on them, not his dumbass.\u00a0(You’re right. \u00a0I blame Tyrion the most. \u00a0He knows how his sister operates, and he should have been preparing the whole crew on what to possibly expect. \u00a0I simultaneously feel bad for Tyrion because he seems to be getting a lot of blame this season when most of the time, he has been doing the smart thing, just with shitty results.)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

      Briana: \u00a0Definitely Tyrion and Dany thought he would lie. But that’s only because they don’t really know him. They know Starks are honest people to a fault but Jon is technically a Snow (as far as they know) and I think Tyrion sees him as a kindred soul, he thinks they’re a lot alike being their \u201cBastard\u201d connection. (Back when they first met and Tyrion gave his speech about dwarves being bastards in their fathers eyes) he thinks he’d do what Tyrion would do. Also, ya know I just don’t think anyone expected him to be so blunt with Cercei given the stakes. \u00a0(Great point about the bastard connection. \u00a0The show makes it seem like most bastards have shit lives, and really Jon was fortunate in the way that he was brought up. \u00a0He’s the exception to the rule.)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n

      Kent: \u00a0I think Tyrion is at the top of that list, along with Dany, Jaime, and Hound. \u00a0Tyrion is having a rough season as far as being wrong at really bad times, and this is another one. \u00a0Then the times that he is right, he still gets knocked down a peg in some capacity. \u00a0Dany is obvious due to naivety. \u00a0Jaime and Hound simply assumed that Jon would do what they would have in that scenario, which is lie. \u00a0Davos and Cersei were probably the only 2 that weren\u2019t surprised.<\/span><\/p>\n

      1. \u00a0A lot of the internet wants Tormund to get with Brienne of Tarth. \u00a0A whole other large segment wants her and Jaime to hook up. \u00a0Gun to your head, which scenario would you prefer to see? \u00a0\u00a0Please don\u2019t tell me the merits of both options, we get it.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        \"\"<\/p>\n

        Chris: \u00a0Tormund should be dead right now according to what they filmed at the end of the episode. Too bad I am team Tormund. They did an interview Gwendolyne Christie and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and he said he was team Tormund too. She said she wanted to hook up with Dany; Nik said he wouldn’t mind seeing that either.\u00a0(Fantastic insight, thank you for the link. \u00a0 She looks very nice in the video.)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
