Watched the final episode of Years and Years tonight. Then straight away watched the news. I wasn't 100% sure that it wasn't the same programme.

I watched the last two episodes in a row via iPlayer. The sense of attention to detail comes across, just as it did in the previous series. Not just in the little things you see in passing (the Samuel

I will keep my thoughts until after 22:30.  

With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on!

Happy to report, I was pretty happy with that ending. After being so critical of this series I'm glad it finished in a way I was cool with.

I stayed up and watched it to get closure.  But i cannot say i was happy with it.

Rugby Union the only game in the world were the spectators handle the ball more than the players.

Once again pacing was an issue, but that was never going to change with 80mins left, but there was nothing that didnt make sense to me.

Just started watching Seinfeld on Amazon so I'll probably start watching Game of Thrones in 2040. No spoilers until after then please!

Game of Thrones final episode comments

Is that it?  Seven excellent series, I even really enjoyed the first four episodes of this final one despite them being roundly panned by critics.  The fifth I was OK with as I thought the unremitting darkness of it would be resolved in the final episode, in retrospect it was a very poor episode in the context of this final one.

In the context of this forum, it was like turning up for the Super League Grand Final and finding that it’d been swapped for an Old Fartoneans 5th team friendly game of union.

Come on...  seriously? They’ll tolerate a broken kid with clear possession issues and a clear history of manipulating things to get to this end point?  They’ll tolerate the North just breaking away on its own?  They’ll just write off the genocidal destruction of King’s Landing?  The horsey folk will be happy with being patted on the head and shipped back home? 

Not happy.  And I blame the awkward sod George R R Martin for not getting off his fat beardy behind and writing the end of the story properly in the last decade.

It’s pretty good.   

In the final scene Catelyn Stark wakes from a deep sleep to the sound of a shower running.  She gets up, walks to the bathroom, and there’s Ned Stark in the shower. He turns round, smiles, and says “Good morning”

Breaking News. HBO have agreed to one more episode of Game of Thrones. Drogon  will return and burn all the scheming b's . The wheel will be broken!

GoT/Star Wars comparisons anyone?

Bran = Emperor Palpatine.  Manipulated everyone until he got his way

Davos = Old Wanky Knobby.  The wise old sage who didn’t half waffle some daft stuff in an accent that didn’t suit his character.

Arya = Han Solo.  Eccentric outcast rebel criminal type.

Sandor (the Hound) Clegane = Chewbacca. No more needed and just as clear in how he speaks.

Eunuch army = stormtroopers. Apart from the Grey Worm chap, I didn’t see one hit a single zombie in the big fight.

Daenerys = Darth Vader.

Jon Snow = Luke Skywalker who instead of killing his dad, killed his auntie.

Tyrion = Yoda?

Samwell = C3PO with body issues?

Ned Stark = Uncle Owen (pointless death that created lots of early angst in the film)

Littlefinger = Grand Moff Tarkin?

Well the end of GoT was... a bit odd. 

Any TV series that has dragons , zombies , witches and isn't a comedy is ' odd ' 

I do get the feeling it will return at some point

I’d disagree as most of it hasn’t been odd. They’ve built the world very well, but there were a lot of things that didn’t really stack up in the ending.

Jon Snow’s parentage for example... wasn’t brought up at all in that final episode... strange. 

Overall, a truly great TV series. Lots of holes, misjudged pacing at times etc but boy was it good to watch and had you hooked.

This.

For me, the last episode was a bit underwhelming on first viewing, but that's only in comparison to all the riches that had preceded it.

Expectations could never be truly satisfied in an 80 minute swansong, no matter how they played it.

It did at least attempt to resolve the story, rather than cop out and leave everything just hanging in the air.

I won't be signing any petitions demanding it be remade. ?
