    I can't see how they can't NOT reform the jury system next year, starting with an increase in jurors to at least 10-15.

     

    But very embarrassing for the EBU, it was obvious to everyone watching live on the night how dodgy the Belarusian vote was.

    Especially given how one voter from Czechia voting incorrectly made it so that Poland should have qualified over Belarus. One juror should not hold that much power.

    At least it saved NORTH Macedonia the humiliation of being revealed last and having that 10 minute wait only to get 50 points from televoting.

     

    A joke anyway, and a joke its taken 5 DAYS LATER to resolve!!

    At lease she would have taken it better than John Lundvik did (not that I blame him). Her reaction to the televote score was kind of sweet actually while it was tough to watch John’s reaction.

    Looking on Wikipedia after this apparently there was also an issue with one of the Czech jurors voting in reverse in the semi-final which meant Poland should have qualified over Belarus. Not Eurovision having a BJSC esque scandal xx

    Omg I just saw this too. This is a mess. I love both Zena and Tulia but Poland deserved to qualify for sure! :(

    I guess that means none of the names on the poster will be participating? No Scarlet then :( (and thankfully no Silky)

     

    Also on a different note gays are really one of a kind. Two gay porn stars (Matthew Camp and Cade Maddox) being featured on a line-up is really peak gay culture :lol:

    (Can't quote too many so the replies are in order for each point)

     

    - Democracy in Westeros could never work because of how big it is but in the Iron Islands or in The Nights Watch it works because it's a smaller group of people who genuinely do all have the same interests. Sam bringing that up was perfect but idk why Yara didn't agree with him but say exactly what I just said tbh. A Westeros-wide vote for whether the crown should spend more money on healthcare vs more money on agriculture would f*** them up instantly. The Iron Islands would want more/better food because they can't grow their own yet live a relatively peaceful lifestyle, whereas Dorne would be the opposite as whilst they have heaps of land for crops they're a former-Kingdom all about fighting and sex eg wounds and diseases.

     

    - The Dothraki forgetting their Khal/Khaleesi rule was very convenient but I'm glad they didn't decide to follow Jon because oh shit theres another war Unsullied vs Dothraki and if the Dothraki won/Jon died they'd slaughter Kings Landing all over again.

     

    - If Bran had warned people of Dany's descent into madness then they would have prevented her and therefore changed the future, which would mean that Bran had never seen that future before thus reversing anything he'd seen. Or there'd be another reality made where Dany still burns the city down. Idk time travel bullshit really see: Endgame

     

    I'm not arguing whether democracy would be a good idea or not. I'm commenting on the fact that Yara finding the idea funny/stupid/whatever is weird given that's how she became queen of the Iron Islands lmao. That's sloppy writing.

     

    Again, sloppy writing is the main point here. It's not a question of whether I'd prefer them to forget about it or not. it's the fact that they shouldn't have.

     

    What's the use of knowing the future if you're not going to impact it in any way? Especially if it saves the lives of 1mil people lol. If he doesn't use his power in that manner he's obviously a terrible choice for the ruler of the realm.

     

    - Sam's been appointed to King's Landing as a maester :lol: The Lord Commander of the Nights Watch sent Sam to study to become a maester and then the head maester(?) has decided to send Sam to Kings Landing instead of The Wall. Likely because Bran requested him or even The Wall isn't an option for maesters at that point in time because it's run by freefolk.

     

    - Last's weeks scene where Jaime and Cersei are crushed made it look like the whole building fell down on them. This week with Tyrion finding them in the rubble was just to be dramatic tbh. They either should have shown the whole floor covered in bricks or just had them crushed by a pillar or something. Unlucky Lannisters

     

    - Grey Worm is ruthlessly devoted to Dany so I'm surprised he didn't kill Jon immediately, my only guess is that Jon confessed to his own men first maybe or a large group of them so Grey Worm chose not to murder Jon to stop his own people being killed straight up. A complete guess. Although with him killing Lannisters, that was on Dany's order rather than them following any 'rules'.

    Again AFAIK this is all speculation. Previous seasons wouldn't leave all this for speculation, we would have been shown this or somebody would have explained it because otherwise it doesn't really make sense, so not clarifying wtf Sam is doing outside of the Wall is sloppy writing.

     

    Whether it's made to be dramatic or not it's still sloppy writing because the two scenes don't match. If this was a rare continuity error it'd be easy to gloss over but it's not.

     

    Again, leaving important stuff like this to speculation is silly for a show that has explained so many seemingly unimportant things in the past that have proven to matter in the grand scheme of things. Finding out the aftermath of Jon murdering the queen is a ridiculous thing to skip when we had a 10 minute conversation between Jon and Tyrion earlier in the episode.

    - Jon telling Sansa & Arya off screen was just to save us of hearing the same old story for a third time in the space of a week :lol:

     

    - Euron knew Missandei was important to Dany because she was at the meeting at the Dragon Pitt. I imagine his #1 target was Grey Worm or Tyrion as higher up in her 'staff' but Missandei was easier to snatch.

     

    - The writers were stupid to say she "kind of forgot about the iron fleet". She could have just not been expecting an attack so soon, or she thought they'd get to Dragonstone in time, but no they said that which no one can defend tbh.

    Seeing how Sansa and Arya react is obviously important because it could have hinted at Sansa going back on her word. Same with Sansa telling Tyrion. But instead we just got a supercut of gossip spreading like wildfire which looked more like it belonged in 90210 than in Game of Thrones. We've had numerous things repeated many many times throughout the show and obviously a revelation like this is important. It's just so cheesy to have the "I have to tell you something" and then cutting away in a show like GOT.

     

    Again, leaving something like this for speculation is ridiculous. Just because she was at the meeting (along with so many other people) does not mean she's of important sentimental value. The Hound was there despite being of no importance to Dany. So were Brienne, Podrick, Theon, etc. Additionally Cersei seemed to know a lot about Missandei including the fact that she used to be a slave despite obviously none of this being revealed at the meeting in the Dragonpit.

     

    Yes, sloppy writing. Also why in the world did she split up her army to go to Dragonstone in the first place? Did she forget her phone there or something? Why didn't she travel with the rest of the army down the Kingsroad?

    - Dany's endgame has always been to take the Iron Throne through force really. She said it to the Dothraki right back in Season 1/2 and has said it countless more times since then. She locked away Rhaegal and Viserion because the dragons were getting too big to be allowed freeroam and were killing innocent children, she couldn't control them as teenage dragons so keeping them contained was an easier option. Jump to last week, she's lost everything and after seeing how easily King's Landing surrendered she realised that the people will never be loyal to her out of anything other than fear. A week after her taking the city another, larger army could rock up at the gates and the people would ring their bells and pledge loyalty to the invaders just so they don't die. She had enough of that and considered the people of the city an enemy to her just as much as Cersei. Twisted and sick but not out of character.

     

    - Realistically she would've had Unsullied searching for Cersei/Euron/The Mountain but stopped to give her big tyrant speech before that. It's also possible she just assumed they were dead as she knew Cersei and The Mountain were in the Red Keep when she destroyed it.

     

    - Varys betraying Dany didn't really go anywhere, no, but Varys (and Littlefinger tbh) had to die for the next reign to be any different from say King Roberts. Arya's time training to become a Faceless Man was all for her to avenge her mother and brother, which she did. Her 'prophecy' given by Melisandre was basically rejected by Arya who chose her own life over Cersei's death. f*** knows where Bran went when the Night King was coming for him. I would've loved for some clarity there but whatever, I guess he was looking into the future at him becoming King during that time which we could've see bc it'd spoil the finale :lol:

    Eh, I don't really buy that. Obviously this is never explained so this is just speculation yet again. If this was the reason she could have said it either in the speech to the Dothraki/Unsullied last ep or when justifying her actions to Jon but nope she did it just because she mad.

     

    Yet another important thing left for speculation. I also don't think Daenerys would just assume the people who killed her dragon and best friend were dead and just be satisfied with that. Especially since the Red Keep is still half-standing.

     

    Meh.

    - Bronn's arc ended in him choosing endless riches and a noble name over a bit less money and a bit less noble name. He was given Highgarden in exchange for Tyrions life and thus ending up as Bran's Master of Coin because he is head of the richest land in Westeros.

     

    - Idk if the horse really meant anything, if she'd had killed Dany it could have been argued that the horse was some kind of incarnation of the Lord of Light bringing Arya back to life from the rubble to fulfill her destiny and kill the Queen. But nah that didn't happen, I guess a horse just walked into the city.

     

    - The Night King ended up being a bit of a farce. A threat for sure but a Season 7 threat.

     

    - Davos and Arya have plot armour made from graphene but they're two of my favourite characters so I don't mind :P

    Him walking into Winterfell with a huge ass crossbow, managing to find Jaime and Tyrion coincidentally sitting together in an entirely empty bar is just hilariously bad comic book villain writing. What should have stopped them from letting guards or just anyone with a weapon know who he is and his allegiance right after he left the room? It made literally no sense and there was really no reason for Tyrion (and the Queen/King) to actually keep his promise to Bronn. Yes I know "Lannisters pay their debts" but lol he's the last living Lannister, who actually cares if he pays his debts to someone who tried to kill him?

     

    A horse with plot armor feels like it should mean anything. I guess it didn't mean anything but why show that scene then? Lmao.

     

    His war literally took one episode and he only killed about 50% of their armies (even though it was pretty obvious that at the end of E3 only about 5% was left alive but w/e) so idk he wasn't really a threat. He was killed with one dagger from someone who appeared out of nowhere managing to somehow get past the thousands of wights surrounding him. Not that big of a threat.

     

    GRRM once said that he doesn't like putting characters in impossible scenarios where plot armour matters. He either kills them or refrains from putting them in impossible scenarios. D&D should really listen to GRRM on this matter.

    The only reason why the Northerners didn't fight for Jon not being outlawed and becoming king is because that would have required another war and another season lol and it's just convenient for the writers to go "Bran is harmless lets make him king" and everyone being like "aight" despite knowing literally nothing about the kid other than Tyrion, the person on trial, sayin he has a GOOD STORY lmao wth. That's why Jon's lineage ultimately doesn't really matter because nobody seemed to actually care in the long run other than Dany. They were all willing to betray Dany for him but then once she's dead at his hands they're like "ok w/e f*** off to the non-existent Night's Watch Jon" and sure Dany losing it was aided by this information but the breaking point was very obviously losing Jorah, Missandei and Rhaegal, especially since she was still close to Jon after burning down King's Landing and trusted him enough to be betrayed when he stabbed her so it seems she was destined to lose it either way.

    The main problem with this season is that it's filled to the brim with inconsistencies which is not what this show has ever been known for. (and no I'm not just talking about coffee cups and water bottles). Characters seem to have forgotten a great deal of things this season.

     

    Some examples of why I hated this season include:

    - Tyrion saying that Bran being infertile is a good thing when he considered it a bad thing when Dany's infertility was discussed.

    - Yara laughing at the thought of a democracy in the seven kingdom when that's literally how they choose their kings & queens in the Iron Islands.

    - The Dothraki conveniently forgetting that whoever kills their Khal or Khaleesi becomes their new Khal or Khaleesi.

    - Bran knowing he'd become king also means he knew that Dany would go mad and murder a million people and did nothing to stop it.

    - Sam being in King's Landing despite never having been released of his vows to the Night's Watch means he technically should be executed but ok what are rules anyway.

    - Jaime and Cersei literally could have moved 5 feet to the left to survive the falling debris even though we were led to believe the entire building had collapsed as evidenced by this scene.

    - The Unsullied executed Lannister soldiers immediately despite surrendering, but followed due process and locked the person who killed their queen away for two weeks to await trial by a group of people including their friends and family.

    - So many important scenes being cut away for absolutely no reason other than convenience, like Jon telling Sansa & Arya of his lineage, how TF Euron managed to steal Missandei (and how TF he knew she was important), how Jon explained to Grey Worm and the Unsullied what happened between him and Dany, etc.

    - Dany forgetting the god damn iron fleet. And don't try to say that she was arrogant enough to think she could beat them or whatever, the writers literally said that she forgot about them.

    - Dany being ok with murdering millions of innocents while a few seasons back she locked away her dragons for killing even only one innocent child.

    - Dany not even once trying to kill Cersei in E5 despite her being the main reason why she went mad. In E6 we see she's not even found the body (and presumably hasn't even bothered to check since nothing points that way) as Tyrion is the one who (very easily) found it. Does she even care that Cersei is dead? Same for the people who killed Drogon (Euron) and Missandei (The Mountain). Neither of them were killed by her and she doesn't really seem to care which is odd. The thousands and thousands of innocents who did nothing to her however..

    - All of the storylines we were led to believe were important but ended up having literally zero impact on the show, such as: Jon's lineage, Varys sending out the info about Jon before being executed, Arya's face changing skills, Bran's warging thing during the Battle of Winterfell, Bronn's subplot, that damn horse that Arya met at the end of E5, the lord of light, the prince that was promised, THE GOD DAMN NIGHT KING

    - So many people having the thickest and most impenetrable plot armour ever built.

     

    I could easily go on and on. Safe to say this season was terrible and I will never be convinced otherwise. The fact that HBO offered D&D to make TEN SEASONS to wrap up the show and they refused is just infuriating. This wound up being like when you've been working on a project for a while but the deadline is coming up so you just try to wrap up everything in a hurry and accidentally forget everything you've written up until that point.

     

    I'm not pissed about the end result. I'm pissed about how we got there and how little sense it makes. If they had made it in the same convincing manner that the majority of the previous seasons have been I'd have been fine with Dany going mad and all of that shit but none of this made sense and like the video 365 posted on page 1 says: foreshadowing is NOT character development.

    Thank god. 'Amar Pelos Dois' is in my opinion by far the worst winning song in ESC history and Salvador Sobral is the least deserving winner in the history of the contest. Sure he's come around a bit but to insult the very people who voted for you, the contest that got you recognition and your competition after winning is just so descriptive of him. Such a douche.
