The only person that can legitimise anybody is a king/queen or the owner of the name.

Ergo Ramsay legitimised by daddy Bolton, and Gendry by Danaerys.

No other person can legitimise you.

Small girl Mormont acknowledges this fact by pointing out that she knows he's a bastard, but she's chooses to ignore it.

she cannot say Jon Snow - you are now Jon Stark....and she didn't, because it doesn't work that way

Granted. I hope you saw season 5 when Stannis Baratheon offered to name him Jon Stark, Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North while Jon turned him down just because Jon assisted him in retaking the North? Jon refused for certain reasons but not like that was important though but that Stark name wasn't important in naming Jon King in the North? Haba, which House was he affiliated with? Are we saying anyone can just do some herioc stuff and then end up becoming the King in that terrain if he has no historical ties?

Recall that prior to when Jon was named King in the North, the North was on its own; without a king head. The other Houses came together to pass a vote of confidence on Jon, which was enough or the equivalent of a King's decree.

mandysmum:
Who else noticed the change in Jon's hairdo? After being sentenced to the Wall,his hairstyle reverted to the old Jon Snow's free curls. He abandoned the Ned Stark's hairdo,free from duties and family ties,just as in the beginning of the show. Arya kept Ned's hairdo,together with the sigil of House Stark. She will always be Arya Stark, anywhere and everywhere. Sansa looked every inch as cold and regal as Catelyn Tully. The Stark kids came full circle.

This post is everything
Thank you
The deep joy on their three faces (despite the guilt, travel-itch and power-buzz respectively) made the series ending okay for me

That wildling girl was John’s true love, never Daenerys
Daenerys staying alive and loving John and queening would have upset me I swear. She always made my skin crawl
So I got my series happy ending
The only thing for a more perfect ending for me would have been the dragon fire-suiciding itself
And John choosing to go to the Wall, the wolf and the wildlings instead. He always loved those. And Arya not being final about her westward journey. But John and Arya have always been loners

Well nobody was ever gonna do this end for me-Daenerys dead, John ruling and all his family and friends happy and playing in the sun.

But hey, so long as Daenerys died, I will take the ending like this
For me? Arya represents true healthy feminism more than Sansa or Daenerys ever could.

I am ashamed I am talking about an oyibo series like this, as always
All the emotional and intellectual investments Africans made (make) on the show and other ones? Can start a revolution eg dismantling the Legislature

He has already been chosen before Sansa declared sovereignty from KL, And moreover Bran isn't a Stark anymore, he's the 3ER.


Thus from henceforth, the succession plan to appoint a new Kong won't be by blood, but by the lords of the Noble houses

Wrong. Long before Bran was made king had Sansa made it known that the North would not bend the knee. Dany and Sansa's conversation reveals this. What happened during the Lords of Westeros meeting was a re-echo of the North's stance. Bran being the king of a unified Westeros should have been withdrawn there and then but they did not. It doesn't just make sense that a seceded country produces the king in the country it seceded from.

It is unrealistic in real life.

Watching Drogon in pain is more heartbreaking than watching Sansa showing off her smirks while been crowned Queen in the North.



My watch has ended here on this thread....

Arya healthy feminism

So cooking someone's sons and feeding the father is ok in ur eyes


Somtin dey worry u but nobody is there to tell you

Buharifanatic:
what is this 1 saying


He is not from the north then where is he from

Forget all these nonsense bran is from the north and the end of the show was stupid

oga brann is now the three eye raven
and has continously said he is not brann stark but the three eyed raven

not saying the end of the show made sense anyway

Jon Snow was never legitimised which is why he was never known as Jon Stark.

His children would not have been starks either. The stark line would have been sidelined for the Snows as the hegemons of the north.

King in the north had nothing to do with the stark name, otherwise they would have given it to Sansa from time. Instead, Jon is named king in the north by the notherners, and then warden of the north by Danaerys....all while Lady Sansa STARK was there twiddling her thumbs

For me GOT ended when Arya killed the Knight king.
Stupid ending for a great show.

chiboy1116:
who dem for give ? Bran is king , Arya doesn't want to rule , and Jon isn't around , the Stark house is the greatest house in the north . Unless there's another stark I didn't mention .

I mean i wasn't cool with the north being independent and her being queen.

I am okay with being The lady of winterfell.

How about Nymeria d direwolf, I mean what’s the point of bringing her up in season 7 and killed her off again.

I think you still miss the point. Anyways, it wouldn't have made sense carrying the name of Stark if he were to father children because he is not Ned's offspring and the purpose of masking under that name long faded.

Nobody's talking about how arya suddenly changed careers from badass assassin to being a pirate

IamD18:
A lady will never make once she start prioritizing preeeeeq.

Look at Danny.

She went mad and burnt innocent people of KL all because Jon refused her his preeeeeeq.

She also died while thinking Jon was about to give her preeeeeeq.

Be responsible and decent like Sansa, don't be a preeeq and throne obsessed Danny.

Exactly my beef with her .Most times in life we allow our passion for the opposite sex ruin our ambitions and thinking. One can lose focus in life due to feelings for the opposite sex. Leave man focus on the iron throne u sayvsau must Bleep.See the outcome of it now.

timay:
The thing is that you can't blame the writers of the show though.
The show became too expensive to produce, with the actors being massive stars now, the network couldn't afford them anymore... One million per actor!

So they had to rush it, which makes bad writing and mistakes inevitable.


If the show was extended than usual, the Network, might not meet their expected profit, due to the high cost of the show.

So let's all give them a break, they didn't do a bad job

Actually HBO was willing to give them more seasons, but D & D said season 8 was enough.

GOT
Season 8 villain be like
NK::: I am the villain of this bitch
cersie::: hold my baby
Dany::: hold my dragon
Bran:::

Everyone just went sour

In reality do you think any one gives a fvck what Bryan is now. He has to have come from somewhere and that place is the north.
It doesn't matter if Sansa asked later, they'd have told her it's simply not possible. If they get their independence then Bryan can't be king anymore. It's simple..

You initially supported her when I once asked if it was a must to fvck Jon, now you don dey yarn against her.

Hanty Joy, biko tell me, Are you for us or against us?

The wackest episode of the wackest season. For those that haven't watched season 8 please don't bother... they'll spoil the whole show for you. If this was reality, I'll kill Bran myself... Nobody deserve that throne more than Dany not even Jon

melodyogonna:
Guys please sign the petition let's make them know the series ended awfully.

Ur waisting ur fucking time... Jon and Dany have moved on uve got better things to think about

whats the point of jons parentage?

whats the point of jon coming back to life?

whats the point of sansa being queen?

whats the point of dany dying?

whats point of episode 6, left for me the show ended at episode 5, if i watch it again, thats where i would stop


and they shld forget that stupid spin off, nobody go watch am

ENGBOS:
But wait o who rebuild the wall
Why did Drogon destroy the iron throne
But what is in the west I believe it's another tv series for arya's future

1. The wall wasn't totally destroyed in the first place, only a portion of it was.

2. Drogon vex say "If my mama no sit for this Werey throne, no one else will"

3. Arya wants to find her place in an unknown world, to think of it, if she chooses to stay at Winterfell, y'all will still say "She's no one, why would sha wanna stay with Sansa and not kuku marry Gendry" I believe everyone got what they deserve, even Jon.

it's bn grt being on dis thread all dis yrs..I'm grateful for all pple I met here..ur explanations n insights av all helped me to truly understand the show..

Thank Airtel for making it possible 4 me to download each episode promptly n avoid all doz zombies dt seem to love dropping spoilers....

No thanks to D & D for such an underwhelming termination of (as I still maintain)the greatest tv show eva..No beef with d BB crew...

Was fun exchanging ideas wit y'all..

Wish y'all d best in it endeavours ...

Jhymedex...

Signing out...

I thought Brienne had a pivotal role to play in Jamie's life after he knighted and fvcked(deflowered) her in one night. Little did I know I was shown what a one knight stand is all about.

Olamyyde:

Pirate or the ruler of 'what's west of westeros'?

But Sansa is an e-diot.

That part where she told her uncle to sit down still looks very funny.

Well the Game of thrones has ended and while numerous negative reviews are flowing online.
This is what i can say about the Game of thrones.

while it is fair to criticize the makers, i will chill and wait till 2020 and see why they ended the series this way, but one thing i believe is that, there are more to the story than what we just witnessed.

Could it be there is a spinoff to the series?

This is exactly not the last of drogo or Arya or sansa or bran the new king, i believe they wanted a diffrent name for the spinoff, so they had to end the game of thrones.

So we better chill and wait for what HBO has to offer in a year or two years time, but i am 100 percent certain that there is a spinoff of the series.

And it might even suprise viewers that Danny did not even die, because where was the dragon taking her to?

well we all need to chill and wait for the spinoffs of the game of thrones.

This is not the end of Arya or drogo or the unsullied armies or bran or sansa, there are more to come.

THIS IS NOT THE END.

when bran replied to tyrion with "why do you think i came all this Way" i realized that he possibly manipulated his way to the throne. Think about it if he didn't tell Sam that Jon was aegon, things would have ended differently.
