Love how her dothraki and unsullied slowly respawned more and more each episode after the battle of winterfell to the point were she pretty much had her entire army back. The level of writing that went into S8 ladies and gentlemen.

Out of everyone who sat on the throne in the show who would have guessed that Robert would have turned out to be the best King/Queen

It's amazing how she and Tyrion switched positions without moving.

This feels like an alternate universe parody the more time passes.

Honestly, i feel bad for the actors. They acted the hell out of every scene, they did what they could, with what they had. They spent years, pouring life into these characters. This scene is stupid, as far as writing goes, but the acting is intense. Imagine what this show could have been, with writers who loved the characters as much as George RR Martin did.

The script was bullshit but you gotta admit the acting and soundtrack is amazing.

They spend 8 seasons endlessly selling us on this idea that she's a genuinely good person only to have her go nuts in the last 3 episodes of the stupid series. Man what a farce this show became.

Just me or did the Unsullied army seem to grow larger after each battle?

the way her look changes when looking Jon after he watches Tyrion leaves. Jon should have known when seeing that look that she wouldnt have allowed him to stay alive for long.

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine. Your kind cling to your flesh as if it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call a temple will wither and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved. For the Machine is Immortal.

Ah yes, when she loses her mind in the space of 3 episodes. Less time than it takes them to travel from city to city mind you.

Tyrion knew he backed the wrong horse when she burned Varys. Rewatched the whole series it for 2nd time last week. He was one of the best characters in the whole series .

After arresting Tyrion, Deneres made a long eye contact with Jon, probably for affirmation of her action, but clearly detected disapproval. And she walked off arrogantly past him--she didn't see how well-meaning and wise were Varis, Tyrion, and Jon. "Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely".

Tyrions look towards John says it all “This beautiful bitch has got to go Avenge me snow!! “😂😂

Despite the subpar writing, Emilia and Peter were superb. The emotions behind the words told the story.

The way she looked at Tyrion is amazing and proved how good actress she is. The look has a sequence of feelings spoken by eyes without any word. Shock, break after losing someone precious, feeling lost and bare without shield, then finally holding back herself together and act strong. These are all after each other without any word. Hat off!

Really well acted by Emilia, the sadness in her eyes before - in her view - „having to arrest the traitor“, not just a pretty face. Kit, however, well, doing his Kit thing.

The moment Jon Snow realised, that the smallest man in Westeros has the biggest balls.

Although season 8 was dreadful there are some parts that shine through like this one. Tyrion showing he has the biggest balls which turns Daenerys's victory bitter. You can see it in her eyes that she recognizes the disappointment in Tyrion's words. At that moment Jon also finally started to grow a spine again.

I would have loved to see some of the Unsullied desert her after realizing she is just as bad as their former masters, perhaps worse. It would have hurt Daenerys more to realize that the soldiers who followed her to hell and back faithfully and loyally were starting to have second doubts about their devotion to her.

For me - there's an interesting dynamic of respect in this scene. Yes, Tyrion committed treason, and he's being arrested. But in someway, because of his years of service, and his previous office, he at least gets to walk of the scene independently. He's not assaulted, or even manhandled away. He knows the moment he loses his freedom, but he gets to retain his dignity, at least for a bit, and frankly, from a position of authority, I imagine that's the best "goodbye" you can give a traitor and/or threat to your power. It makes me think of the Roman general Corbulo's command for suicide by falling on his own sword. A certain fate, but offered with a degree of dignity that might not be offered to the average soldier.

Emilia Clark’s acting is spot on in this scene and powerful the entire series. I don’t understand how she was so fantastic in this and very meh in Solo and most of her other projects.

You see this scene is actually extremly well written. When Tyrion resigns as Hand of the Queen it hints on the resign of quality in season 8.

Just hear me out. Jon Snow is just as responsible as Dany for the destination of king's landing. His weak short sighted nature allowed Dany to seize his birthright. *Yes we know she has Drogon..but the seven kingdoms would've backed him.

I find it interesting how Dany kept changing colours. At the start, she's a pure, but weak and used innocent girl, so a stained white. Then she changes colours, and is blue, a colour well liked by people and often used for freedom, when she's freeing slaves and overthrowing the masters. She's pure white then later, when she's freeing people and showing benevolence and kindness, when people like Tyrion are joining her because they see a actually good queen in their view. When she gets to Westeros, she's gone for a darker clothes look, showing she's not the same as in Essos, here she's coming with a army to invade, conquer, and here she has many enemies who she wants gone, like Cersei.She starts showing a much darker side, willingly using fire and blood to get her way, using Drogon to bully people into following her, accepting Ellaria's aid even though she killed a innocent child and had her lovers brother and nephew murdered, showing she was losing her morals in pursuit of the throne. When Jon comes, she starts acting more like her pre dragonstone self, even going north of the wall to save him showing real selflesness and bravery, and accepts to aid him without him bending the knee first( he did so after she agreed she would help him against the others).So she comes then to the North as a ally, having come to help with good intentions, so appears in snowy white, but then we see her darker side coming back when faced with the fact the North doesn't like her that much. But then after the battle at winterfell, she reverts to very dark colours, and once Missandei dies her clothes stay dark, and when Tyrion sees her there, clad in pure black clothes, queen of the ashes, over a city she ruthlessly and unecessarily as they surrendered before she attacked burned to the ground, with a army of black clad spear men, he realises she's not Dany, she's become the mad kings golden daughter.You notice through the seasons when her clothes darken her advisors become more and more nervous and unnerved with her, especially in Dragonstone where you can tell they worry she's going to think of the cities like Mereen or Astapor, that brute force is the only way to go.When she burns Varys, Jon and Tyrion are both shocked and begin to realise just how bad it is, because she's doing just like the mad king. When Tyrion looks at her on the steps, he is heartbroken that the person who seemed so good, so better then Cersei, who wanted advisors and would listen to them most of the times, who wanted to be better then her legacy, has become just like every other bad targaryen ruler, a tyrant who listens to none and does whatever they want, only believing in fire and blood to be the way.

Y'all acting like she wasn't going mad from the beginning are fooling yourself. Rewatching just shows it more.

"It was at that moment, he knew...she f&*%# up"

It’s sad how quickly this show went downhill Just going back and watching up to season 6 Then 7 and 8 we’re just a downward spiral

He should have called her the mad queen as his last words.

Few episodes before "youre not different, youre just more of the same" End episode "like father, like daughter, end in the hands of its loyal subjects"

The moment that Jon realizes he must kill his Queen. Awesome scene.

Honestly the best thing Tyrion did as her hand was resigning, I can’t think of a single benefit Tyrion’s council had given her not one. Not even a minor one, are there any? Every action he took (intentional or otherwise) was to Danny’s detriment

There was literally no reason for her to burn the city, she could’ve burned the red keep only to kill Cersei and every Lanister servant and everyone would’ve been happy about it, but no, they had to ruin her and ruin the show.

Beauty and possibly one of the finest actors I've seen on screen. This guy made you watch it excellent character and played so so well 👏 😎🤟

I feel sorry for Tyrion. The trouble being loyalty to a cause is that the cause will always betray you.

I give the actors credit, how they were able to act for any of this was amazing.

It’s kinda like animal farm… you become the thing you most hated.

Only just noticed that Tyrion walks out of the ruined city he is on Dany's left, but all the shots after he throws the badge away he's standing on her right.

I don't know if we'll ever see a show implode like GoT again.

This where John realizes tyrion's got balls bigger than his.....

I cant believe no one has mencioned this! If you look closely, at first he is on her left and on the next scene he just appears on her right like my man just teleported....

I love the music here. It's so...sinister. The music is one of the few redeeming qualities of this final season

She was all kinds of crazy just waiting to happen.

Her sense of justice, If you don't want to ended in ashes is better agree with me. So sad, she had almost everything to be a great queen.

Unsullied stopped hitting thier lances on the ground the moment tyrion threw his badge. He really held some power till this point

"I will take what is mine with fire and blood" >Takes it with fire and blood "Wait ...😮"

Only just noticed her cloak changes shoulders. It starts off over her left shoulder before moving to the right shoulder.

You do remember this is the same town people that laughed and cheered during Starks execution. That put aside, she was fueled by anger and grief. She lost Jorah and then her best friend... who commanded them to burn. I would've done the same

'Guards! Take him away! And when I'm dead, release him for no reason and let him choose the next King.'

We all sort of forgot about the prince who was promised!

And then the treacherer gets to nominate a king Very nice and logical

Wasn’t she freeing slaves? Remember when she told Jorah they had 200,000 reasons to take Yunkai? I’ll always remember THAT Dany 🥹

Tragic can be used for the ending of this series. These writers had perhaps the best all time collection of actors that has ever been assembled for such a huge series as GOT, and they were not in their class. In my opinion, it feel off the rails as soon as they took it over.

Lol, the bells

Absolute power corrupts absolutely

True and utter chills this gives me, tyrion was right in his choice, but khaleesi who I stood by since episode one, and touched inopropitly by her brother to go mad queen makes me want to cry and scream at the show in frustration. Long live Tyrion.❤️

I started Game of Thrones in January & I just finished the series a few weeks ago! I loved it & didn't think season 8 was that bad. It had it's fault but I didn't hate it

Grey worm should have never left Jon Snow alone with her in hostile territory

Wish she got her Emmy for this

I really don’t see the books ending like this. I mean the books are clearly about Fantasy and the series inclines more for the drama like a telenovela. The only thing from the series that I really think its going to happen also in the books is the Starks winning I think thats kinda obvious since they are the protagonist.

The best at completing something is he who began it. If RR Martin wrote this season it would have been a masterpiece

that look at the end.. Jon knew he had to end her.

Tyrion's advices lead Daenerys forces into ambush many times. And Daenerys actually suspected that he might not be just an idiot, but a traitor and Cersei's spy. This could also explain why she was triggered by the sound of bells for she believed the surrender was a trick by Tyrion conspiring with Cersei.Especially if Dany had received a message from her unsullied that Tyrion freed Jaime and they both supposedly defected to Cersei exactly the moment when she was about to fly to battle.And she actually heard a voice from the city:"Queen we are surrounded! Queen help us!", which could be misunderstood for a distress signal from her own troops. So she decided to bombard area ahead her troops to protect them from whatever trap could be. This caused explosions of Aerys's wildfire which she recognized as if it was wildfire trap indeed (pseudo wildfire trap theory). And she would genuinly believe that she indeed liberated the city from a tyrant destroying it with wildfire. Then Daenerys arrests Tyrion for espionage "staring at him with anger, disgusted that she trusted him so deeply for so long" according to the script. Ironically Daenerys slaughtered a city only because Tyrion freed his brother. Just like invasion of White Walkers happened only because Tyrion wanted to use the White Walkers as a case for parley with Cersei! Daenerys was never mad! Drogon took Daenerys body east towards Volantis. Towards nearest red priestess. Daenerys is resurrected by a red priestess. First she learns how to fight with a sword. Tyrion Lannister and Jon Snow will die by her hand! Revenge and Justice! Kill Bill Targaryen style.

Comrade Stalin would be proud.

“I accept your resignation and I am not going to kill you even though my blood and fire wrath is up with the ashes of this city. We must torment you with due process and a trial.” Tyrion- “D’ohhhhhhhh”

Im addicted to watch this series but it's coming in Hotstar now🥺

I wasn't evil. I was just ahead of the curve.

How did he end up on her right side,he confronted her on the left side

Instead of leaving to atleast try to find safety somewhere, he walked back to tell fantasy hitler he committed treason. It's amazing people defend this season.

Throughout the show, you only see the superficial signs of temporal anger. A child with dragons that tries to manage her emotions and leader qualities for 8 seasons. In the book, she starts age 13. Saying in season 2 she'll burn Qarth to the ground and in her last speech adding it to her list creates a very funny headcanon of always having at her back of the mind, that when her dragons will grow and she starts her killing spree, she'll pay them a visit. That is funny at best. They didn't put the work. The theme of her not having enough bloodshed after so much loss sounds like a good idea, but it would fit any other Targaryen but not her. Methodically killing every line of houses for hours didn't seem like a possible outcome from the woman who gave water to the dying crucified man or watching "every single one of them" child's faces until Meereen. If they wanted to be realistically cliché (something that inevitably happend at the end), due to her power hungry "madness" she would have burned Winterfel the moment she could see Sansa was playing the game and refused to kneel. She wasn't going to keep a notebook of beloved main characters D and D and the people liked, with the name: List of people I'll kill earlier: Sansa. Tyrion. Jon if he continues to act that way. Ps. Varys died from spoiling the end of the show when even she had no idea of what she wanted to do. He saw the stars and decided that the man who died one season after being a Commander (just like Ned died after one season of politics) would hold himself fine as a King.

Was that Snow's queen? I keep forgetting.

I feel that she was always this person, the signs were there all along. Season 8 just gave life to her true nature, it was always going to end like this. I doubt the ending in the books (once finished) will be too much different.

0:18 looks at Tyrion, then her head spins faster than the eye can see

Let's remember that it didn't have to be like this. But this is what we got.

Damn this man can’t catch a break

The people who say she lost her mind the last 3 episodes ignore the cruelty she inflicted on various people from early on. She had men burned alive for refusing to kneel to her. She crucified or burned many people in lots of places. Nothing honorable or good about her, just a tyrant from early on. Anyone who announces themselves with 6 titles is obviously full of themselves.

Me thinks G R R Martin is disheartened by the reception of the ending, and is either stalling the book or he is hoping he passes before having to finish it, because he did tell D&D the end, just not how he got there. I feel people are angry at the ending, and people will be angry at george when it is confirmed. It was the condensing of the plot that killed the series, they needed to set up this 'love story over a season and half, maybe 2, not bodge it in two episodes. Didn't buy it one bit, so Jon becoming a simp and dense because of 'his quweeeen' in about 3 episode arc, and turning a blind eye was completely out of character. it would have been better if they had established him manipulating, or faking it.

I always thought he should've said... "Now you shall join your father, now your the Mad Queen."

Season 8 was like if a 5 year old wrote the ending to the show

I understand the way Tyrion feels right now, he warned her to not take the short path of fire and blood for all that time when he was her hand, all for her to ignore it on a whim out of anger and burn a city to ash and melt parts if the red keep. The level of betrayal he must feel must be painful.

Sometimes i think it is better to have a shit ending. As life is unfair. 👏

There's literally just as many Unsullied in this scene as there were when she bought them lol. Apparently every single soldier has died and come back to life at least three times.

That look she gives jon, she really became terrifying at the end. He would only be allowed to live as long as he did as his told basically. Dany wouldn't hesitate to do same to Jon as she did to many, burn him.

I don't understand why everyone hates this ending so bad. She massacred every foe to date, including burning people locked in a building. Her best friend was murdered right in front of her. Her surrogate father died fighting zombies or whatever. Her entire motive for living was just upended when she found out the man she loves is the rightful heir to the throne. She knows she will probably have to execute that man's sister for treason. Two of her dragons are dead, which she thinks of as her children. And she's the product of a father and mother who were brother and sister- clearly one step from madness her entire life. This is exactly how it had to end. It sucks that Jon had to leave, and king Bran is truly stupid, though I have a feeling that will be rectified in the new Jon Snow series. I re-watched the season four times now and it makes total sense- after about the third time around....

Oh, now he wants to resign from his position⁉️ After he already f*cked up everything for Daenerys and her allies⁉️ HIS plan for taking KL would've been far worse on the smallfolk, and judging by what KL looked like in the ending of the show... she didn't do much harm

In fairness, that city was a cesspool that needed cleansing, it was probably for the best! 🤣

Series handled her transformation into a tyrannical psychopath so badly. Someone was rushing to the next pay check

"best season ever" -Emlia Clarke with an awkward smile

What a spectacular ending! Really subverted my expectations! I love that!

The truth is Tyrion should have put her down when varys suggested it. Think about it he would have claimed the title his brother had as king Slayer. He would have saved his friends life. His brother's life his sister's life they're unborn baby's life. And saved Jon Snow from taking one for the team. He would have ruled after her and been merciful to Jamie and Cersei. Tyrion would have more unlikely been a part of the Night's Watch for executing his Queen. He failed to do with his brother had to do.

In the end her lust for power like every great ruler destroyed her.

Her wig had turned to an ash tint. It was a show on Tragedy: one of its latter components was his utter dim-wittedness as military strategist. Thanks, and subbed.

I was watching this video and then my neighbour came and we watched it together. He said that this video changed his life and touched his heart. Then I went and rented a projector in a big field and my entire town watched it and it changed their lives too. We all are so grateful. Thank You for this video….

Even KIt Harington knew he had no agency in this scene, look at his face. The performance that we got was in the moment, disappointed, bored, out of it, and his character irrelevant. So both the character and the actor knew the only saving grace would be to kill her.

Every ruler is same.They are good till they got power.

I like how this unsullied and dothraki army is larger in size than whitewalker army at its peak

It’s staggering how many people missed the social commentary of the ending. This isn’t a “descent into madness” It’s a human being doing what humans beings do in positions of power.

She was always supposed to be the villain that’s not the issue, it’s the execution.

This scene shows rather subtly, how Tyrion doesn't want to be Danys Hand anymore because he is against the destruction of a whole city and the massmurder of innocents. Bravo, Vince! 🤣

In the words of King Theodan : "How did it come to this?"
