Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 6, the final episode, gets a full in-depth analysis of the deeper themes and parallels with The Lord of the Rings. Why did Bran become king, and was that part of his plan all along? Why was the Iron Throne destroyed? Erik Voss explains the Game of Thrones ending, and how it connects to the longtime thematic threads throughout the 8 seasons. How is Dany's villainy inspired by real-world leaders? Where is Jon going in the final shot of the series? What is "west of Westeros" and why is Arya going there? How is the Iron Throne like the Ring of Power, and is Jon Snow Frodo Baggins?

Could also go a step further in the azor ahai prophecy. Similarly to tempering his blade in water, then the heart of a lion before killing nissa nissa, Jons combined forces defeated Ice(water) and Cersei (lion) before having to kill Dany (nissa nissa) to defeat the darkness. 3 attempts for each azor ahai.

A dwarf walked into a brothel with a honeycomb and a jackass. The matron inquired and the dwarf said he would trade the jackass for a night with a whore. The matron agrees. The dwarf then said he would trade the honeycomb for some food. The matron asked, why not just eat the honeycomb? The dwarf said, the same reason I wanted to trade the jackass for a night with a whore. I'm tired of eating honeycomb every night.

When Tyrion finds Jamie and Cersei, he picks up a brick and bangs it on the rubble over and over again. It reminds me of the story of his cousin that would smash beetles. Tyrion could never understand the reason for his cousin's senseless destruction.... kind of like how he can't understand Danny's senseless destruction of the city.

The joke about Tyrion not being in ASOIAF was so meta. Tyrion is George’s favorite character to write. He has more POV chapters than any other character. It’s another hint to take everything the Maesters say with a grain of salt.

Also several times it was mentioned that the histories are not always written accurately whether by winners omitting info or it being lost in translation., and we see this Maester may have just short changed the true account of what happened. I guess we never really know if it is best to have some history left untold.hmm.

I agree, but not once in the whole series they showed or said that dragons are much intelligent than a dog. That comes from the books. So the timing of them showing that deep comprehension of the matter coming from a dragon in the last episode… it’s just bad writing.

nope. anyone could have got past Drogon and approached Dani who bothered to befriend the dragons. Tyrion made friends with them in Essos. And i'm sure Greyworm could have ran up and down all day in front of the dragon. Blood was NOT necessary. When Jon befriended them, his blood admittedly made it easier, but it was not necessary considering how much time he spent with them and the Queen. Jon being Targaryn was actually pointless.

One small detail I noticed that I never did before is that they've told us since season 1 who would win the Game of Thrones! On the season 1 poster of Ned sitting on the iron throne with Ice, there is a raven sitting to his right side (left side of the picture) symbolizing the winner as Bran or the three eyed raven.
