The comparison to Lawrence of Arabia makes me understand it better now. The Bells was her "NO PRISONERS!!" moment. The difference though is Lawrence didn't have dragons and he was also effectively dealt with by the leaders of the victorious countries at the end of the war who put him out to pasture.

New character posters:

I think if Dany hadn't made that speech and had just been satisfied with defeating Cersei and now ruling Westeros Jon wouldn't have decided to kill her. It wasn't enough though and she had to go for "world domination". It was her lust for more conquering that was her undoing. As Bronn said "Kill a thousand they make you a king" Lots of rulers have bloody pasts but are remembered for their benevolence like Odin in Thor Ragnarok but she wanted to keep going like Hela. Jon killing her wasn't punishment for King's Landing it was preventing more death. It's like after Hiroshima and Nagasaki, instead of peace the US went "Now it's your turn Russia! And you Germany, even though Hitler's dead and all you countries in Europe and Asia who want to mess with us are going to get nuked!

The Normies are one of my favorite YouTube reactors and they made this great "Inside the Episode" spoof with two of their members playing Benioff and Weiss. One of them(Suraj) does a dead on Benioff impression!:

It's funny but I was disappointed by the LOST finale for the same reason I liked the Game of Thrones finale. Yes I liked all the characters on LOST but I was also interested in the mystery of the island. Not to the degree as die hard fans who theorized over every clue but I was intrigued and wanted to know WTF was going on. Sure it was nice seeing the characters we watched together but I wanted answers. Whereas in GoT I wasn't THAT invested in the Night King and the prophesies. TNK was interesting as a looming threat but once he was eliminated I was ready to move on. The episode "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" made me realize that I primarily love this show and watch it because of the different characters, so I was glad to see most of them survive to the end and moving on to their new lives.

Me last week: "Dany turned evil! Oh no, this is terrible! I'm so bummed out!" Me this Week: "Dammit I wish we got to see more 'Dark Dany'! She was awesome!"
