Hoo

I watched only half of the episode and tuned out. Will not ever watch the ending, nor do I care. Whoever decided that the last episode is not about going out with a bang is an idiot. I did not need to be served an exceptional dose of Tyrion's blabbering and persuasive abilities in the final episode, nor to see a halfassed internal strife of that idiot Jon Snow, nor Grey Worm negotiating with some irrelevant council. This episode was aggressively irritating and dumb, and has completely failed to deliver. It has actually destroyed the show. A solid F.

I don't. Ned told a lie to his wife to protect a child. Jon would never do that. Jon is an idiot.

They don't need to pack anything into the last episode. King's Landing is destroyed. The throne is Dany's. It's over. The show can wind down. Except that the Starks may have different plans. That's the suspense.

Awesome episode! We have been waiting for this since Ned got beheaded, 8 years, Finally! And it was best of television ever. I'm bummed Tyrion and the Starks survived. I guess, Tyrion had to live to see his deeds. And the Starks are still alive because with one episode left we are down to the final two houses. Championship Sunday next week!! Team Dany!

I don't think so. I don't think the Night King caused the winter.

Lots of food on the ground for the remaining dragon.

In the end it was a love story, from a weird perspective. Problem is we did not know that. They won't get me to watch the next one. It was an incomplete love story, and it was a mess. Some people will say it was ingenious,, the acting was great, the love story is really subtle. I don't care, it's fraudulent. That's the problem and it did not deliver as a detective story or the love story. Waste of time. In the end it was a love story, from a weird perspective. Problem is we did not know that.

No, because Hays told West to go rough up James in order to get to the boss man. That is where the investigation was headed. And after killing James, Hays met with the boss man. They knew the investigation led to the Hoyt estate. That's where the Ep7 ended. Hoyt is dead, James is dead, they will not bring them to justice, parents are dead, the girl is alive, they will not bring the girl to parents. The case is therefore closed, there is justice. However, they are continuing their investigation. The question is why? There are no other disapperances after 1990 or after Hoyt's death that keeps pushing Hays to investigate. The problem is we do not know why they are continuing. In S1 we knew at the end of Ep7 why they would continue, because there were murders along the coast. They knew they did not get the killer. In S3 we do not know why they are going on about it. We may find out in Ep8, but that is too late. It's not good enough to leave the viewer to speculate that Hoyt gave Hays indication that others were involved and not him, Hoyt, so Hays is pushed to continue the investigation. To say that there is reason to believe there is more to this case because they are continuing is not good enough, it's circular conclusion. There has to be a firm reason to continue the investigation. Then Elisa plainly invited Hayes to help her investigate some larger child trafficking ring, and he refused. It's not about that to him. That is not the reason to continue. He wants to go after June Watts. How does he know in 2015 that Hoyt is not the guy when in 1990 he did not know? How does he know that he should continue, and for what purpose? We are not told that. We are not told what the reason for this continued investigation is.

The main issue of S03 is that they practically solved the case by the end of Ep7. Going into the final Ep8, we do not know what keeps Wayne Hays going after this investigation in 2015. That was not the case in S01, we knew that the case was not solved and murders kept occurring along the Louisiana coast, and that is what drove Rust and Marty to keep digging. Here, in S03, we have no idea what keeps Hays after this case in 2015. The child is alive, there is no need to bring her home, there are no additional murders, Hoyt kinda took responsibility, child was in his home. Hoyt is dead, parents are dead. What is the purpose of investigation in 2015? We do not know. This is the problem with the script! This is why S1 is better than S3. So the best we can say is that Hays knows something that the audience does not, or is simply going on sixth sense, that keeps him digging for solution, to something. We do not even know what he is after. Whether it is a grown Julie Purcells, or Lucy's and Dan's murderer, or whether he is simply after information to write the second book in honor of his wife. We do not know, and that is the problem with the script. Why are we in Ep8? Now, just like in Ep8 of S01, there will be a breakthrough in the case, a green-house clue, that solves it all, even though we do not know what we are solving other than filling extraneous pieces of info, and in spite of the previous three episodes telling us that the case is practically solved it will be solved again, but differently. Almost as if the past three episodes were a waste of time. It's weird. And we do not know what kept them going to discover that last breakthrough clue unlike in S01.

What will episode 8 answer? I'm not sure I understand what Wayne is seeking in 2015. I understand he wants to find the girl, but he knows she is alive. The question is why seek and find her? What is he after? Is this about detective's sixth sense that there is more to the case than a custodianship battle between the Hoyts and the Purcells, like some mafia child trafficking? OR is he after some revenge on Roland? What will bring him the peace of mind? I still do not understand what episode 8 and Wayne's quest in 2015 is about.

Black man and a white woman in a fancy car could be related to Amelia, no? Let's say Amelia and Lucy are sisters. Lucy never knew her mom. "Children should laugh: was on the note and a shared thought between Lusy and Amelia. Amelia's book is important. Amelia was part of the case investigation, always close to it.
