Ignore the Beyoncé thing, it’s literally a paragraph opening the interview. Actually a really good interview allowing Clarke to break down her character and what some things meant.
Also, small sentence in the end but she says the spinoff has nothing to do with any of the current cast.

Yes. I read you complain that she only got to use her sneaky assassin skills once. I pointed out that she got lots of kills.
Regardless, Arya racked up quite the impressive kill list over the years. I feel like she got her due on kills. But I do think they did not know how to wrap up her character at the end and that’s a legitimate gripe.

Sansa’s Uncle Edmure Tully, robin arryn, One of the guys reminded me of the blackfish but I’m pretty sure he is dead. and the guy that was leading the Arryn army up north to fight Ramsey.
Blackfish is dead right? Yeah I remember one random dude in there too.
I give the ending a B-. It could have been worse for sure. I don't have much else to say and dont really want to discuss it. I think that says a lot in itself. Goes out with a shoulder shrug and solid "meh" for me.
I didn't hate it. Didn't love it. It was fine.
Sidenote...did anyone else watch the trailer before it started and thought 'what is this, this looks pretty good...' and then 'Westworld' showed on the screen and you said 'WHAT THE ****!?'

"When 8, people know it's no longer a secret, it's information."
Why didn't someone ask, "Hey, what about Aegon? The lawful ruler?" In the trial?
This is where I'm at. The episode had some really good moments (Jon killing Dany/Drogon's reaction, Tyrion finding Jaime and Cersei, Tyrion talking with Jon as a prisoner, Dany's speech, Brienne's entry in the Book of Brothers). But the second half of the episode mostly left me with no reaction at all.
I did like the discussion around Tyrion not being written in to the story.
I mean, it was funny (mostly because of Dinklage's performance), but it strains credulity. He was put on trial for murdering Joffrey (and it's not clear how many people know he didn't actually do it) and he did kill Tywin Lannister before serving as hand to Dany. A guy with *that* story doesn't warrant any mention? Seriously? Not that I needed any more convincing after seeing them "in action" when Sam was at the Citadel, but the maesters can eat a big back of dicks.
Also, is it bad for HBO that Veep had a much better series finale and no one cares? I don't care how much they advertise their other shows, until the GOT spinoffs launch, they're going to struggle.
