Yeah, unless you go with Bran is King and the rest of that insufferable ending, there’s not much that can be done from an editing perspective to wrap things up in the south. Plus, I killed off 2-3 of the ppl present, so it wouldn’t have worked in my edit anyway. To me, leaving it open-ended is an improvement over being force-fed nonsense. There are all sorts of possibilities for what happens in King’s Landing next, one just needs to use their imagination instead of being shown it in this edit. My main goal was to wrap up the arcs of our main characters so that we had satisfying and realistic endings for them. Cersei and the Iron Throne are gone so I think it’s less important what’s happening now in the south. Maybe the power now shifts to Sansa in the north, since she’s “queen”.

And yes, since Jaime doesn’t flee Winterfell, I had to cut that convo, along with the one where Bronn intimidates them with a crossbow. The only spot it could have maybe been salvaged would have been him getting captured on his way to Winterfell, but that ruins the reveal of his arrival there and getting immediately questioned by Dany. Parts of the dialogue are also about Cersei and how to escape King’s Landing, so it really doesn’t fit in this edit since the King’s Landing plotline had already been concluded and Jaime doesn’t leave Winterfell anyway to trash his redemption arc. That scene was one that just had to be cut. But otherwise, Jaime and Tyrion do have other chats, so I don’t think I short-changed their interactions by losing that one scene. I’ll PM you a link so you can judge for yourself.
