I enjoyed almightycutie’s but this sounds more refined and a bit more satisfying at the end, so I’d be very interested to have a link please.

A couple of thoughts:

  • In almightycutie’s, there was a scene which really stood out to me as an issue, where two scenes of Jamie and Cersei talking together (one from season six and one from season seven) were merged into one single scene, which ultimately led to them ‘breaking up’. The dialogue and the narrative was fine, but I think they both completely changed outfits in the middle of the scene. Just wondering if you preserved that collision of scenes? Or if you feel you’ve been forced to do anything like that where you’ve had to accept a continuity error for the sake of broader clarity?
  • Regarding Varys, I’m glad you left him alive, because he didn’t deserve to die the way he did in the original. He doesn’t have a conclusion, but at least he doesn’t have a bad conclusion. However, you mentioned that you leave the matter of who rules the South fairly ambiguous, and maybe you can kill two birds with one stone, by including a couple of shots of Varys overlooking the (burned) throne then smiling slyly - perhaps during the ending montage - just to imply this situation has somehow played into his hands and that he sees an opportunity to continue his agenda. I’m not suggesting sitting him on the throne or anything, so much as being involved in what comes next.
