Hi everybody and it's another special episode of Kotaku's split screen. We're here. I'm here with Jason

Shireire to talk about Game of Thrones, about the Game of Thrones finale. Hey Jason. Kirk, that was

fucking insane. That was a pretty chill episode of TV. Not a lot happened. Nothing really, the plot didn't move. I was just like...

So, I think, I think, okay, I'm going to make a claim. I think that was the best episode of television I've ever seen, beating, like, Sopranos finale, beating Breaking Bad, Ozymandias. I think that was just like, in terms of like, like, beating, Breaking Bad, Ozymandias.

I think that was just like, in terms of like raw crazy moments and bad shit things happening.

I will say that was one of the most eventful episodes of TV I've ever seen.

I'm not ready to call it the best episode of TV I've ever seen.

Yeah, maybe not. In terms of like, there were like four or five times where I was just like, holy shit.

And it's such a like, oh man, it's such a function of how this whole season has worked that they could do that much in one episode.

Like, man, that beginning, man.

Well, so the crazy thing is that it was all really predictable stuff.

It was.

Yeah, you predicted half of it on the podcast. Yeah, we were both like, oh yeah, Circe's going to use a wildfire, and it's going to end

with the shot of Danny sailing to Westrose.

A lot of it was just like, it was obvious pieces falling into place.

Yeah, and yet very well executed, very just really great music, man. There's a lot to talk about with this

episode. I feel like just for a moment, we need to just have this moment to sort of freak out

about how good that was. I was... Just unwind. Yeah, I was having a very good time, just in general,

in my apartment, yelling. I think my neighbor's going crazy.

Well, so what they did was very smart, which was very smart was, A, they ended all the

boring plots and turned them into interesting ones.

Slash, killed all the boring characters.
