Game of Thrones TV extravaganza

Some more thoughts:

- One thing that the show actually made me look up lately was "What is an 'Elector', in Medieval history?" Turns out an Elector was a high-level member of royalty (I knew that, you see 'Elector of East Buttscratch' all over Medieval history) that gets to vote on the next Holy Roman Emperor. This system lasted for hundreds of years, so there's a RL precedent for this system not blowing up when tested. Somebody in GoT production/writing staff must've stayed awake in history class.

- I can't believe that the finale didn't show us what happened after Jon killed Daenerys. Yeah, we all figured out that Dumbass Jon just walked up to Grey Worm, handed him his sword, and said, "I killed Daenerys, sorry." I see the writers sitting around, saying, "At this point, Jon is deader than fuckin' fried chicken, so how do we get around that?" Then they said the heck with it, and just fast-forwarded everything a couple of months. Killing a ruler and getting caught was two whole shows in S4, and that's not even 10 minutes in S8. My inner nerd is deeply offended.
