Show Notes
If you thought "Winterfell" was a slow start to Game of Thrones Season 8, you weren't paying attention. Between the emotional reunions and Alladin-esque dragon dates, HBO's flagship series outlined all the alliances forming as the living make their last stand. And how each alliance might fail. Episode 1 also gave glimpses of how the good guys can win. We'll outline the secret weapons, powerful assets, and key strategies Jon Snow and Co. will need to survive against staggering odds. Big D maps out his military advice for the Battle of Winterfell, and Gene Lyons explains the significance of the Night King's Smalljon Umber wall art at Last Hearth. Who is the "old friend" Bran is waiting for in Winterfell's courtyard? The episode closes with the arrival of Jaime Lannister, but it could be someone else. Someone like family.

Despite this, some gather around in order to start a revolution while others are out to stop it before it is too late. Find out why we're watching "Watchmen" and why you should, too.

It's time to put your fingers where your mouth is! More than 100 Shat on TV listeners wrote in their improved versions of "Game of Thrones," and we chose the weirdest, smartest, and most original rewrites for this bonus edition of Shat on TV. Your wild imaginations brought us everything from George R.R. Martin's cruel childhood to a Hulked-out Tyrion. And more serious topics ranged from Daenerys' possible bipolar disorder to brutal endings for nearly all our characters. What if we had more cliffhangers and a longer season? What if Bran delivered the future to us in the final episode? Or if Dany went full White Walker and Jon Snow still loved her? Plus, one listener wrote us a letter we couldn't help turning into a song with the help of singer Natalie Ribbons. It's our parting gift after two painfully short seasons of Game of Thrones together. Let's keep the party going! Subscribe to our other podcasts at shatontv.com and shatthemovies.com. And find more of Natalie Ribbons' music at facebook.com/telenovellamusic.

"Game of Thrones" is over, but listener email keeps pouring in. And that's the recipe for a Bonus Small Council edition of Shat on TV. The King Bee is back to share his opinion on Season 8 and ask, "What's the worst thing you ever did to an ex?" Gene explains how "Game of Thrones" is like a decade-long Bob Ross painting, and listeners continue their fight over whether Bran is a fitting king or just a sneaky creep. Listener Ken L. shares his theories on where Drogon went with Daenerys' body, plus what happened to the Dothraki after she died. Meanwhile, listener Reeshee writes in about the demonization of minorities in "Game of Thrones." No matter your opinion, we all can agree on one thing expressed beautifully in a voicemail from listener Courtney K: Jon Snow is the worst boyfriend in Westeros.

We asked you to withhold judgment until after the Game of Thrones finale. And now that our watch has ended, it's time for the gloves to come off. This Small Council listener mail edition gets down to the nasty business of assigning blame for a questionable season 8, casting shade on the show runners, George R. R. Martin, and even poor Gene Lyons. As fans dig into "The Iron Throne," messages pour in to question Bran's legitimacy as king, Jon's right to be alive, the Kingsmoot's entire function, and why HBO's most successful series is ending. Gene learns an important lesson about the C-word. No, not that one, and Big D guides us through a record number of voicemails. Have a listen, then join us Tuesday for a Bonus Small Council!
