Correct pace?

A Nuremberg rally, regicide, northern independence, the crowning of a new king, and Jon Snow going home would have taken at least one season in previous years.

That said, it wasn't a terrible episode if it was a stand alone thing, but another disappointment as the last ever episode.

I'm not really sure how this season has affected my desire to rewatch the whole thing ever again with how it all played out and ended. That slow Dany and Jon build up over years of investment, only to watch it come crashing down so quickly and so poorly written is almost as heartbreaking as watching Drogon nuzzle Dany.

I would have liked them to have given Tormund and Jon a few lines of dialogue at the end instead of just watching Jon walking.

The shot of Drogons wings behind Dany was probably my favourite thing from the entire season

Wish Drogon has killed Jon before he left with Dany.

That's not true. GRRM said that he wrote dany's immunity to fire as a one time thing, only the show kept it going, and her brother didn't have any of those powers.

It was a bit stupid that Drogon saw his dead mom with a knife sticking out of her chest so decides to burn a chair.

I did think that emilia played her part brilliantly, she became every inch the mad queen at the end

The lone wolf dies while the pack survives. As 4 lone wolves get as far away from each other as possible.

Tbf I didn’t think it was a bad ending, I just didn’t like how dany was done dirty (even though we saw it coming) and there was a load of dumb stuff that happened

It was more or less a happy ending, which you have been dreading.

On the upside I think the ending could've been much worse. Seeing as the series is over, I can mention now that one part of the leaks was Tyrion getting killed off during his trial at the hands of the Starks, but thankfully that was another of their multiple endings shot that didn't happen. However, after everything she went through, I'm annoyed they didn't go with the possible ending of Sansa being lord of winterfell. And as shoddy as the script still was, I also thought everyone did a fantastic acting job, especially Peter Dinklage and Emilia Clarke.

But this does bring me to the writing, and she I wasn't as upset as I was with ep 5, I was dissatisfied with a number of characters. Sansa and Tyrion more or less got the resolution I would've thought they deserved, bit having both Arya and Jon venture away from home - both of which only basing it on curiosity - does a huge disservice to the two characters that looked like they'd have the most importance. What was the point of Arya stumbling across that random White horse and even more annoyingly, what was the point of making Jon a Targaryen other than for him to kill off Daenerys?

Urgh and that brings me to Dany. They already completely butchered her character the episode prior by making her the mad queen and whatnot, but that rushed arc conclusion was all made even more redundant by killing her off HALFWAY into the episode. This isn't necessarily a bad thing (Breaking Bad could kill off certain characters in the beginning or middle of an episode too). It's moreso the fact that Daenerys imprisons Tyrion, argues with Jon, kisses Jon again (still makes no sense that he'd still be attracted to her after finding out his heritage btw), and then gets killed by Jon. One of the driving forces of the show does very little in the finale after all this build up from the episode before. Her and Cersei were two of my favourites and I hated their payoff.

And making Bran king really annoyed me. I've wanted him killed off for a considerably long time now. I get that they kept wanting to imply he was important by all his visions, various characters always protecting him, being someone who seems to know many things, but it's like Daenerys becoming mad queen. Simply having the characters SAY that she's becoming ruthless and then that resulting in her burning King's Landing is poor, and so is all these implications that Bran is really important just because he was physic powers, which never even helped anyone too much. He did absolutely nothing to gain the position. I think he'd make a competent ruler, but how he reached that point is so irksome.

and I wish there was more Pod, Tormund, Brienne, Davos moments too.

EDIT: I also hated Danny's lack of remorse. Making her kill thousands of civilians is one thing, but to not give her any regrets whatsoever makes her way worse. Several other TV shows have famous anti-heroes such as Breaking Bad, Dexter, and The Sopranos, but those shows show things like hesitance and remorse. With Daenerys they instead relegated her to "First Westeros, then the WORLD! "

not happy

Spoiler:

I don’t even watch but Sansa being Queen is a slay

[Ammi]

Spoiler:

...I actually quite liked how the final threads weaved together i just found a really bad balance in the conclusion of some bits being too fleeting and others could have been shorter..Drogon nudging of Dany...heartbreaking.....

[Glenn.]

I think it did a good job of wrapping things nicely. There’s nothing left hanging is there?

I actually quite enjoyed it and tbf it wasn’t actually a bad ending to the story except it should have been Dany on the throne and she should have broken the wheel like she said.

[Smithy]

I’m guessing that the last episode is as true to the books as possible, seeing as it was originally called a Time for Wolves and now we have two Stark monarchs...

Just hoping Dany gets a better death than that **** show

They didn’t even give us a final shot of Drogon made it even more frustrating bc Bran said “maybe I can find him”

What would have been good would have been him landing in Old Valeryia, putting Danys body on the ground, burning her and little dragons flying around him, that would have been an amazing final scene

[Smithy]

Also why did Arya just decide to become Dora the ****ing explorer when she’s never shown any interest in that at all?

She's going to be pissed when she ends up back in Essos.

Arya: What's west of Westeros?

Jon: No one knows

Bran: I am here, y'know.

Sorry smithy But I really was baffled by how he would be fave (at that stage, read the spoilers last week). Basically..surely tyhe cast members put a load of large bets on? Because if te bookies had seen the spoilers, surely they wouldn't even have opened bets because they would know others would see them and basically get free cash?

Yara and Grey Worm outsold!
