I find it funny that D&D are accused of "bad writing". Even in this last season there are many scenes that carry forward the tradition they've established of having plot lines carried forward by the quiet conversations in the corners. Some of those scenes are amazingly terrific.
What they seem to bad at is the overall storytelling. If they really were offered funding for 10 episodes they should have taken it. Even the most hated plot points could have been justified with more time spent on it. It seems to me that where they fell down was not bad writing, but bad plotting. I hope Martin gets it together and finishes the last two books. I want to find out what his true vision is. I also hope that this last episode may pull the fat out of the fire, but I'm not counting on it.

Well, that's it. Watched the final episode this morning and the predictable outcome as per most of the final few episodes turned into reality.
Overall I'd say the whole series has been entertaining and enjoyable, definitely better than most series I've seen. Please bear in mind the episode won't be aired in the UK until 21:00 GMT this evening for example.

I just finished watching it, and I must say that I'm not disappointed. I found it much more satisfying than I expected. I'm happy with the outcome for most of the characters, with a couple of exceptions, but those aren't a letdown nor do I think they were wrong, I was just hoping for something different.
Overall, I'm glad I watched it and I will watch it again.

When I saw Tyrion throw away the Hand pin and realized the leaks were true, I just kinda turned my brain off. What a nonsensical Disney ending.

If that wasn't bad enough..Jon is banished to the Knights Watch..what they watching for?
Greyworm decides to take his army to Naath. A country so toxic to outsiders you can only spend a couple of hours there before coming down with butterfly fever. |

The small council scene was so idiotic. The jokes were stupid and none of them really made sense. Bronn has no qualitifications to be the Master of Coin, there's no reason the... sigh... A Song of Fire and Ice would not include Tyrion in it and that debate about brothels was just cringy. Not to mention Bran just coming in for a fart and leaving to do what he always does, be somewhere else (nice choice for a King).

I was also surprised to see Jon left the knife in Dany after the stabbing, so much for emotional attachment. First a coffee cup, now the bottle of water.

^There are two scenes from that meeting where you can see a water bottle, and they're two different bottles.

Daenerys will be back. Dragon was taking her to one of those Red Witch chicks for the Jon Snow Lord of Light treatments.

The first time was curious, the second kinda suspicious, but a third tells me it was deliberate, at least on somebodies part. I wonder what will be next, "spot the Taco Bell logo in the cannibalism scene and win a free burrito"?
