I am sorry, I have defended this series and enjoyed it, however that last episode was pointless on many levels.
I get the what did you expect, but anyone but bran to finish on the throne. No twists, only one major death, no tits, just felt like it kind of pittered out. They did have to tie up a lot but you could easily have left the previous episode as the finale and it would have been better just throw in the death of Dany at the end. The last bit with all the starks walking was a bit cringe too.
Hey ho, overall fantastic series and will be missed. Look forward to rewatching it at some point, not really that bothered about the last episode though
It made sense to have Bran as King due to his all-seeing nature - even if it didn't make sense considering what he'd said in previous episodes - but I think it would have made more sense to have the lineage now to be based on future Three-Eyed Ravens, Bran replaced the older fella in Season 6, so there's clearly some kind of cosmic succession there. That surely would secure a consistent ruler who could protect the people and wouldn't be consumed by greed, power etc, as seems to be destined to happen after Bran has kicked the bucket, if he could kick anything that is.
As @se9addick has already posted, I think Arya is going into her own story. Maisie Williams is not so successful an actress as to spurn the opportunity for something like that and HBO will see $$$. As for Jon Snow and the wildlings having their own series I’m not so sure. Kit Harrington is already limited box office in Hollywood and I see his future in films rather than getting further type cast as Jon.
Wasn't completely happy with what was a rushed and ending that didn’t tie up lots of loose ends but I’m going to miss GoT a lot. Think I will leave it a few months and watch the whole series in its entirety during the long cold winter months.
Certainly didnt understand how the Unsullied knew that Jon had killed Dany - think it would have been one of the better explanations, even if Greyworm had been watching in the shadows having just arrived for a meeting with her
Nor do I get their full reasoning for picking Kings and Queens in the future - i.e. Surely its better to have it through birth rather than through being elected, isnt that effectively how the trouble began in the first place with certain people not being happy at how the succession to the throne had gone so the War started out and has only just ended
I did think that about Greyworm knowing.
Maybe Jon was too honest to say "Daenerys and Drogon? No idea, just flew off somewhere together, me and Tyrion will be acting King and Hand while we're waiting for her to come back, shall we? Good, that's settled. First point of order, stop killing everyone now."

For sure. He's Jon Snow, of course he confessed, just like Ned Stark would have.

Yeah that in all honesty is what I took to believe
Just another scene Id preferred to have seen rather than a slow motion camera in Tyrion's face which seemed to happen on about three occasions - I loved him as a character and actor but calm down with the dramatics
In previous series I thought Tyrion was a stand out character with lots of funny dialogue mixed with intense sweeping speeches delivered superbly by the actor. In this last series the director seems to have asked the actor to express a lot of the character’s emotions and feelings without speech using mainly facial expressions which resulted in a lot of hammy overacting.
Enjoyed the series.Some great one liners.Truly horrific villians.Great surprises. Didn't enjoy the ending after all The Hound was dead.What,and Brine just sat down at the table . There are huge holes left in the plot for spin offs and I'm sure it's designed that way the the TV channel and the author to make the big shilling
I can't believe Ser Podrick Payne is in the Kingsguard now. Knights of the Kingsguard have to take an oath of chastity. The ladies are going to miss out on Pod the Tripod!!

Never stopped Jaime Lannister.
Or the Kingsguard guy that Arya slit his throat in the pedo brothel.
Fitting finale. The Starks now rule the world. I’m not disappointed with that and glad Ghost and Tormund appeared before the end. Fair to say the last two seasons were not up to the standards set earlier on but it’s still the best tv show ever and will be for a long time to come.

At least Tyrion made it to the end, so I'm happy with that. Peter Dinklage acted everybody else off the screen last night.
Once he lived I didnt care what happened to anyone else

I didn't realise GOT was holding me back so much, thanks for your kind words of wisdom.
