Yep it makes 0 sense that Drogon, Unsullied and Dothraki didn't unleash hell on earth with Dany being murdered.
there was no resolution from Dany for what she did. No reaction from her when Tyrion tells her she massared a city. And none when Jon brings it up to her. She said she liberated King's Landing, and all Jon had to say was "but you won. why did you kill everyone anyway?"
but he didn't ask that. I wanted an explanation. Were they just incapable of putting together dialogue for her or something?

Just want to announce that I called King Brandon Stark over a year ago!!!
They knew from the beginning that it was Bran Stark that would be King.

It was actually a really lovely ending. And it felt like the books again.
It's a shame about the 6 episode sprint to get there. I guess I wish GRRM had got on with the books quicker. All the stuff that comes from the books was always very well adapted, and in a sense this feels like GRRM at work again.
I thought maybe knowing how it all ends would diminish my desire for the remaining novels, but it's actually the opposite. It's felt like I flipped to the last chapter and now I want it know how it gets there.

But it being the cause of her "going mad" is a show only thing
I thought this was the best episode in the last 3 seasons, not a high bar but I actually enjoyed this and I'm pretty happy with where everyone landed.
The why they landed wherever is still a problem because of the ridiculous sprint to finish but I enjoyed this episode in its own.

Little drawn out, but overall I liked it. Way better than the last two episodes. Just a nice simple ending, which is alright by me.
I kind of feel like they should have made this a two night finale. Like, aired last week's episode last Saturday and this episode last Sunday. The first couple of scenes literally felt like they were cut from last week, and then an epilogue.

Welp, that was hand's down the worst episode for me this season. And the finale no less. So much about it was just really off for me. Hated Dany's death and way too many long scenes that were completely unnecessary. The writing was just completely awful. What a let down.
I imagine if the books are finished the details we saw would be coherent and the big reveal is how bran manipulated everything through time
The Night's Watch is pretty much now just a reform school, and Jon is the headmaster.
Well, after he... leads the WIldlings somewhere?
Why is Jon going with them? Tormund is all they need.

Jon is where he should be
Arya sails into the unknown like Numeria
Queen in the North
overall a shit season gives us a good ending IMO

Meh. I could have enjoyed this episode if it wasn't in the context of everything else being bad. Amateur writing, plotholes, childish jokes and awful character arcs.
Daenarys wasn't even the same character that I've watched for 8 seasons.
Jon's whole story is a mess. He should have been killed by Drogon or the Unsullied instantly.
Bronn should be executed after his stunt earlier in the season. Why would anyone want him on the council.
Bran should never get the throne. Aside from the decision being illogical, he literally admitted he knew he'd be chosen. He intentionally screwed over everybody for the throne (including all of King's Landing) - he's as bad as Daenarys for letting the events unfold the way they did.

While it wasn't perfect it concluded everything well enough and left enough open for spin-offs in the past and future timelines.
In the game of thrones you win or you die. Or you get pulled around in a sleigh by friends you willingly sacrifice while using your time lord skills to pull puppet strings fucking everyone else's lives over until you're king. #subverted!
Drogon must've read the books and come to the conclusion that Dany was another victim of impaling herself on the Iron Throne.
If the payoff in the books is the same as in the TV series I'll be really mad. So much intrigue about his parentage for...nothing.
I like where Jon, Arya, Sansa and Tyrion ended up.
Not thrilled Bran is King buy whatever.
Best episode of the season but still found it pretty damn boring.
Seasons 1-3 are some of the best television ever and it's a shame it turned out the way it did. Oh well.

She burned the fucking city to the ground and killed like, half a million people.
There's no reason, none, that the smallfolk shouldn't be rallying around literally anybody and killing all of these lords who until five minutes ago were following the crazy burny lady. They rioted when Joff did something stupid and off-hand. A genocidal mass murderer's retune and retainers acting like they still get to rule over the people is so utterly insane that I'm amazed they didn't write at least something to address it even slightly.
So...what was the whole thing with Varys writing those notes before he was killed?
Why are the listening to Tyrion but not letting Jon be king?

Ok. After all the mess that came before, I did NOT expect to actually like the final episode and ending. I'm kinda satisfied. WHAT THE FUCK?
Only thing is that I wish they had made it two hours long and not fast forwarded weeks after Jon kills her. I wanted to see the reactions and tension.

Who on that council should even be alive at this point in the show if actions were even half as consequential as the first few seasons? Nobody?
It gave Jon a happy ending where he pet doggo and had Bron and Tyrion yucking it up. That is enough for a lot of people even if it doesn't make any sense.
Well, I suppose it wasn't as awful as I expected, but that's a low bar. Instead it was just really ... rote. Felt like the end to some low budget fantasy show like Shannara Chronicles rather than what was the biggest TV event of the decade.
I figured the Dany death was happening, though maybe him strangling her instead. Drogon slowly melting the throne for no reason was the first really awful moment of the episode - the stuff up to that was basically okay. Did like Tyrion searching for and finding Jamie and Cersei. So I guess it was true to form for the latter half of season eight - start off okay, trigger something stupid. I guess it was even at the place I predicted time wise.
I think my biggest groan came from Bronn being on the small council. Like, wtf? Why is Sam on it? Wouldn't it be years before it would make sense for him to be there?
Davos as Lord of the Fleet at least makes a little sense, though Yara would make more sense. Arya sailing west made no fucking sense, you ridden on two ships in your entire life! Bronn the Broken, really? At least Brienne did something besides cry.
Tyrion is going to be the worst 3rd time hand ever.
Yeah I was a little perplexed by that... I mean it's been like 3 weeks by the time they have that meeting, why is Jon still alive? His whole ending makes no sense.

They totally moved on from Dany without looking back or talking about it at all. And no one said "hey! Regicide!"
