Maybe it’s me being a soppy shite but that episode itself was okay I thought, wrapped up things nicely. The clusterfuck to get there can’t be ignored obviously, but I don’t hate it. Not sure I get the Bran as King thing but otherwise that’s a satisfying ending.

Satisfying??? That was absolutely embarrassing.
Rivals Dexter for horrendous ends.

There was no story at all in season 8. Everyone just stopped where they were. Why was Jon a targaraen? Why was Bran the three eyed raven? Why did Arya even go to Kings Landing and what was the point of that whole sequence showing us why she'll now hate Dany? She just let Jon do his thing. So did Jon just admit to killing Dany to Grey Worm and we think he wouldn't have murdered Jon on the spot? Why didn't Bran just wait for the Dothraki to sail away and go "lol Jon come back, they're gone now".
The two key moments of this season. Who will kill the night king and who will sit on the throne. They could have chosen anyone and the story would have been the same. There was no reason why Arya killed him, or why Bran was chosen to sit on the throne. They literally could have shot up to that point then decided on the day and it would have made as much sense to the proceeding 6/7 years of intricate story.

I honestly think that's the ending GRRM has in mind for the most part, and the main thing they've butchered is the execution of it, Bran in particular. Don't know whether they told IHW to act Bran as wooden and annoyingly as possible, but I think that ending will play far far better when it's better worked through in the books. Maybe satisfying is the wrong word because hell, this season definitely hasn't been satisfying in the slightest, but the majority of the surviving characters get some level of closure at least.

the scene of Jon and Dany gave us a glimpse of what could've been, I thought it was a great moment of tension and she played the madness pretty brilliantly, but then when he stabbed her I just felt... nothing. I dunno if that's because I never bought them as a couple or I was just disappointed that Jon was the one to do it... I would've been more interested if he was so paralysed he couldn't bring himself to do it, or if he did that it left him more broken. He seems... fine.
like the whole first portion up to that point I was actually on edge, I thought - is Tyrion gonna try and kill her? Is Jon, in front of Grey Worm? Is Grey Worm going to tell Dany to arrest Jon too? Is Dany going to snap at him and get Drogon to kill him? Will the fire not work? But if it does... will Arya wear Jon's face and kill her?
But once he stabbed her, it was just a whirlwind of tying up loose ends and this-is-how-we're-leaving-things. And for a show that hammered us over the head for a good... 5 seasons? about consequences, the fact that Tyrion and Jon just walk away after everything is ridiculous.
And Bronn showed up again hahaha god that was awful

Bron showing up with a nod to some of the more comedic moments throughout the series. That in itself wasn't awful.
People are saying it was good that things were tied up but this is fucking Game of Thrones. People die when the story says they die. People don't have near and tidy endings.
They should have killed everyone in the battle of Winterfell and ended it there. It would have been more fitting for Game of Thrones.

I dunno it just felt like a "best of" scene, really didn't like it. I think the last spoken line by a character was something about brothels.

Beyond caring about spoilers tbh, already read than Jon kills Dany a few weeks ago and King Bran sounds just about dumb enough to be right
Thoughts as I'm watching now:
Where's Arya's horse @ tho Why is it snowing in King's Landing all of a sudden Emilia Clarke has actually done a really good job of acting like a delusional psycho, fair play to her lol merked Fucking hell Drogon stop clipping the mic Loool 8 entire seasons and it just gets melted like that, good thing Bran has his own chair already DORNE KLAXON also how did Sansa get to KL so quick King Davos, imo Hahaha fuckin sit down Edmure Holy shit wait that's Robyn Arryn?! Why is he 6'3 with fuccboi hair now?? Bit harsh of them all to stand isnt it OK I get that it's been "a few weeks" or whatever bit KL looks very un-destroyed all of a sudden The book is called A Song Of Ice And Fire, immediate cut to credits please KINGSGUARD POD BEST SEASON EVER Actually feel a lot better about that than I expected
