I'll start with the good. The Hound v The Mountain. The rest was fucking trash. What the fuck kind of ending is that for Varys? One of the smartest men in the series gone so simply, without any of the smart plot that made GoT what it was. Cersi? ? So she had NO PLAN? What a let down. Jamie ending like that lacks any of the GoT style also. Arya goes all that way, has defeated the Night King but just TURNS AROUND? Well we've got a fucking lot to cover in the last episode. We need to find out wtf Bran is and why he's relevant to fucking anything. At this point he might as well be Walt from Lost. Looks like Arya will go back to Sansa and Jon will have a dilemma. The last episode needs to be a fucking epic and I don't mean in the trashy action way they have done in this latest ep and episode 3. We need the fucking story wrapped up. We need the GAME of thrones to return.

Agree with Cersei's lack of plan being weird, kept expecting her to pull an unexpeted ace out of her sleeve rather than just stand there looking sad.
No issue at all with Arya turning around there though. At that point it was absolutely clear that Cersei was defeated and as good as dead, apart from the personal glory of knowing you were the one to physically kill her there was nothing for Arya to gain by risking her life to kill someone already dead.

I like Dany turning evil but they should have made that switch more dramatic. Hate that Jaime went back to Cersie not to kill her. Basically makes him the bad guy again. Varys should have been a big player but went out terribly. Better episode than last week but that wasn’t hard.

Hated basically every second of that. Show’s been absolutely butchered.

Man so much of that episode was great, but goddamn the story telling and writing is utter shite. Dany just wiping out all the scorpions cause she flew out of the sun. Jaime actually, genuinely, for real, throwing away 8 seasons of a gorgeous character arc so he could kill some watery tart. Jon in a wonderful juxtaposition of yelling at his soldiers not to attack while simultaneously pulling out a killtacular. And finally, Dany literally burning the entire fucking city for no real reason other than cause she's cRaZY.
As an episode on its own: wonderful. As the ending to one of the best story driven TV shows ever: utter shite.

Also that fucking horse at the end genuinely made me laugh, an entire city is burning and collapsing around it and it's just chilling like everything's cool.

That was one of the parts I liked. Lots of theories and symbolism around that horse. Ned stark rode into Kings Landing on a white horse. The Hound found little Arya a white horse.

Jon in a wonderful juxtaposition of yelling at his soldiers not to attack while simultaneously pulling out a killtacular. And finally, Dany literally burning the entire fucking city for no real reason other than cause she's cRaZY I thought it was because she's decided that the only way she's going to be able to keep the throne over Jon is through pure fear? She even said to Jon "Fear it is then." And didn't Jon tell his soldiers not to attack and just fought back when people attacked him or am I remembering that wrong?

Yes, it’d suit Jon’s character much better if he told his men to drop their swords and then, when being attacked, decided to just let the Lannister soldiers to murder him.

Anyway you’ll all be shocked to hear that, yet again, I really liked it.

Tbf, the Jon thing was just funny, I agree he had to defend himself. Can't convince me on Dany though, the switch is insanely rushed. If she'd just burnt down the Red Keep and collateral damage from that had killed peasants then sure, but she literally went from talking about the mercy of killing the few to save the many to Mad King BURN THEM ALL. Have her over eagerness for revenge lead to wild fire blowing up parts of the city, have the peasants scream at her that she's a monster. But don't have her do it purely to instill fear when that's something you've set up at best for an episode and a half compared to the previous 7 seasons of her caring for every innocent death. Watching a character go through an intense fall is great when it makes sense, but this was basically a face-heel turn with no proper thought behind it.
