GOT - there will be spoilers

Now that GOT is done and the dust is beginning to settle it’s a good time to talk about what they did well and what they didn’t (leaving season 8, think it’s been done to death)
Could have been improved/better or actually used:
Dorne
Ghost/Dire Wolves
Lady Stoneheart
More flash backs with Bran and the 3 eyed RavenWhat was amazing:
Tits
Epic battles, Blackwater, battle of the bastards..
Dragons fucking Dragons
Tits
Hodor/hold the door
Politics especially the early seasons -
@Calf I'm not a fan of your "ending" - think it would have annoyed me more than this season.
Anyway, general thought that I may already have mentioned which may have improved the season for many fans was having 10 one hour episodes. Even if they took the exact same amount of time to tell the stories, the extra weeks would have made it seem like more time had happened. Dany's change would have happened over a few episodes instead of a couple. The season could have been split into two, five eps on the Night King, and five on the battle for KL and aftermath.
Although, just saying the that these episodes were the exact outline from the old perve is probably enough to change some fans minds.
Hmmm, looking at the thread I don't think I actually commented on the episode. I really didn't mind it. Had a decent killing that was somewhat unexpected and important to the show*, followed the usual GoT playbook of having a more talky episode after a penultimate battle/other big scene episode, finished on the Starks who have always been to me the focal point since the beginning. Not sure I buy Bran the Broken as King, but he is fairly neutral in the scheme of things. Tyrion and Jon not being killed automatically even subverts the usual GoT playbook of good guy dying. Maybe Grey Worm kept them alive for bargaining reasons? TBF, Grey Worm keeping them alive seems more in character with the character over the seasons than last weeks one.
*I can't believe some are complaining about Jon Snow's worth to the show, he got the armies together to defeat the Night King (pretty important), and killed his aunty-lover when she turned into a megalomaniac saving Westeros from ongoing war.

@Virgil Also amazing - Some evil bastards - eg Joffrey and Ramsay and some of the deaths, e.g. Dany's brother and the gold hat, Oberon, red wedding, Tywin....
Yup missed those, the casting has been superb too
Apart from the sand snakes I can’t recall many dud actors/characters -

People have it so good in 2019 that they have to create the most retarded shit to fight against

@mariner4life yep, gone are the days where you simply changed channel or didnt watch something!

Are they upset about how it ended or the lazy arse abrupt way in which it ended? I think people can justifiably be pissed off about how rushed it all was after 8 long years of build up but if they have issues with the final outcome then they need to take a long walk in the fresh air.

Just be thankful we live in an age where we can take to Twitter, FB, Instagram or whatever to express our outrage. God forbid this happening 20 years ago, we'd have to wait for a designated break at work to whinge to someone at the water cooler or god forbid have to arrange to meet some mates at the pub to have a moan.
