Now that's is wrapped, what's your take on the final season and how it ended? Not on the overall series. But how well did it stick the landing the final season and especially the last few episodes?

lol they spent 6 months shooting one episode. They didn’t mail in anything.Gave it a six. Visually and musically score during some of the episodes were 10s, they mailed in the story line.
Agree with this mostly. Bumped it up to a 7 because the final could have gone a lot worse with the rushed plot lines they set upGave it a six. Visually and musically score during some of the episodes were 10s, they mailed in the story line.
The one where no one could see anything? Maybe they should have spent more time on it.lol they spent 6 months shooting one episode. They didn’t mail in anything.
Thanks. I've been searching for the right summation of my feeling toward last night's episodeI liked where it landed, but I don’t like how they got there.
couple stooge monents for me ... chick is frying innocents left and right last week - has Varys fried for treason ... but somehow allows Tyrion to just sit in a cell?Absolutely horrible
Sure thing. The last season or so ended where I think it should have. Most of the characters ended up in spots where they should have. However so much of it was rushed, decisions by the characters didn’t alway make sense and I thought the tone in the final episode was hammy and the deliverance on the final themes was as heavy handed as King Slayers right.Thanks.

I think it’s all just cutting corners and being rushed. No way the Unsullied would turn to the Westeros elite to figure out who is in charge and what to do with the assassin. The way they could have gotten that point to work is simple too: Just have the dragon- who Jon has bloodlines with- stay with him and defend him. If the dragon would have taken Jon’s side, that’s the one way the Unsullied would have fallen in line.couple stooge monents for me ... chick is frying innocents left and right last week - has Varys fried for treason ... but somehow allows Tyrion to just sit in a cell?
and Snow is miraculously spared after pulling a Willard on Dany's Colonel Kurtz? i half expected to see a hippie fotog muttering "the skulls, you're looking at the skulls!"
i found his resurrection via the Red ##### much more plausible than Greyworm and co. sparing him after the killing.
might've worked better for me if Jon hopped on Drogon immeditaely after killing Dany and showing those men of will just what "will" really meant.
the cripple, the cripple from Winterfell ... have you seen him?
bingo.I think it’s all just cutting corners and being rushed. No way the Unsullied would turn to the Westeros elite to figure out who is in charge and what to do with the assassin.

That was the "visually" part.lol they spent 6 months shooting one episode. They didn’t mail in anything.
Yeah I think she should have fried Tyrion last weekbingo.
i asided to my gf after the killing that Snow should now jump on Drogon and go a)fry the Unsullied/Dothraki, or b)get them to heel, letting them know that exile outta Westeros is their only hope.
this would've put Jon where i thought he belonged, in the pimp hand mode ... dictating the future, because he did more than anyone to save it.
after he dispatched of Dany's armies (whether via fry or bye bye) he then could've convened that final facacta Lords and Ladies conference, and it would've made much more sense with him as the emcee ... he decrees Bran as king (i was cool with that), then says "fook it, im'ma go up North, beyond the wall, where i belong" (Tormund and Ghost and perhaps another plucky lil' ginger wildling).
oh, and in my scenario above, Dany fried Tyrion.

It is going to be really odd watching a lot of it knowing the clunky heel turn for Dany and ultimate treatment of the undead army.I rarely rewatch shows but an amazing ending last night would have made me consider it for GoT. Now, I'll probably never rewatch another episode. I enjoyed the series overall but didn't care for this last season, especially the finale.

I'd say last season felt more like a Marvel movie. Thin plot, good action.To use a movie reference, this show started out like Star Wars, evolved into Empire Strikes Back and ended with The Phantom Menace. With the role of Jar Jar being played by Bran the Broken...
There’s a reason michael bay is rich.I really enjoyed the final season. The last episode was fine except Bran as king is suuuuuuuper dumb. It worked for me.
Well said. I was okay with how each character got to his or her end. I was not okay with the ways they got they. This story was about the marathon, not the finish line.Sure thing. The last season or so ended where I think it should have. Most of the characters ended up in spots where they should have. However so much of it was rushed, decisions by the characters didn’t alway make sense and I thought the tone in the final episode was hammy and the deliverance on the final themes was as heavy handed as King Slayers right.
For all of the GOT's flaws, you realize that the people who watch GOT are, collectively, thirty times dumber than GOT's nadir.

To me, Brienne becoming a knight, then Head of the Kings Guard and finally writing the deeds of Ser Jaime Lannister who's pages were previously blank was the only part of the ending that gave me any emotions at all. The rest of the episode, I was like, "is this over yet?"After thinking about it, I am not sure how many characters' arcs I was really on board with and satisfied with at the end. Maybe: The Hound, Sansa, Tyrion, Sam ?
