I have a few small issues with the season like the nightking death was way to fast and easy. Jamie and Cersei's death felt very rushed i expected her to get a better death after all she had done. All of Aryas training with the faceless men could of been used so much better in the final season but it was like it never happened because she never used any of it again. Jon Snow was just brooding and apart from his scene with Dany he did very little. Finally Tormund never got the big woman :nono:

So many memes going around because they each got paid around $1 million per episode in this final season so essentially Jon Snow got millions to brood and say 'My Queen' a lot, and Cersei got to stand in a window drinking wine :lol:

Sam is just ahead of his time!

I thought the bit with Edmure giving his speech and then put in his place in no uncertain terms was funny just because it showed how some people have learned, grown, and developed over time. He hasn't. It reinforced, compared to several years ago, how smart and confident Sansa is and why she is the rightful Queen in the North.

As for Bran the Broken (First of His Name), I can't really think of another way of resolving the King of the (now six) Kingdoms issue. Sansa and Jon/Aegon are well qualified, but neither want it. No one would accept Yara Greyjoy, nor the now grown up Robin Arryn. Gendry would have a legitimate claim, but is too inexperienced in statecraft and would just be a puppet for his Hand and council.

Bran is the obvious choice when you need someone to make a clear sighted decision, one based on reason rather than emotion and backed up by a weight of historical protocol. If he knows everything that has ever happened, what is currently happening, and has flashes of the future, that would make him a very wise and mentally powerful monarch.

Seriously! What sad twat actually noticed that water bottle?

I can barely see it on the stills never mind as an episode is playing out. It could be anything.

The actual camera pan that takes in those shots was pretty fast so they obviously played it back in slo-mo to try and catch them out!

You're not the only one who can barely see it because it's not an obvious water bottle and, like I said, I didn't notice it while the scene was playing.

Something I forgot to mention earlier was I'm glad we resolved the Azor Ahai prophecy before the end credits rolled on the last episode. It's something which has been speculated about and subject to all manner of conjecture for several seasons.

We all have slight issues with the final season and for all its flaws lets not forget that it was an amazing ride overall. Never in all my years have i ever loudly cheered or applauded so many times watching a TV show or film. So many amazing memorable moments and characters that will live on for ever.

It was just rushed, that's the only thing, I can get on board with all of the story arcs if they took a few more episodes to get there!

I watched this review earlier, the guy who does the reviews usually does films, and I watch them all of the time and trust his opinion. He seems to echo everything I thought too.
