    I don't mind the mad queen burning the city, but how we got here was insanely clumsy.
    Just really shitty shitty story telling.
    I'm praying RR has an entirely different ending in the book.

    The more I reminisce about the show and the past few seasons...I never thought it was possible another series would devolve as much as Lost, but here we are.

    They completely choked and mailed it in. The character inconsistencies, selective plot armor, geographic teleportation, time travel, meaningless story arcs, rushed conclusions, etc.

    Hopefully the backlash will inspire RR to do it right and finish. Doubt it though.

    I must be in the minority, but after the complete shit show the last three seasons have been, last night was a return to form.

    Yes Dany's descent into madness was rushed, but it still made sense narratively that this is the end result of all of her betrayals, losses, and insecurity of being second fiddle to Jon. I loved that Arya was finally mortal in this episode and that we got to see the absolute horror of what being a small folk entails when a city is conquered and sacked. The battle scene itself did a great job at being true to Drogon's power, and the arc of viewers at first being excited to see Dany dominate the battle only to have that change to horror once we see her turn into genocide mode was really well done. Cersei and Jaime didn't do much for me, but Jaime's ending at least made sense. Sleeping with Brienne made him realize that he only truly loves one woman, and despite all of the growth he's seen through the story, in the end his love for her was too strong and he was going to leave this world with her, just as he came in.

    Lol

    Dany just randomly snapping once she's won after being all about the people her whole life.
