There has been plenty of bad episodes earlier in this show, but it's still been a decent show to watch while doing something else on the side. I don't like Sue Perkins as she usually knocks in open doors and misses to see what is right infront of her.
Then again the editing and directing is decent enough with clips and actors joining the show to make it interesting overall.
Now to this episode: By forcing an ultra positive view on the end show it is likely there is another season on the same story in the works. Why else would they stack the show as badly as they did? Yes one guest cancelled but maybe they should have gotten someone that atleast had some eloquence in him or her. So for those liking the show don't exspect a prequel, exspect a sequel that might arrive sooner than latter.
In the episode there is Al Murray pushing the thought that everything "landed" (which is the common word - as "the best season yet"), seing as Jamie was the one with Joffrey being taunted for not achieving anything (not seen Jamie himself filling anything in). A revenge would be if he himself filled it in, not someone else after his death. They try to pass it off as a yin and yang moment about forming history with how it was acted out - that that wasn't the initial thought should be quite clear. Hinting that maybe Cersei would have won the war - making Jamie able to fill in the book, possibly opening for Tyrion to have played a game behind Dany's back (as the key spider in the story).
Neither did the golden hand get the space it was meant to, how you can not see how he was supposed to be used in a key scene (even having being shown having that use by misstake earlier). His role was cut down, that is obvious - so it did not all land. Dany, the person understanding the people working for the people was killed by the person pushed forth as the other hero. Strange that, that anyone good lands as anti heroes and the villains become are viewed as the real heroes. You either die a hero or see yourself become the villain. The quote is one of the most well known of later years. Ontop of that the last episode has been compared online to the lord of rings - which it basically has ripped off and make connotations to, to establish itself by drawing those associations people do have with LotR. If you then go into Melisandre finishing her work by bringing ice and fire together after bringing Jon and Dany together they are both immune to fire due to their dragon blood they have inherited... It is actually bringing Dany to the Night king so that Jon can kill him or occupy a dragon so that someone else could meet ice with "fire"? With dragon glass if so..? These threads are not cleaned up properly and it is obvious that the story has changed as it was written from what it was supposed to be - maybe the series will guide the writing of the new books now. Either way I do not believe this was how the series was supposed to turn out initially. Idm the way it turned out even though the writing (and the pacing, the fkin pacing) was horrible. Skipping over that it's horrible writing, copying LotR, X-men (they could have simply had Logan kill Dany - too known scene to replicate) and Avengers isn't good. It's bad - and that notion isn't even touched on.
Oh right, the fact that Ellaria Sand supposedly was still alive in the castle and Yara retaking the Iron Islands (which most likely was supposed to play a role in a longer storyline) was left out, wasn't good.
Tormund not following Jon into the war was also strange.
A better ending on the same plotline would be if it had ended with Jon melting down the wall after flying up. Being able to remove the ice divide for good and reunite the north by fire - making clear mankind is reunited.
