So Bran was setting everything up for himself to take the throne
Right here. Agree.
Kings landing got what it deserved. Tyrion forgets they were cheering for his execution and forced him out.

D&D read the books, decided Bran would win it all, and told GRRM THAT ending 10-11 years ago? I'm going with bullshit.
No less than 4 people at the final council knew Jon is a straight up legit heir...so they sent him packing over the cripple with zero claim? I'm going with bullshit.
The Unsullied and Dothraki didn't X-out Jon the second they learned he dropped Dany? I'm going with bullshit.
The whole dragon thing this episode? I'm going with bullshit.
Bran, at some point in the last two seasons, made a conscious effort to shape the world in his favor? I'm going with bullshit.
Sansa in all leather? I'm going with...I'll be in my bunk.
I'm not even angry, just disappointed.

How the hell does he get his chair up the steps? Easy enough to unthrone him... Literally tip the throne over.
In the scene immediately after the battle, there seem to be more Unsullied than at the start of the mainland campaign. Given that they can't exactly "multiply" I found that puzzling. Same with the Dothraki. Sure seem to be a lot of them left over.
The "Jon murders Dany" scene was just stupid. That whole plot line was stupid. This whole season was stupid.
I watch GoT on the treadmill so sometimes I miss things. Last episode I remembers Arya riding out of town on the one horse that wasn't barbecued, locked up, or utterly terrified because... you know... the dragon. Then she's just kind of standing around in the middle of town? What happened?
Grey Worm is dropping Lanisters like it's his job, and then doesn't straight up shish kebab Jon Snow when he finds out he murdered his queen? I mean at least have the plot explain that Jon told everyone Dany just flew off on her dragon and there's some seed of doubt or something. "Hey I wacked your girl, but we're still boys, right?"
This whole episode was just to set up the spin offs. Two thumbs down.

Will sleep on it before writing more but increasingly disappointed.
In addition to Jon, doesn't Gendry still have a legitimate claim to throne?...and everyone knows it because Dany announced it when she made him a lord or whatever.
There was bound to be some plot holes but the more I reflect on it, the more garbage it becomes. Very unsatisfying.

So they had a chance in this episode to really fix some gaping plot holes from the last couple of episodes.
For example, the whole thing at Winterfell could have been a clever ploy by the Queen of Dragons to try to whittle down two major threats to her power: the men of the North and the army of the Undead. So, remember when the Dothraki charged and then all the lights went out and we didn't really see what happened? What if they just rode off without making contact, opening the way for the undead to attack Winterfell? That would explain the charge, AND why there were so many of them left over after the fight. And when the Unsullied pulled back into the castle, they preserved themselves as a fighting force AND conveniently occupied Winterfell in case they needed to spear some Northmen after the battle. The artillery in front of the infantry? The Queen convinced them to do that, she wanted to wipe out the North's siege engines so they couldn't be used against her later.
OR SOMETHING
I was really hoping for the Faceless Men to make another appearance in this last episode. Arya murdering the queen after pretending to be John would have been good.
The scene with the dragon rearing up behind the queen at the beginning of the episode was cool, as was the dragon melting the Iron Throne.

So I'm not sure what I really feel about it. On one hand I can see how much they tried to tie everything off as quickly as they could but you can only do so much with 6 episodes after a span of 7 years filled with immense plot and story arcs. Not to mention it was pretty noticeable that they wrote themselves into a corner on a lot of things and just had to wing it.
This is one of maybe 3 shows that has made me go "What in the actual fuck" with the Brann situation this episode. Are you actually trying to tell me, the guy who, by all accounts is less useful than Theon's noodle, is chosen to rule the iron throne? All because he can "tell a good story"??
It was nice to see Jon actually stand up and do the right thing.
Dany if anything this season and episode proves the theory that crazy is a direct correlation with hotness. Also Dany > Sansa don't @ me.
Why wasn't Jon just killed immediately by the Unsullied? And how did they find out it was him? Did he just walk down and be like "hey guys, I just shanked our queen in the heart lmao"?
I feel like as soon as he stabbed Dany and Drogon was about to roast some marshmallows it should have cut to black or they pulled a Cowboy Bebop and hit us with the "To be continued".
All the jokes and memes aside, I honestly don't think they could have done anything this episode to make not even a majority of people happy.

Wow, what a great show! I loved it when Aang flew off on his bison. And calling in Arc Light on the whole freaking AO in Cambodia was brilliant.
Get ready for the water bottle menes.

No one questioned who the fuck Bronn was and why he got his position? For all practical purposes, some guy shows up out of nowhere and is now master of coin?! Get outta here.
Did John just say "fuck it" and leave his post at Castle Black (not that Castle Black is needed anymore) to run off with the Wildlings...and where are they headed?
Did Bran, who is still worthless as they get, offer to warg into Drogon? If so, why didn't he do it when King's Landing was being scorched? Sure would've saved some trouble and made him at least a little useful. His storyline is all b.s.
After the entire castle is decimated, Jaime and Cersi are under just a single stack of bricks. Again, get outta here with that.
Just like that, all these people/lords and ladies throw away their long held heirarchial beliefs as a result of a 1 minute speech by Tyrion? Really?
I imagine this is what it feels like when some dude gets played by a tranny with a pushup bra...thinks he's looking at a hot chick and "surprise", this is not what you want.
Again, I'm not sure what I really expected from the finale but it felt like a bit of an insult. After all these years of many "emotional" episodes, and I didn't really feel any connection with last episode other than they all just wanted to hurry up and say, "peace out". That's pretty disappointing.
