I decided to watch the ending of it, I've been spoiled silly anyways.

I'm also on season 7 episode 4, so I'll probably completely finish GOT off this week.

I didn't mind the ending. BTW I loved Tyrion's speech in the dungeon.

I think that Daeny's fate was sealed as soon as she was going to build a world in her vision and people wouldn't have a choice. It went back to Tyrion's question of killing thousands who stand in the way of paradise.

I tend to think that they wanted to make it clear that Jon's justification of Daeny's actions, losing her best friend and her children was BS. Daeny's was always this way deep down, she deeply believed in her destiny and nothing was going to get in the way of her getting it. In episode 7.3 Cersei really put it into focus for me.

She nailed 163 people to boards. She had her dragon eat people, she employed savage merciless barbarians in the Dothraki and a slave army. Daeny's was always ruthless, her advisers always appealed to her gentle heart, but her gentle heart was always in conflict wit the dragon in her chest.

The Drogan scene looked visually awesome, especially melting the Iron Throne. The laughing at the concept of democracy was great.

Poor Grey Worm, he was on his way to being a whole and real heroic person, and in the end he was pretty much a slave to his anger.

I think the series had to end with the re-establishment of normalcy. The Small Council meeting. Sansa taking power in the North and becoming an independent state. Jon leaving with the Wildings, and Arya setting sail for Brooklyn.

I expect that fans will be outraged that Bran ended up on the throne. Look, the Bran story up to where I am bored the crap out of me. But with the Lannisters wiped out except for Tyrion, and this show really being about the Starks and Lannisters it had to be a Stark, and putting Sansa on the throne or Jon on the throne would have been a fart smelling fan service.

Overall I liked it, it made me mourn a little when Daeny's died, because she tried really hard for a brief second to get past her I guess madness when she was talking to Jon, and then went full blown nut.

Anyways, I'll pop up a review of season 7 when I finish. I will say that I liked the first three episodes with the ending of the Sands family, and Cersei's revenge. But I can see why people hate Euron as a character, because he's not a character, he's a mustache twirling plot. At least with Ramsey he was a fully developed character. Euron is just shouting, look at me I'm evil.

I think the exchange when Jon met Daeny's was interesting because it pointed to the flaws in her character as her first instinct was to look at Jon as a possible enemy when he didn't bent the knee.

I liked the end of House Tryell and the death of Olette (sp?) because she was such a devious character, I also loved the oh F look on Jamie's face when she confessed to killing Joffrey, because the whole premise of Cersei's vengeance on her brother was false.
