I enjoyed the finale a lot more than I did the prior two episodes.

Rhaegal getting killed and them standing there where Cersei could (and would) have taken them out was dumb. Dany going mad queen was not something I liked and was rushed in the show (though I have no doubt that story came from GRRM and not D&D).
While this episode still had a few dumb things, I really enjoyed it much more than I thought I would.

Things I didn't like:

-I'm not buying that Grey Worm took Jon prisoner and didn't kill him after that
-Sansa being Queen of the North. Felt unnecessary, she could have been warden of North and pledged loyalty to Bran

Things I did like:

-Tyrion finding Jaime...sad
-Arya sidling up on Jon again after Dany's speech
-Tyrion convincing Jon what he needs to do
-Jon killing Dany (once she went mad queen, it had to be done)
-Drogon nudging dead Dany and then screaming before melting that damn iron throne (this was my favorite scene this episode)
-Electing a king, probably won't last, but it's good that the wheel got somewhat broken and they took a step toward democracy
-Brienne writing Jaime's history into the White Book (paused and read it all, she did well. Another of my favorite scenes in this episode)
-Starks rule the world! Nice ending for the Starks. Bran is king, Sansa is queen, Jon goes north again and is basically king beyond the wall, Arya goes adventuring. I liked it
-Jon reuniting with Ghost and going north with the wildlings'

All in all a fitting ending and I was much happier with it than I thought I would be going into it given the last couple of episodes.

In the books Jon will kill Dany to fulfill the Azor Ahai prophecy I think, but who knows if we'll ever get the books. I can live withthis ending if we don't, but I hope we do because the book ending will be better I'm sure.
