Not sure what all has been said, as I'm not going to read back that far, but...
I thought that Dani dying in the thrown room, and the lead up of her walking to the thrown were a good throw back to the vision she had much earlier in the series where she approached the throne in what appeared to be snow (must have been ash) but turns away before she touches it to go outside to a tent where Drogo and their son were waiting for her, was cool. I thought that burning the throne was cool. Didn't like how she was merely picked up and carried away. I thought he would let Jon mount him and carry him to safety.
Wasn't enough closure with the Unsullied. They're going to sail off to their own island and, what? None of them can have children. They're all just going to grow old and die staring at each other? And the Dothraki? What of them?
The fast forward from Jon killing Dani to everyone being gathered to determine the fate of the kingdoms was very....abrupt. Then, the Lords and Ladies meet, Tyrion recommends Bran out of nowhere to be king, everyone agrees, and then everything is revealed through Tyrion visiting Jon? All in the matter of about five minutes? Lame.
I do think it was pretty predictable that Sansa would rule the North, so I thought it was cool.
Jon going North with the Wildlings was good, too, I just didn't like that he was banished to the Wall. What Wall? What is it for now? It used to be to keep the Wildlings out, but aren't they all friends now?
And Arya goes from assassin to wanderer? I realize she has pretty much been a wanderer all along, but she was a wanderer with a purpose. Now she sails out just because?
And Bronn becomes Keeper of the Coin? Seriously? I did love Podrick as a knight though.
I really wanted to like the finale, but there was just a little too much "WTF?" for me.
