I don’t understand why some people hated the finale so much. I’ll have to read some opinions to understand what they wanted to see happen instead.
I’m still digesting it all. But I’m thrilled that:
🦇 Jon is reunited with Ghost, Tormund and the free folk
🦇 Drogon was smart enough to destroy the Iron Throne
🦇 They abandoned birthright to the throne and changed to choosing their king or queen instead. Baby step in the right direction.
🦇 Brienne updating Jaime’s entry in the book of knights, adding some of the good things he did.
🦇 Arya going off to explore, pioneer, have adventures seeing what’s west of west
🦇 Sam fast-tracking to Grand Meister and being part of King Bran’s small council.
🦇 in general, I liked who became members of his small council, including Brienne and Davos.
🦇 Tyrion lived to become another ruler’s Hand of the King.
🦇 Queen Sansa kept the North independent
🦇 Grey Worm sailing off to the isle of Naath
I’m sure there is more but, as I said, I’m still digesting. Did people really want to see Danaerys sit on the Iron Throne and kill millions more until she had the whole world? In the end, her obsessive quest for power and her birthright to the throne at any cost made her even worse than Cersie.
