Such an unsatisfying episode. Except for the fact the I was right on the money with my last review! The throne did turn into a metal puddle! I mentally patted myself on the back during that scene, not gonna lie. And the new King comes with his own built-in throne (kind of). So convenient! Bran The Bored. Long may he reign, I guess.
Otherwise, though, I'm so very disappointed. This is what eight seasons and hours upon hours of watching have lead to? What a let down.
In the end, the only character who had somewhat of a cool overall story was Sansa. Everyone else's got ruined.
Arya trained herself silly, saved basically all of humanity and civilization as we know it by defeating the Night King, and in the end merrily sailed off to the literal ends of the world. She was never an explorer. She was the warrior, the fighter. The defender. The ending they gave her makes absolutely no sense. I hope to all the Gods (new, old, fire, water, air, whatever) they don't decide to make a spin off out of it. I REPEAT. HBO DO NOT MAKE AN "ARYA THE EXPLORER" SPIN OFF!
Jon being a Targaryen/Stark only to end up an exiled pariah again. He could just as easily have fallen in love with and betrayed Daenerys without all that backstory. So why even introduce it if in the end it'll lead to nowhere. Such a waste.
Bringing Gendry back. Utterly pointless.
Doing things, introducing information, and then have them lead nowhere is crappy storytelling. Just plain bad writing.

I expected so much more.
