I am incredibly grateful to Game of Thrones for this adventure I have found myself sucked into for some years now. I am grateful for all the emotions it brought me since day one, bitter and sweet alike. I am grateful for all the laughs, all the tears, all the jokes and gags, every single bit of it, I really am grateful and appreciative of it all. It's been just... wonderful.
That said, I am feeling robbed and betrayed right about now. This ending is arguably one of the worst series finales in the history of television and trust me I realize how bold of a statement that is. The terrible violations the characters have suffered this season, the lack of proper resolution to many of the plots and narratives developed over seasons worth of buildup, the seeking of shock value at the expense of quality writing... that and much much more solidified this as an absolute disappointment of a finale, as opposed to the marvel wrap it could've given this cultural phenomenon.
This episode does have its positives, as always the score, acting and cinematography are perfectly performed but I just do not think it's nearly enough to compensate for how lackluster the writing has been, as much as I wish they did. Oh well, sad as it may be, I'll just hold on to the good stuff and hope that GRRM's book, once finished, will tackle the ending in a more coherent, more respectful and more meaningful way. It's been real y'all...
P.S: I'll leave this here lest some people jump me again. This comment is a representation of my own personal opinion, I am entitled to one just as all of you are. If you enjoyed this season and felt this finale delivered what you were looking for then more power to you mate, but that doesn't nullify my opinion nor does it make yours any valid. If you want to discuss or challenge my views, I'd be more than happy to engage you on that basis but if all you have to offer are petty remarks then please keep them to yourself.
I'm a bit sad the show is over but I'm not that glad about this series finale.
1- If the plan was to kill Stefan just so he could be the hero of the day, there were other ways.. That whole Redemption thing.. I'm kinda surprised it didn't say on his grave that "He died as a Martyr, like he has ALWAYS wanted".
2- To me the whole Caroline/Stefan pairing has been made just because they were both lonely when Elena chose Damon. At the end of season 4, the plan was for her to live her life with Klaus, not go and marry Stefan. (Klaus: "He's your 1st love, I'm your forever")
Plus this ending kinda made it look like as if Kathetine got what she wanted in the end (Stefan 'choosing ' her).
3- Bonnie is a freaking witch. She saved the town but couldn't save Stefan...?
Also, neither the other side or hell still exist so why all those dead people kept coming back at the end.
And yeah. Jeremy... Not cool! We haven't seen him in a ages and nothing. No reunion, nothing on his life.. Not cool.
4- The past 3 episodes didn't make any sense tbh and we're a bit disrespectful. I mean come on, we've watched 8 seasons of this show!!!!
