WHY THE FUCK WOULD CASTLE BLACK EVEN BE MANNED ANY LONGER?!
The Free Folk are now allies, the Others are toast. This makes no sense. Jon is going North with Tormund and Ghost and will soon be The King Beyond the Wall in my mindustry forever.

Going back and rewatching the episode, it is really baffling. The episode was really good up to a certain point, then the ending was absolutely fucking stupid. Then I re-read this thread and all the other endings that would have been abundantly better than that shit. Another thought I had was Sir Dabos ending up on the throne, that would have been great too. It was like the writers wanted to fuck up the ending and just piss off the fans.

It's "Davos" you fucking cretin. May all your onions be moldy from here to eternity. Long live the Onion Knight!

I read an article yesterday that made a pretty good case for how the show was screwed from the beginning. GRRM has done a great job of building a world, but even he has no idea how he is going to give readers a satisfying ending. He keeps adding characters that aren't core to the story rather than moving events toward a conclusion. My thought is he will put out Winds of Winter at some point in the next few years and then spend the rest of his life working on the next book until he dies and someone else gets to finish it for him. If I were him I would be scouring all of the theories that people had for the final season pick a mix of the best ones and start writing. The show pretty much gives him a do over when he writes the book(s).

Yeah my thought is he already has where he wants to go and wanted to see what the reaction was from fans... to me if he doesn’t release WoW soon like next 6 months he risk losing a lot ... there are so many casual fans that started reading the books because of the show and are now pissed at the show and want to know how it ends... but they aren’t gonna wait like the die hard preshow folks

Wasn’t perfect, but I enjoyed it. Thought it landed in a good spot. Presumably could have benefited from 20 episodes instead of 13 to get to an ending, but that apparently wasn’t an option. Series got to a conclusion which is something the written version will not achieve.

Those of you awaiting book(s), good luck.

Before the season I was wondering how they’d get it done in six episodes. Now I wish they’d done it in four. Clearly, they could’ve pushed it out to seven or eight, but between the incessant fanboi noise and the coffee cups and water bottles, I was just glad to see it end. Overall, I’m good with where they landed. Sansa is queen of an independent North. Tyrion is running things for the other six. Dany is gone and Jon is hanging out in the North telling everyone he doesn’t want to be king beyond what’s left of the wall. My favorite part of the episode was Tyrion suckering that moron Gray Worm into sentencing Jon to the Night’s Watch which, of course, no longer exists. Arya’s Jack Sparrow ending was more than a little anti-climactic, but they wrote it, I didn’t, so fine. All good, nothing left to see.
