This season may have been a dud but it was a solid 7 seasons of entertainment.

I just finished it. I liked the last episode despite some warts. The biggest wart being bran sitting the throne.
The last season totally sucked though.

So there's this post on reddit that deconstructs the Lightbringer myth to make the case that it is Jon. Basically the myth says that AA first tries to temper the sword in water and it breaks (The fight vs White Walkers), then he plunges his sword into a lion's heart and it breaks (Cersei), and finally he stabs the sword into his love Nissa Nissa which works (Jon killing Danny).
My gripe with this is that Jon didn't really have a lot to do with the first two fights, and the end result was the Jon just ends up exiled north of the wall, so there's no resolution for him really, but it kind of works. The legend is that he's the prince who was promised, not the king, so eh.

Jon is the next night king; CONFIRMED.
Season 7 was an abomination. Season 6 was the best one, IMO.

Season two or three are the highlight seasons for me.
The thing that made GOT really work was its cast of interesting characters, including a number of the more peripheral characters. In the last season, the focus was on the main characters and wrapping up the plot. I don't think the writing was that bad per se. I think that so many interesting characters were killed off and sub-conflicts resolved by this season, that we were just left with a thinner cast and fewer story lines. So then they turned up the cinematic production in order to compensate--making it less story and more effects.

Im sitting here going WTF was that....
1. Im seriously cracking up over the fact that tyrion went into the basement to find dead jamie, not because he died, but the fact that two steps away there was a torally unharmed dragon skill with no bricks anywhere near it. Could have just stood around there and nothing would have happen. Actually literally the only place with bricks in the room was on jamie and cercies body lmao!
2. Somehow all the riders and unsullied have been replenished. After the nightking destroyed nearly everyone.
3. Jon stabs and killl danny and then gets imprisoned because wormtongue wants to follow the laws of the land. Lmao! You cant make this bulllshit up!
4. Bran the ****ing broken who didnt want to be lord of winterfell for some ****ing reason really wants to be the king now. Lmao!!the same ****ing guy who said he is nobody and doesnt want any power.
5. Jon is sent to the nights watch despite the fact that the nightking is gone and there is literally no ****ing need left for the crows to even exist. A place for bastards? Like wtf is this. You cant make this **** up.
I can go on and on, this entire season has been “im tired of doing this ****, lets wrap this **** up, throw **** at the wall, hope it sticks.”
An absolute disaster.

I think they were going for some kind of poetic closure. The first episode focuses on the Starks, as do the final scenes. The first episode opens with people from the nights watch getting attacked in the woods by the undead. So they went back to the same woods to show that the thread was gone and the wildlings were going to start anew.... Etc.
But yeah, once the Unsullied have taken off to Narth, I'd expect John to be pardoned by Bran so he can head back to Winterfell.

It was terrible. So disappointing that it’s unbelievable.

Seriously, it’s season 4 without a doubt for me.
Tyrion’s defense speech was epic. He absolutely crushed that scene.
Joffrey biting it.
Littlefinger tossing that one broad out the moon door.
The apparent defeat of the Mountain only for him to overtake the arrogant Red Viper, gouge out his eyes and crush his head. Epic.
Tyrion offing his pops on the *****er.
Arya leaving the Hound for dead.
And many of these moments defined the most meaty parts of the show: Tyrion’s brilliance, the Hound and Arya relationship which was my favorite dynamic in the show, the Mountain’s pure power, and twists.

I think they did that to leave opening for a spinoff at some future point. A totally undocumented, uncharted land, and perhaps Arya would be the only returning character among a totally new cast and new writers.

I thought it was fitting that with the start the Starks had, that they now control essentially all of Westeros. Bran king of the 6 kingdoms, Sansa Queen of the North, Jon is essentially the king beyond the Wall, and Arya discovering what’s west of Westeros. Karmic, almost.
