I don't want to rant or complain about this episode or series. I just wanted a good end to a great show. It's honestly heartbreaking to see this show end with such mediocrity.
I hoped it would never happen to the show, but it did. This show had been so superior in writing for the longest time and now it's just cutting corners for the sake of setting up some cool shots or dramatic takes, and it's an extreme disservice to not only the loyal fans but GRRM himself. I've tried to excuse it for the last couple of episodes, but this is not the Game of Thrones that I've loved for the longest time. I thought Game of Thrones was better than choosing shock-factor over actual storytelling, but I was wrong. I truly hope others can enjoy the new direction the show is taking, and if you do, then you are extremely lucky and I hope it lives up to your expectations. Sadly, however, I am not one of them. I'm sorry this is how it is ending, GRRM, because I don't think this is what you'd have wanted.
Logic is completely out the window. All the character development over the last decade is utterly and completely gone. I loved this show and now unfortunately I could care less. Will I finish the story out, yes but the interest has dropped massively this season. It's hot garbage at this point, which is so disappointing. The only one who deserves the throne is Ghost.
Let me just say this.
Season 5 and 7 were considered "bad" by GoT standards. Season 8 so far, and this episode in particular, are "bad" by T.V standards. This isn't a bad GoT episode, it's actually a bad episode.
You get me?
The reason i love game of thrones is how deep the conversations and interactions between characters usually are but not the case anymore! Dialogs are very simple and sometimes naive the story is going no where near what they were building towards, action scences full of Plot holes and almost feels forced to move the show toward some end, not what i would expect from this show i wasted 8 years anticipating. They have to pull some kind of miracle in the writing in the last two episodes or what once could've been the greatest tv show is doomed.

- TriviaJaime lists all his misdeeds to Brienne as his motivation for joining his sister in almost certain death; he calls her (and himself) "hateful," which he also did at Joffrey's funeral in Breaker of Chains (2014). Director David Nutter revealed that he asked Nikolaj Coster-Waldau to say something to Gwendoline Christie off-screen to get the tears rolling as he leaves. Nikolaj said "I don't love you anymore."
- GoofsDuring the feast scene at Winterfell, a modern paper coffee cup was visible in front of Daenerys. HBO released a new version of the episode two days later with the coffee cup painted out.

Cersei Lannister: If you have any last words, now is the time.
Missandei: Dracarys.
- Alternate versionsThe version that originally aired had a modern paper coffee cup visible in one of the scenes (see goofs). The scene was re-processed to digitally remove the cup (which was from a local independent coffee shop called 'Paper Cup' in Titanic Quarter, Belfast, near to the set), and only that version is now officially available.
