The main villains of GoT are the creators of this episode, i.e., David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. What have they done to this fantastic and extraordinary series! Totally disappointed.
7 seasons of character development and story telling for no reason. I really wish season 8 never happen.
Unfortunately Game Of Thrones is no longer a perfect series, its last seasons have proven that scenes of action, blood and fire are not enough for a season to consolidate good. GOT season eight episode 5 fails to turn such a beloved character into a crazy one, I feel like Daenerys wouldn't do that, but it's the crazy writers' fault that she did. Cersei had her end in a shocking way, everything in this episode is bad, Arya becomes an idiot, Jon Snow is the most hateful character of all time. But the end of Sandor and the clash between him and his brother are the only things saved from this ridiculous episode.
Why do a sloppy job with ultra fast forward of all plot timelines to move to a hurried conclusion. All this time spent(in years) cooking the perfect recipe for a potentially satisfying ending and now left with hardly any time to savor it. They should have paced it out to allow fans to mourn a minute or two for the characters they've been invested in for years. Could have been greater than it turned out to be- but folks will be asking why cut corners for the most successful show in recent years? If budget was a problem even crowdfunding would have been successful(not that HBO needs it)- such is the stature of the show.
6/10 for the visuals and only.
This episode is D&D trying to bring back the old game of thrones plot twists the way Martin did, and failing bad.
They had enough budget for 10 episodes.
They preferred to make 6 rushed hollywood action films.

- TriviaThe big fight between Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) and Euron (Pilou Asbæk) was the last scene that Coster-Waldau shot for the entire series, an emotional moment he was happy to share with Asbæk; despite playing adversaries on the show, both men have been friends for years, and worked on several projects (as both come from Denmark).
- GoofsSoldiers are ordered to shoot with the Scorpions by the command "Fire!" It does not make sense to use the word in a fictional world, where combustion weapons are not invented. The command for bow-type weapons would be "Loose!"
