I'm not mad about where any of the characters ended up.
How they got there...
Yep.
And for me, that meant this final episode--unlike the final season--was fairly satisfying.
I'll maintain that far too may characters survived the battle with the White Walkers--Brienne, Greyworm, and Jaime all should have gotten offed in the battle, along with maybe Davos and Sam as well--which left too many strings. But given that reality, things were tied up as best as they could be, imo.
Dany had to die and Jon was the right person to do it. And Drogon flying away was far more satisfying than having to kill him, having Jon take over for Dany, or having Bran warg into him. That whole sequence felt right to me. Similarly, sending Jon north--back to Ghost and Tormund--also felt right.
Then there's Sansa refusing to "bend the knee" to anyone (fully supported to Arya, who also sets Yara straight), Brienne finishing out Jaime's history, Tyrion being made Hand essentially as punishment for all of his mistakes, and Arya sailing off into the unknown. All good stuff, with plenty of great lines..."You Master of Grammar now, too?"
Bran as king is okay with me, it's just that--consistent with the tweet above--he doesn't seem to
really earn it, at least as far as what everyone can see. But that's a failure of previous episodes, imo.
