The ending was fair. It was bittersweet as indicated all along. Sure, the season felt rushed and therefore the sudden changes in certain characters felt more forced and not really natural. Had they went with a normal 10 episode season I think most fans would be pleased.

But given the condensed time and storylines I get it. It was predictable though. And it did lack that shock value in the end that I was hoping for. Satisfactory? Yes. Great? No. Ultimately a great story should leave you wanting more. And wondering where they all go from here. It did that for me.

It leaves you happy that Jon and Ghost are heading North beyond the wall with Tormund and the freefolk. Jon dreamed of that since he was a boy. Sansa gets to be Queen of the North. Arya gets to see the world. Greyworm will head to Naath and live on for Missandei's loss and Tyrion will finally be able to respectfully lead as Bran's hand. We also saw Drogon fly off. Most likely to Valyria where the Targaryen's once thrived along with hordes of Dragons.

Bran the Broken will be known as Bran the Builder as Nan once told him tales as a boy. The only bittersweet aspect of it all was Jon killing Daenerys and seeing a great character arc come to a tragic end in just the matter of two final episodes. Lots of nods of respect to classical stories and historical events in GRRM's work.

Can't wait for the prequels and spin-off's.
