For all its faults show has not jumped the shark with me yet, but if this standard was continued over another 2or3 seasons, yea, no way would I be there at the end.

Read a review that crystallized my thoughts perfectly.

What in the world is the reason that marrying Jon and Dany isn't a good solution? Varys complaining that Dany will wear the pants isn't very convincing. Somehow assassination is better?

The dragon getting owned by the Night King was cool, this dragon dying was pretty lame

instead they survive the great war vs literally death and everyone is just back at it like it's a regular monday or something

I think this was foreshadowed in the celebration scene where everyone was talking about how awesome Jon was riding the dragon while they basically ignored Dany. Jon is the true ruler, both in terms of birthright and temperament, and that drives Dany crazy. So they could never work as married king and queen. She'd probably want to have him killed.

The ridiculous promotion of Gendry to be lord of Storm's End, followed by them talking about how clever it was, was like this too. Not only is he comically unqualified, he's also the strongest claimant to the Iron Throne! It was even a plot point in both the books and the show that Cersei had Robert's bastards killed to protect against their claims.

they brought it up in the show -- how did anyone miss this?

Tyrion mentioned the possibility, then Varys said that in the north, jon marrying his aunt would not be looked upon kindly. "Is marrying your aunt common in the North?"

Do we know for sure that the second dragon is dead? I only ask because I recall Cersei saying something like "are u sure" and Euron acting all cocky and being like "yeah i saw it fall into the ocean"

The viewer had already watched it happen - but maybe it was just designed to make Euron look good in Cersei's eyes. It obviously wasn't place strategically on the ground and in front of the giant dragon killing crossbows like Drogol or whatever its name is...so assume its dead.

Jon v Dany doesn't end well for Dany who is already showing to be more mad queen than savior of the masses.

I think the mountain is still on her list too. My guess is that hound/mountain fight, hound gets mortally wounded, Arya sees this, leaves hound to die (foreshadowed in this episode) and then kills mountain. Cersei is prophesied to die at the hand of “the younger brother”. Jamie is the younger of the twins.

Agreed on the Dany/Jon conflict.

Jon should join Tormund north of the wall and become a lumberjack.

The ships were hiding behind the island? and Dany is not the smartest when it comes to tactics. Super believable scene.

if i were to complain it would be when they showed the ship's mast pole tipping over into the water directly at the viewer right after Tyrion is shown swimming there, but it didnt hit anybody I guess.

Anyway the good news is that the coffee cup has now been determined to be from a local shop and not from Starbucks so former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz definitely has no claim to the Iron throne. Whew, too many claimants as is.

How about Jamie kills Cersei and Arya puts on Cersei's face to surrender peacefully without any further bloodshed? Heard this idea on a podcast today and I kinda love it.

She can sneek into a wood so crowded a normal person would have to push through ranks and ranks of undead, so she does not need to wear a face.

Or she would just find a tunnel.

What would be the point to wear her face once she is dead? The war is instantly over once she's gone.

Well, she couldn't see the Starbucks cup, so that's foreshadowing.

Did anyone catch that the girls that went over to Tormund and The Hound were prostitutes sent by Sansa?
