I remember rooting for the starks from day 1 and I am actually happy about how the show ended with Jon being finally free and riding with the wildlings. I kind of laughed when they chose Bran as king, but that grew on me later on as it was the only way to achieve peace in the six kingdoms.
I just wish that they showed more conversation and reactions in the episode. The time jump from Dany's death to the dragon pit gathering disappointed me. I wanted to see the expression on everyone's face when they knew about Jon killing Dany. There was so much left untold and so many loose ends. I do wish there is a sequel in the making, not just prequels, maybe following Arya the explorer.
Apart from that, the episode was emotional. I cried a couple of times and I wished I could express my feelings like Drogon. The acting was excellent and the CGI, music, costumes and the settings were spot on. The episode had amazing frames and scenes. I loved seeing Drogon rise from the ashes. Oh, and Drogon's wings spreading behind Daenerys... genius! I loved that so much. I'm glad it was jon who killed Dany, and not Arya. Jon never deviated from his character and was righteous till the end, even when he killed her. On the other hand, Sansa becoming the queen in the north was absolutely well deserved. She defended her people and did what's right for them. She always sought council as a warden and that will make her a great queen.
Even though this season was somehow rushed, it is still the end of an amazing and extraordinary tv series that we all enjoy and love. The final season could've been better, but this is what we have and I love it. Thank you, Game of Thrones family. This was an honour.
