The Iron Throne (S08E06)

A decent and very conservative ending to the most controversial season. This time, paradoxically, without a moment of surprise, as everything is at least intuitively clear. Compared to the other episodes, the pacing is surprisingly sterile and deliberate, in a similar vein to the farewells in Lord of The Rings – it is possible that the inspiration came from there. That is, to pay homage to all the key figures and to appear just on the edge of sentimentality, lightness and seriousness. (21/05/2019)

In the end, a fairly satisfying, very literary ending. About balance and the importance of stories. You can tell that Martin has already thought up the ending and is just writing down the paths that lead there and, as the screenwriters have found out for themselves, its no easy task. When he finishes writing it, I’ll read it. (20/05/2019)

Well, I've finally reached the end of the series, and the biggest plus is that it put an end to Mr. Benioff and Mr. Weiss's misery. The conclusion felt like a cop-out, bringing the story back to square one — a weird king ruling, with an advisor who doesn't want to be one, and some characters ending up right back where they started (seriously, what's the deal with the Wall?).
