I understand the need to wrap some things up and set them up for next season but they should've swapped the last two sequences. Cersei sitting on the throne is way more powerful of an ending.
Absolutely agree. I was actually prepared for Cersei's scene to be the last of the season. Dany got enough season finales, Cersei's "yo bitches, you spent 6 years thinking of Dany has a queen, GUESS WHAT" would have been the best way to wrap it up since there were no White Walkers.
Can we please talk about that amazing music for the King's Landing scenes? I mean seriously, that music made some great scenes absolutely perfect.
It was wonderful and breathtaking. The best music / scene combination of the entire series, I'd daresay. Stunning work!!!!
And for the first time in the series, I somehow rooted for Cersei. I really hate that bitch and her smug face (Stunning work from Lena Headey really, I guess whenever I'll see her somewhere else I'll always expect her character to be an hateful and spiteful woman), but I couldn't help admiring how back against the wall she literally turned King Landing over itself.
Olenna Tyrell owning the Sand Snakes was priceless. The saving grace of Dorne's scenes, and just because of her presence.
I agree it's a bit weird to finally learn that Lyanna is Jon's mother but not her father, but to be fair... it was obvious who the father was. Lyanna in her dying moments didn't need to spell it out to Ned.
Winter has come. Fucking finally. Dany brings her butt to Westeros. Fucking finally. Really, the end is nigh
I didn't realize Arya was the girl until she and Walder were alone in the room. Good riddance to the Freys, the Starks send their regards. I'll forgive how Arya and Varys have a teletransporter that flies them through Westeros in no time.
Really, the only letdown of a massively epic episode is that the scene in Mereen didn't open with Dany and Yara in bed together. You know you all wanted it.
