I can finally comment on this thread! Started binge watching during season 4. Figured I would at some point, so I avoided this thread. Didnt know where the books ended.
Was disappointed in how rushed the final season was. They had one hell of a hiatus, looked like they finished this project without one. The biggest casualty being Daenerys (and all the kids named after her) I could see her leveling a city in revenge for what was done to her, and her family. Just not being written as so spur of the moment. Would have liked to have seen a slower descent into madness.
I liked how Arya smoked the Night King (so, so battle) how Bran became King, and Bronn became master of coin. Bronn reminded me of a character you would find in an early Guy Ritchie movie.
Will miss the epic quality to this show, wont miss the long waits between seasons.
