I feel very ambivalent about it. There was parts of this last season I loved, parts I was absolutely not in love with and parts that just left me “meh†about. Clearly rushed so D&D could go play with Star Wars, and that’s reprehensible and I hope HBO and others in the industry remember what they did.
There was disservice to characters and there was great service to characters.
The documentary The Last Watch was amazing and I enjoyed that possibly more than the last two episodes. The effort put in by the cast and crew was ultimately shat on by D&D.
I will watch the prequels, and I really really wish there was an Arya spin off. Possibly a Jon spin off as well.
I will definitely get the books read in readiness for the last books coming out - GRRM has had a fabulous focus group for those books he is writing.
@DynamoHum , thank you for answering my question. I respect your views. I enjoyed reading
@TigerLily 's take on GoT.
@Spookcat has remained wordless on her viewpoint. So what do you say Ms
@Spookcat ?
Season 8, episode 1 & 2 were enjoyable. After watching Episode 3 –I was no longer ambivalent about GoT’s Season 8. The greatness of Got was ancient history.
Episode 3 to 6, D&D were noted as the writers. D&D decided to completely ignore logic, common sense, and character arcs just to put the show behind them as quickly as possible.
Episode 2 was written by D&D’s coffee boy, Bryan Cogman.
When Weiss and Benioff snapped up Cogman as their own assistant, they set up shop in a dingy suite of now demolished offices on the former Pickford-Fairbanks Studios lot and asked the guy who thought he was just there to fetch lunches where they should start.

I have not watched the documentary
The Last Watch. I cannot endure watching D&D being praised. IMO-- Benioff aka Friedman is one of those rich kids who has a strained relationship with their parents. He does not have talent and he has issues.
After reading your comment, I may watch it. I am not a nitwit. I am aware that the cast and crew performed amazing work on Season 8. All my dislike is directed to D&D.
GRRM is not a rich man’s son. He is a brainy one.
