The Frankenstein monster (The Mountain) turned against his own creator. I had anticipated a bit more from Qyburn. But what we saw was a surprise end for him.
What do you guys think about his death and his conduct in the entirety of the last episode?

I had a light chuckle when Qyburn died that way. Just got tossed off like a fly. In terms of his conduct, he didn't really do much. He advised Cersei to retreat a couple times and then died. He was never really a character that I felt much investment in so it was fitting imo.

I found his probably the most satisfying after The Mountain. Short and sweet. He didn't really need anything dramatic, did he?
Cheapest death for me was Euron. Decides to pick a fight with Jaime for no reason and takes a gut stab. Meh.

We all thought he might die right there. But then, he barely crawls to his sword, gets stabbed again, miraculously stabs Euron --- and then finds his way all the way back to the castle, up to Cersei, back down to the exits --- by the time he and Cersie get buried, it's almost as if he wasn't wounded at all ?? Simply amazing.

What the . . . ?? When he was in Winterfell he got some of Arya's magic stab balm.

I didn’t care for it. 1. Because I liked Qyburn. 2. Because I hoped they’d reveal some kind of deception he might’ve been cooking.
I’m fine with him being destroyed by his own creation but it happened too fast.

Not every death has to be ultra-dramatic with swelling orchestral scores and teary goodbyes. People die in brutal, senseless, shitty and ridiculous ways, especially in war.
I thought it was a fitting death. Squashed like an ant by the quasi-undead monster he tortured and mutilated.

What I liked most about this episode is how undramatric a lot of the deaths were.
Really the Hound/Mountain fight was overly dramatic and largely pointless, but it was something they had to do.

I liked the Hound/Mountain fight.... I do wish that The Hound had a more of a victory than a "I'm taking you with me". Like... If he figured that the wall behind The Mountain was weak enough to breach... Then why not just push The Mountain through it? Then he could live long enough to watch The Mountain burn in the fire below. Also... Why not kill Cersei as she is walking by?

I think it is melodramatic bullshit. Doesn't matter how much adrenaline one has. You get "run through" like that, you ain't going nowhere.

This had nothing to do with the bigger fight since that was already lost and mountain wasn’t doing it to protect Cersei. it was just a hate fight although it seems the only reason Mountain would hate his brother is because he played with his toy as a kid. Hound has way more reason to hate Mountain.

I thought Qyburn's death was appropriate. I found him annoying and unimportant and then to simply be thrown by his own monster and his skull crushed was nicely done and well deserved.

It's Qyburn. Who cares? No offense, but he served his purpose.

He also knew she was done for, whether she got away or not. I also kind of liked his mannerisms here. It seemed like he mightve even liked, or at least respected Cersei a little bit. He calls her your grace. I don't recall them ever having bad terms. He had bigger fish to fry anyhow.

He was an insidious, plotting, little ass kisser. And he was kissing the right ass too. Well... until the end, that is.

I liked it. It was brutal and realistic. ( like this show used to be ) It also showed his weakness.

I thought it was a fitting death. Squashed like an ant by the quasi-undead monster he tortured and mutilated. It's interesting to note that past speculations that the mountain apparently has no free will can be dismissed now. He might even have killed Cersei if she tried to command him again. Although it was definitely implied that he had superhuman strength. Yeah, even if injured badly during his fight with Oberyn, it was still not out of bounds to believe a human can have a bust of power for a few seconds. But in his final fight he was simply impossible to kill by any number of sword slashes in any part of his body. Even a dagger in his brain didn't kill him.
