Time to draw some conclusions after the first impressions have settled.
Have you watched it again? Did you see a dozen of videos about it?
How do you think it did as the final episode of one of the most popular TV-shows of all time?

*Disappointing*
All of season 8 seemed like the writers and producers just said, "Let's wrap this up. It doesn't even have to make sense. The sooner the better."

Too many complaints. Too many questions. What a mess.

If this is how GRRM wanted to "end" the story, it's terrible.
Maybe in the book things will be answered, but it was a clusterf*ck...

Well, I literally just finished it, so I can't say how I will feel next week...
But, I guess I'm the only person in the world who thought it was excellent.

Arya trains to be a faceless assassin for 8 seasons... for nothing.
Fans speculate that R+L=J for 8 seasons... for nothing.
Jamie's redemption arc carries through 8 seasons... for nothing.
Cersei's journey to power and madness through 8 seasons... for nothing.
The Night King's Army is feared for thousands of years... for nothing.
Raisin Bran does absolutely nothing for 8 seasons... to win the Game?

Raisin Bran does absolutely nothing for 8 seasons... to win the Game? So I do actually agree with you on all of these... Arya should've been the one to kill Deny while disguised as John R+L=J. I'm not sure what this means. Jaime absolutely should've been the one to kill Cersei. Agreed. The Night King... Well, he was always kind of pointless, wasn't he? The show was always really about the Throne. Raisin Bran... Yeah. Totally random. Should've been Jon Snow. But I guess I expected them to do something like this. I really thought it would be Sansa or Davos.

Arya trains to be a faceless assassin for 8 seasons... for nothing. Dafuq? Did you miss the part where Arya single handedly avenged the Red Wedding and killed the Night King? I'd argue that was instrumental in driving Dany to madness but I have my objections to how rushed the whole thing was. He almost died defending the Stark home with half of Ned Stark sword. I wasn't particularly thrilled with him returning to Cersei but like Jaime said in this season, he had no regrets about what he had done. In fact he said he'd do it again all over. But like a true knight he was willing to die to protect everyone else. By allying herself with Euron she ended up being responsible for the death of a dragon and Missandei. It pushed Dany to the brink. They were a threat and they were defeated... You wanted them to win? Considering he didn't want to be king, I'd argue he didn't win. In fact the whole idea was about breaking the need of having to play the game. It wasn't all for nothing. It just wasn't just the way you wanted. I have my share of problems with the final season but the writers weren't under any obligation of delivering the ending you wanted.

"It's like Catelyn Stark wrote this last episode: Sansa's queen, Bran is king, Arya's doing whatever she wants to do and Jon is exiled and forgotten."

More than disappointing though perhaps not quite hate. Too rushed, sloppy/bad writing, character arcs thrown in the bin, too many unresolved issues. Forced 'happy' ending where all the Starks - except for poor Jon - get to do what they wanted all along.

I always kinda viewed it as the opposite.
National politics is meaningless when a global threat is building.
Sure the show is called "A Game of Thrones" - after the first book - but the entire series of books is called "A Song of Ice and Fire"....

Forced 'happy' ending where all the Starks - except for poor Jon - get to do what they wanted all along. I agree with everything here except the last sentence. It wasn't so much a forced happy ending, as it was an ending that didn't even make sense. It just seemed like the writers said, "We don't even care. This Game of Thrones is coming to an end. We just want out of here. Just wrap it up. It doesn't even have to make sense. Mail it in and move on."
