TeamStark and TeamDirewolves so I was pretty good with the ending. Bran was the overwhelming favorite according to the Vegas oddsmakers. I just knew he'd be the one and I wasn't crazy about the idea, other than Sansa getting her independent North. That's my favorite part, actually. An independent North. Jon ended up exactly where he was happiest. Free. And my girl Arya is off adventuring. I imagine Drogon took his mom to Valyria as Sam mentioned seeing him flying east. That's the ancestral home of the Targaryens. The series began and ended at the Wall. Nice touch.

Did not know Bran was the oddsmakers favorite so I was surprised by that though once Tyrion explained the whole he can't have kids so we won't have yet another dynasty but rather a chosen leader each time it seemed kind of logical.

Arya going off into the wild unknown was true to her character and the fact that she did not want to be a lady. Even if she had been Sansa's Hand or whatever the Queen of the North needed it would have been too constricting for her.

It seems Sansa's destiny was always to be a queen. Thank goodness NOT Joffrey's.

Loved that Bronn is Master of Coin. How funny is that.

Loved Jon and Ghost being reunited!!!! And he has gone North to be with the Free folk which is where he spent the only really happy time of his life so good for him.

My expectations were so low because I have not really enjoyed this season. I think they had to cram far too much into too few episodes and the show suffered for it. So really the finale had to be better than I was expecting :)

I am sad that it is over and I may re-watch it one day looking to see where there is foreshadowing etc...

that with 2 years and a $15k per ep budget, that the story seemed rushed, and yet dragged at times. Like when we spent 5 minutes watching Tyrion re-arrange the chairs at the table, or arguing about funding houses of prostitution. Really? We couldn't see Bran checking in on Drogon?

the entire series at some point. There are a lot of earlier episodes that have plenty of foreshadowing and I watched as many as I could before the final season started. But with a rather short final season, it did rush things. So many of the episodes are actually good as stand alone epics.

season that dealt with them aired. I really wanted the show to be a complete surprise and though I know they deviated from things a lot I would definitely have been spoiled so I am glad I did it that way. Plus I could imagine Peter or Kit or Emilia etc... while reading and that made them even more enjoyable though VERY long :)
