That Night King song is really good; makes me even more pissed with how they dispensed with the character.

They actually did it; they saved the worst for last. Frankly I don't see how anyone who is more than a casual viewer of GoT would like the finale.

That Atlantic article really gets it, and also makes great point regarding the arcs of other characters.

So on Dany being the mad queen. I, and probably many other people on the internet being chafed at the prospect of Dany ending up like her father don't really have a problem with the final outcome - it would make for an interesting character, and what personify what Martin refers to the conflict with...

I'm kind of grateful it's bad in a way that makes me laugh. I probably couldn't afford to be angry at this trainwreck.

That was pretty dumb alright.
