I did fear that it would be too much to cover in one season and so it seems. The pace has been sped up, main characters have been killed off with rather unspectacular endings (Jaime and Cersei being killed by rubble felt a little bit like cheating).

Jaime's character has been increasingly growing on me, and then at a drop of a hat he is back to not caring about anyone else but his sister.

As said above, it just feels rushed.

There has always been some brutal action and gore but that was the finish to some fantastic scripts, this season it feels like the gore and action is all there really is.

I have sympathy for the writers though, finishing the story under such expectation was always going to be a massive challenge. I wonder how much input George RR Martin has had.
I don’t believe he has had that much even he said they should really do another 2 series to complete all the story lines I expect the books to go in a completely different direction but the ending won’t be far off unless they do something ridiculous next week, what’s pissed me off a bit is we’ve infested all this time in Jon boy and he’s become a bystander and Arya has become the main focus, she had way too much air time the last episode and we only seen Cersei for 2 mins and bang that’s how it ends, Jaime really should’ve killed her and I expect he willin the books even if it’s a mercy death. Now the prophecy is for Jon boy to become the prince that was promised and stick his sword through Danny’s heart. If Arya kills her it will become a pointless tv show
