I really enjoyed the last episode, it was a spectacular bit of TV - I saw one reference saying the scene where the dragon burns down the gate with the Golden Company in front of it involved setting 21 stuntmen on fire, the most ever in the history of film and TVin one scene. Yes, the pacing is a bit rushed, especially as the early part of the series really allowed characters to develop but they have to finish it and Daenrys going mad and Jamie returning to Cersei isn't a stretch too far ( you could see where they were going with the dragon queen last series). There was also a very touching powerful scene between Jamie and Tyron when he released him and said he was the only person who didn't treat him as a monster when Jamie had done so many evil things in the past.

It would have been more satisfying to conclude the series over 10 episodes but I don't understand the internet "hate" for the last episode, it really was spectacular TV
