Sansa helped tip dany over the edge and caused so much trouble and yet she is made queen of the north and given credit for northern independence? Tyrion gets away with everything he did (yes most of it was from stupidity). Arya's ending made some sense since she is just going out on her own however the show runners clearly played favorites with sansa and tyrion. Bran becomes king and everything is perfect? Hey what about the murdering/rapists horde that is the dothraki? And to me it seemed like Bran is pulling a robert in some ways. He will ignore the kingdom while he wargs. Gotta love what the show runners did. They made the last season sad and destroyed dany's character and yet  then they go full disney ending for the survivors? Well except for jon. I just don't understand what they were trying to do and am VERY happy it was over.

 

PS. and drogon lets jon go and burns the iron throne? Oh well played.

What Sansa and Tyrion did? Lol.

You're acting like as if they killed thousands of children at KL...

Dothraki should obey the king / queen of Westeros, as well as Unsullied, that was the deal.

Ummm, where is everyone getting this idea that Jon was happy among the Wildlings. He was happy being with Ygritte, not living amongst The Free Folk. Furthermore, he went to join The Night's Watch because "even a bastard can rise high". His being sent back was EXILE. Its not the "Frodo Bittersweet Ending" of sailing off to Tol Eressëa , its just "Jon Being Thrown Under the Bus Ending" of him having to go live in The Haunted Forest.

What makes you think the Ghiscari didn’t resume slaving as soon as Dany sailed out of Slaver’s Bay?

Well, she left Daario in charge (and we never heard otherwise), and without the Dothraki one of the biggest sources of producing new slaves was gone.

I would have been happier if someone could at least have said something good of Dany at the end.

We'll never get anyone saying of Dany (in show canon) that "the evil that men do lives after them so that the good is oft interred in their bones"

She will be branded as a complete monster through the centuries, and her role in smashing the slave trade and saving the world will be ignored.

Not sure about liberating the slave cities, but I'd like to think the battle vs the dead and her important role/sacrifices fighting in it would be documented.

Only Stark kid still in touch with his direwolf? :)
Apparently Ghost is happiest north of the wall.

I'm sure Jon is perfectly happy too alongside his adorable ball of fur.

Arya is never going to see anyone she loves ever again even if she doesn't die at sea apparently.

Gendry is doomed to become Robert V2

Because of hopelessly loving the Stark girl with the wolfblood who never loved him? 

Yes, probably. Unrequited love has many a tragedy engendered.

Jon ended up where he belonged.  In Episode 4 Tormund told him he would be happier in the North too.  Jon told him he wished he was going with him and Ghost. Tormund emphasized Jon had the North in him.....the REAL NORTH.  So I really don’t see this as punishment for Jon.  This is always where he really wanted to be.

Arya loved him but his legitimisation tore them apart. Duty is the death of love being the theme.

But we know he ends up like Robert because they repurposed Robert's dialogue

'Nothing means anything if I'm not with you'

'Seven kingdoms couldn't fill the hole she left behind'

 

And his costume in this episode with the claw scratches on it. A wolf got to him.

Nobody likes to live north of the Wall. Even the show wildlings wanted to go south to have a better life (see hardhome ep for ex).

Jon having to kill the woman he loves because she becomes crazy and then being exiled into the NW for it is awful. If they have jon break his vows to the NW in order to leave with the wildlings it is a complete assassination of his character-

Absolutely! I cannot fathom why people are grasping onto this idea that Jon's ending was anything other than bitter. It was not remotely bittersweet, let alone this inane notion it was a happy one. He was happy lying in Ygritte's arms, not living amongst the Wildlings.

I feel I must ask a question on this. Were the Wildlings really looking for a better life south of the Wall as opposed to just flee their homeland and escape the White Walkers? People thinking the grass is greener on the other side and then finding out that it wasn't so isn't unheard of in my experience.

Is there really even a NW anymore? I have always thought that he was happiest in the North with the freefolk.  I rewatched that final scene several times  and basically all I saw at Castle Black were the wildlings and Tormund.  There were the two men that escorted him to CB but were they northmen or wildlings?   When he looked back at the gate I took it as him closing the door on that chapter of his life.

See from min 1:50. The deal is literally they give the wildlings lands in the gift for them to have a better life and they  fight against the ww…

 Tyrion basically says they need a place to send bastards and criminals so the NW will exist. This is the place that tyrion and bran send jon for killing danny...

If that is true then why would he tell Tormund in Episode 4 that he wished he was going with him and Ghost?

Heh, I feel vowbreaking is a central part of Jon's character ;)

If he had some porpuse to give meaning to his life I could see it as being a bittersweet ending. Him being exiled into the useless NW or him breaking his vows to leave with the wildlings is awfull.

If that is the case then they need to get busy and staff the place because it looks like everyone left and deserted the place.
