This is my biggest issue with the series as a whole. The very first scene of the whole series was with the whitewalkers.
Yes, the political drama was interesting and everything, but kings and villains kept coming and going every season, but the inminent threat that there was something else bigger than them all and their petty desires and greed, was always looming on the horizon. Since the very first episode.
So it was a HUGE disappointment for me when they were dealt with at the beginning of the season, because everything after that just felt.. pointless. No sense of danger. No sense of dread. Nothing.
It felt as if, after defeating Sauron in LoTR, Aragon and the other kings had spent one more hour of movie fighting each other for Middle Earth.

The LotR did have the hobbits having to save the shire from Saruman (in the books) after defeating Sauron. I believe this is what GRRM is aiming for at the end of ASOIAF hence the end of this season. The big evil is defeated but people still have to figure out life afterwards leaving a bittersweet taste.

Figuring out life afterwards is what you do in the last 20 mins of your finale. But here we had the resolution of a main villain (and two secondary ones). The emergence of a new villain, and the resolution of said new villain.
Nah, that just doesn´t do it for me. But to each its own I guess.
