All who are disappointed about last episode, whole season and about how show does not follow Martin's vision for the series should thank Martin. I don't understand how writer could not finish his series (did he even finished one book since show started).
I personaly don't think this season is bad. On the contrary, I realy love it. Acting is great, visual effects are great, fights are great and pace is much better (we all must agree that show tended to have very slow pace.
