Game Of Thrones Season 7 FINAL episode POLL up

[S.Peelman]

Solid episode, nicely wrapped up some loose ends and answered some questions that had risen during this season. Also nice set-up for the next season, even though it was predictable. Best thing was that this episode felt a bit more grounded again, for a moment I feared they'd teleport to the wall after the King's Landing meeting. Not much action though, and not as shocking as previous finales (especially Season 6's), though my heart did stop for a very brief moment during the Cersei/Jaime part. I guess Brienne'll be happy.

Overall I feel the 7 episode-setup didn't help the season in any way because often things would feel a bit rushed, with the teleporting as a consequence, or things are left too vague. The could have definitely just filled a full 10 episode season just fine. I really hope the next season's rumoured 6 episodes aren't set in stone yet. Partly due to this, there were a small handful of "okay" episodes, but just "okay" isn't good enough for Game of Thrones. Then though it did also have one of the greatest episodes in The Spoils of War. I think Season 5 remains my least favorite, but this this season is below the last and doesn't come close to Seasons 3 and 4. A rewatch at some point may change this view though, for better or worse.
