The last season has sucked, but I don't particularly have an issue with how they ended it.

This imdb chart from the Ringer is quite the indictment of the last season.
If you had to guess the seven best episodes of the series, most people would get about five of them. According to the chart, in some order (sometimes not the actual names of the episodes):
Battle of Blackwater;
Red Wedding;
Hardhome;
Hold the Door;
Battle of the Bastards;
Cersei blows up the Sept of Baelor;
Loot Train.
There are three to four episodes from Season 4 that look like they're rated pretty closely to Hold the Door and Blackwater. I felt Season 4 was the Game of Thrones peak, though Season 6 came really, really close.
Regarding the last season, only one episode was rated on the level or a bit higher than any episode from any other season -- episode 2 which barely edges out the episode when Sansa was raped.Last edited by Color Me Badd Fan; 05-23-2019, 07:36 AM.Part of it is based on academic grounds.

Woah, that is pretty telling.Originally posted by Color Me Badd Fan View Post
This last season was like what would happen with me at times when writing a pointlesss undergrad paper in college. I’d reach the word or page count and just shove out a hurried ending and conclusion.
It’s a shame. Still, what an amazing series.Comment

This reminds me what fantastic episodes there were in this series. Spine tingling moments all throughout-- when Jaime loses his hand, when Bran gets pushed, Cersei blowing up the Sept-- exciting television done right. I think the ending was just fine. Rushed and diluted, but appropriate. An example of a bungled ending is Dexter. That was the biggest crime of that whole series."I'm anti, can't no government handle a commando / Your man don't want it, Trump's a bitch! I'll make his whole brand go under,"Comment

I never bothered with Dexter. The Hollywood portrayal of the sociopath/psychopath often annoys me. Is it pretty awesome?Originally posted by Commando View PostComment

Here's another list that actually ranks the episodes. As it turns out, The Door and Blackwater are tied with four episodes from Season 4. Of the final five episodes of Season 4, three were rated at 9.7 and one was 9.6. The last half of season 4 was fantastic. They mislabeled The Lion and the Rose, that's the episode where Joffrey dies.

The first couple seasons were amazing peaking with the John Lithgow season. After that it was flaming turd. Worst ending ever. It was so awful and a complete WTF. It made the Lost ending seem brilliant in comparison.Originally posted by frank ryan View Post"Nobody listens to Turtle."-TurtlesigpicComment

^ pretty much. I loved Dexter during its heyday. I think I caught the first couple seasons binge-style online, and then stayed current all the way through the end. I didn't think I'd like it, but then couldn't get enough. It's got humor, fun dialogue, amazing production value, and suspense. Even with the *true* dumpster fire of an ending (they switched out all their writers at some point toward the end. It was so. bad. GOT fans are spoiled if they think anything in GOT resembles a dumpster fire), I still consider it one of my favorite series.Originally posted by Surfah View Post"I'm anti, can't no government handle a commando / Your man don't want it, Trump's a bitch!

Ran through this in a week or two back in May when I had the Rona. Once or twice an episode I would literally laugh out loud that we banned a regular good poster because he posted a spoiler to a show that was okish 1-6 and absolute shit 7-8. Tyrian is awesome.Get confident, stupid

As a non-GOT watched I don’t know where or when then all is supposed to take place. But isn’t it …well…a make believe land with dragons and trolls and stuff?Originally posted by Maximus View Post

It seems pretty easy to ignore to me. Since none of its real.
