Warning: Game of Thrones spoilers ahead

So…what was that on Game of Thrones?

Basically, a lot happened Sunday night and it left a bad taste in many fans’ mouths. A whole lot of characters died and if you ask some fans, a whole lot of character development and seasons’ worth of world-building died as well.

In the penultimate episode of the entire series, now-Mad Queen-level Dany (Emilia Clarke) orders Grey Worm (Jacob Anderson) to destroy King’s Landing. Arya (Maisie Williams) almost-kills Cersei (Lena Headey). Not to mention, Dany had Varys (Conleth Hill) offed before the events at King’s Landing. Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) begs her to call off the plan if the bells ring at King’s Landing, but to put it lightly, she’s not here for that. When the time comes, she uses Drogon to burn everything and she’s seemingly pleased. In the midst of coming up with a plan, Euron (Pilou Asbæk) stabs Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), followed by Jaime stabbing Euron, fatally. Arya almost-dies like 500 times and somehow makes it out. Cersei and Jaime have the softest deaths ever, perishing to little fanfare.

Not the death I wanted for Cersei, but on the bright side…with her head all crushed, nobody will even notice that wig. #GoT pic.twitter.com/ErwpuBumI0

This entire season has been built on Daenerys and Tyrion acting completely out of character and I’m over it. #GameofThrones pic.twitter.com/t1n4u9tFWK

I need to believe Cersei isn’t dead. It makes no sense after all that build up over the years, that she would just die in the arms of the love of her life. The writing cannot possibly be so bad as to allow that.

Trade offs. The GRRM linked seasons/books would’ve luxuriated for like a season on Dany’s depression and isolation. D&D gave her some bad makeup and settled for explaining the rest after the show. More time for Cleganebowl (which was bad!)

Who needs character development when you have fire?
