Its like Dany going mad. I get that, they have dropped little hints and clues along the way she can have a darker side to ruling. And I have no problem with her going batshit mass murderer crazy. But the bells were ringing, city was hers, and all that was left was Cersei in the Keep. Was it because Cersei had her best friend servant executed? Dany was the breaker of chains, freed slaves and all. But one servant head is chopped, she kills 100s of thousands of innocents? Makes no sense. At least throw something in there that when the bells were ringing, some hidden away scorpions appear shooting at her, and then she snaps. Something, but another example of cramming to finish the show.

Bran's storyline since Hodor was so anti-climatic. The only purpose he has served was to be bait for the NK, thats it. This episode I was hoping perhaps when Euron was looking up at the clouds, he would see millions of ravens coming at them to distract the scorpions as Dany flew in to blow them up. That would have been so much better and made her attack believable considering just before 5 scorpion shots hit one of her dragons 3 times killing it, where this episode literally dozens of scorpions couldnt hit once.

Bran needed to validate the marriage of Raehgar and Lyanna.   But your reference to Hodor's death reminds me of when everything was still "working" with the script and the drama was great. The North was still "mysterious." 

I am with you on Dany. It doesn't make sense that the queen who imprisoned her dragons because they killed a kid and then freed the slaves now burns a city of women and children--accomplishing her father's mission, destroying her own keep and throne hall and capital.

I am a little disappointed in how quickly the Night King went down too.  Still, the first six seasons were fantastic. 

On the positive side, I am a little curious now as to how this will play out.  Dany's got to kill Jon, I think.  Will the directors let her do that?
