Well, you're half right, sort of... I thought the finale was really good. Not as good at it could've been if this whole season weren't so pointlessly rushed, but still good. The whole scene in the throne room with Dany & Jon was fantastic, and then when Drogon showed up... wow. I liked it. People are gonna be whining about it for years, but I liked it. I was definitely satisfied with the ending. I like Bran as King, he knows what all of the previous rulers did right and wrong, and can hopefully avoid those. He also seems to be pretty neutral as far as allegiances. Just don't ask him to make any long speeches. Once they melted the throne, I thought for sure that was the end of the monarchy in Westeros. And then when Sansa declared the North an independent kingdom I thought that sealed the deal. So when they all decided that Bran should be the new king it took me by surprise. Bran has always been my least favorite character on the show, but at least they explained it in a way that made sense and almost made up for his dumb "I'm a bird boy now" storyline. His line a few episodes ago that he's "humanity's memory" not only explained why the Night King wanted him dead but also makes a pretty good case for why he'd be a good king.

"I don't want to be king. I don't want anything anymore."
"Shut up, Bran. Go listen to your whiny-ass music."
