So little time left. So much time wasted.

Season 8 only has 6 episodes. I heard each would be over one hour to make up for the fewer episodes, but that was not true. Episodes 1&2 have been one hour each.

AND ... No one died (except that stupid kid we saw once). Two hours of reunions and dragon roller coaster rides.

The only good moments were the knighting of Brienne and Sansa's reunion with Theon (that felt real to me).

You have a collection of some of the greatest characters ever written and some of the finest actors in the world, and D&D have no idea what to do with them.

Has Tyrion sucked for a few seasons? YES, because they don't know what to have him do.

What have the following excellent characters done lately? The Hound, Davos, Sir Jorah, Missandei, Varys? Nothing. Background extras.

My hopes were sky high for Season 8, but I can see that disappointment is on the horizon.

Everything that happened in this episode was stuff that needed to happen.

But it didn't have to all be done in the same episode, one after the other as if they were just going through a checklist of things to do. That's the point.

If they had planned ahead better and had Bran be in season 5, and not wasted so much time with filler in season 6 with Arya, and had season 7 be 10 episodes then many of the things that happened here could have happened a bit more naturally and over several episodes.
