The death of that dragon was BS. How did Dany not see any of the ships from her aerial advantage? Why did neither dragon open fire on them. The way Euron was able to obliterate those ships was ridiculous. The ships had no defense or offense? Really?
Well if you're looking for a historical precedent, feudalism came to end not from some sudden political revolution but through a gradual process as increasing urbanization and commercialization drained wealth and power away from the hands of aristocratic landowners and into those of the newly formed middle class of wealthy merchants, craftsmen, and financiers. In the show, these elements have already been in place since the beginning, since the Westeros we have seen is far more technologically advanced and connected with the outside world through trade and cultural exchange than medieval Europe ever was. We have been show repeatedly that scions of noble houses more often than not turn out to be worthless nitwits, and that power hungry commoners are effectively in control of most of the day to day affairs of the realm, since the great lords can't be bothered to do anything else but squabble among each other. I feel like the story is heading toward Jon ultimately ending up on the Iron Throne, but being the type of guy who never wants to upset anyone, he'll basically rule by letting everyone do whatever the hell they want. In time this would eventually evolve into a constitutional monarchy, with the real power in the hands of industrial oligarchs just like in our timeline.
There are leaks of those actors filming a scene with Tyrion at the Dragonpit, purportedly to be Tyrion's trial and subsequent execution. Not so far-fetched unless it's one of the fake endings that were reportedly filmed. Plus, the North, Iron Islands and already want or consider themselves independent kingdoms. It's not too big a stretch that the show ends with Westeros doing away with the centralizing power of the Iron Throne. Especially if King's Landing is reduced to ashes.

So eagle-eyed viewers noticed the friggin' Starbucks cup left on the table circa minute 17 in the episode last night. Even the editors can't be arsed anymore with this show. All hail Jon Snow, the White Wolf, King in Da Norf, Drinker of Pumpkin Spice.

Yeah, never watched it.
GOT I binged this year just because I "knew" it was ending. I generally like fantasy and swords and magic and shit
This is probaly the first multi season show i've watched TBH. I relaly don't generally like TV shows
I didn't like it nearly as much as other people... but this season is just... odd. Just feels like something is off.
Still not as bad as that Sandsnake stuff though. Yeesh

It's true, I feel like a lot of TV shows just don't have a long term plan. Some just hide it a lot better than lost did. But even then while not perfect some shows had some pretty solid endings. I remember thinking that the ending of The Strain was surprisingly satisfying, same with The aforementioned The Wire, and Deep Space 9.

Also if D&D had properly adapted Dorne, The Greyjoys, and more of the northern houses they would have had enough material to get at least 3 more full seasons, plus that would have given time for GRRM to at least get most of Winds of Winter done so D&D could draw more info from that book. Something I think GRRM wanted. But D&D was like nope. They could have had a truly epics TV series.
