Haven't seen a more spectacular Heel Turn then when Hulk Hogan joined the nWo at WCW's Bash at the Beach in 1996...and I don't even watch Wrestling.

Just like the Star Wars cartoons. And SWOTR being sacrfied at the altar of monetary avarice for Exceptional A****hats to cannibalize at their leisure

It was one of the few things I was ok with. Maybe not Jaime being there.. but it's a pretty terrifying death. I would rather be stabbed by an enemy.
The last 3 eps have pretty much bulldozed all previous character dev. I'm waiting for the reveal that Jon is in fact the Night King.

That would be a good twist. Him being king and everything ending in a peaceful way is too typical
While the plot is all over the place and the character development not actually occurring on screen (or at all), my biggest complaints of this season mostly have to with the abandonment of the pretense that there are any laws of physics in this world.
Every time a dragon breathes flame, it's like a tactical nuke hit a building. The flames can't be hot enough to be instantly exploding stone or mortar and the force of whatever the hell the gout of fuel is shouldn't be knocking over fortifications without so much as a hint of recoil. And where the hell is all this flammable bile or saliva or venom or whatever coming from anyway? I haven't seen such mysterious quantities of fluid outside of bad or great horror-comedy.

I think it's quite clever really. Given that we only have 1 more episode to go, if you kill off all the main characters at least you won't have to pay them redundancy money.
[Spoilers]I don't know... Season 7 was so frickin awesome and they built up a sensational climax towards the ending of s7. S8E3 was a little...all over the place. And much of it didn't make sense. Why was Arya the one that killed the Night King? Should've been Jon. And Bran... What part does he even play in this?
It all felt too messy.
Same with E5. It took Dani one dragon to completely decimate the entire city. Why didn't she do that in S7 then? Or E4?
Much of S8 feels like a rushed ending just because it HAS to end. Everything feels forced.
[/spoilers]
Still love it though.

I was waiting for her to say the baby was a lie and he kills her
Yeah. The main issue with all this is that the deaths no longer make sense. Who lives and dies, wins or loses, no longer depends on the their character or skills - it only depends on who gets to wear the plot armour. D&D suck.
Nah, he forgot to put a cliff wall between his ships and the sunrise... classic newbie error. He got lucky last week.
Which is nothing unusual in this episode, or season tbf.
As others have said, it feels rushed. Part of me wishes they'd waited for GRRM to finish, but on the other hand, I wanted to see it before I die...
