The last episode to come .............

^^ Exactly. It is just a show and for entertainment purposes.
Just watch enjoy and if it ends the way it ends then so be it. As if hollywood hasnt disappointed peoples expectations before even if those who are saying "Ive wasted the past 9 years of my life watching this and it is ending like this!?" Oh well.

On a better note
The nights king came out with a farewell video to arya in a music ballad.

Enjoy before the final episode is out and ruins everybodies expectation on how the show should of ended.

Their show was a little bit off when season 8 was aired. Actors and actresses expressed their thoughts about the ending on their interviews. Emilia sarcastically saying that this is the best season ever. Kit tells the interviewer that the ending was disappointing.

If this would be the decision of the producer of the show, having another 5 seasons that would be cool to me. MY GOD, Cersei died because of rocks after all this time of her torturing people this how she ends lol. Also, George RR Martin said that they forgot how to write a show. LOL. Hahahah, although for some people GOT season 8 is disappointing. For me it's still cool and fun to watch.

There was something from watching these fans reactions one after another after another in which one stuck out at me for some reason as to why she did what she did.
Daenerys did what she did at kings landing as she saw she can only rule out of fear and not being merciful to her enemies and yes she viewed all of kings landing and their entire populace as her enemy even if they surrendered she knew they wouldnt abide with her taking it over because the people who fled from neighboring towns and villages where all coming there to be protected by her enemy cersie. So she viewed them all as siding with the enemy and so were willing to accept the same fate as her if the queen lost this war.
She had a feeling her grasp of taking it over was fading with her advisors turning against her and even jon not believing in her. So she felt alone in the world as the last targaryn as it was said by several other characters over the span of these past seasons. "It must be a terrible feeling." as said to jon by the maestar at the wall.
At the moment where daenerys made the decision to torch the entire city she was probably thinking she would not be able to rule the inhabitants there. And it would make more sense to just take back the city or what was left of it and start a new with loyal subjects and not have anybody from the old kings landings populace try and usurp her from the throne in defiance.
You have to remember where she started from nothing and if you watch her actions from the previous episodes she had to burn those who stood in her way or she would of never even reached it to where she ended up in the last episode.

I think this was the video which explained what she did was what she was intended to do since she wanted to make it to sit on the iron throne.

Even though it was unacceptable to many who watch the show. But then again.. It is just a show.

Wow, my favourite series has just released. I always look forwards to another series when the first series is complete.

What would you feel if your "right-hand maiden" Misandei, has been killed in front of you brutally?
What would you feel if your feeling betrayed by those around you?
What would you feel ever since in season 1 you are being belittled?

I think Dany has reasons to do that but killing innocents? Maybe that's just what drove the line. A line that could never be uncrossed.

Can't wait for the next episode.

I guess we have different definitions of madness.
Anyway, SHE IS MAD !

Even though Daenerys has the bloodline of the mad king, that does not mean that she will be also mad in the show. Daenerys is not mad why? Here are my reasons.

1. Daenerys is soft on innocents.
I know that she killed many innocents on the latest episode but look at the show as a whole. She freed slavery on Essos, she even does not want to hold the whip for the unsullied to follow her. It's by their choice if they want to follow her. No wonder she had many supporters and advisors. Even the person that truly serves the realm itself, Varys supported her. Although, there were some thoughts of Varys that John Snow could be the best king they will have and by that that's treason and he was burned alive. Well you can't really blame him. She chose to break the wheel and free the world from tyrants. And she does not plan on destroying the whole city of king's landing. The death of her Rhaegal, Misandei, treachery of Cersei seize the anger on her. Daenerys is not mad, she's just angry for her enemy. Let me put it into this, what if someone kills your child, will you drive yourself to madness? Probably for a short time but once you killed your enemies it's time to stop that madness.

2. There are always second chances for Daenerys.
Tyrion let Daenerys down many times but Daenerys gave him a lot of chances to prove his service. There was a time in which Daenerys suspects Varys as when he was asked by her to whom what he really serves. She gave a second chance but after the treason he committed he was killed. On her time to Merine, she even gave the culture of having fighting pits. Jorah Mormont, he betrayed Daenerys but she gave him second chance to serve her again.

3. She has a brother that is not mad and likes to help poor people.

^^ I totally respect what you are saying because it is a story which has to end tragically because this is how it started out. Showing how a families bloodline progresses throughout several years whether it be the starks which almost become extinct as comparison to the targaryns which came down to the very last one living becoming what her lineage brought her out to be in the end.
This was the story whether people like it or not. We have what it is and all these people complaining it isnt what they thought it would be should question if their life is what it turned out to be.
The answer most of the time would certainly be no because nobody has a perfect life and so this story should not be either.

The story she's the daughter of the Mad King and becomes insane here self.... works fine AF for me, I love the story/story lines, what I didn't like was the hollywood melodrama stepping in between Khaleesi and John, they make it to obvious he's in love and she is mis using him to benefit here self....

What could have been different was that the Nightking fight has some expansion of episodes like 3-----5 or something before defeat, I agree Cercei didn't help out and would be next to defeat, or the other way around as the Nightking was the harder one to defeat maybe....

Then in the scenario we have got, they should have entered as a true couple Khaleesi and John, and John had to let the people know he's the King after the Nightking defeat ..... as a true couple with not one second thought of Khaleesi doing what she did, only then we would have had a true GOT worthy twist in that epic battle episode, what I still think was a masterpiece of an episode, also the kingslayer fight and not the NO drama of who was going to kill Cercei and must of been a key personage .... that are things that I really like....
Of-course some story lines doesn't go as many predicted, but asside the Nightking fight that I didn't like cause it was to fast and not very well thought imo I don't think there is further to much wrong, as I write I would think things could of been better, but then again i'm enjoying it this way as well.

Definitely it is the worst season ever. Have you seen the interview of Emilia Clarke together with the actor of Grey Worm and the actress of Missandei? Emilia said that "best season ever" in a sarcastic way. Well that's true, this does not end well I think.

^^
Yeah you heard that here on the thread from me.

I think no matter what you do, you cannot please anybody. Especially from writing an epic series and rushing the last season to the end.

I heard that there is a bonus episode after the upcoming episode.

Worst season ever

Yes of course it's way too fastpaced with not enough time to explain important stuff , by that taking away the magic that made GOT beforehand.
But i don't agree with you that Arya should've killed cersei , but the NK getting killed by Jon is something i would agree on that was only done by Arya because it's surprising according to "Dabbit".
There's also the thing that the Show doesn't really have any real protagonists and everybody can do bad stuff/good things so basically things can be grey and not just black or white / bad or evil
that's why i had sympathy for Cersei in the last Episode. The most annoying and unsatisfying thing was the whole Nightking Arc and the White Walkers for me , there just wasn't any real conclusion to it no purpose just bad writing...

^^
There has been quite a bit of backlash at the writing of this season.
This guy pinpoints out the flaws which has happened in the past two episodes and how they are writing the finale rushing just to end the series without any point to it.

While this one is kind of accepting how it ended up to this point in the story. But he doesnt blame any of the show runners because he knows they cant please everyone while martin is not the type to have everything endup the way the audience expects how the show ends.

While a popular youtube channel just says it is downright awful and how critics are just bashing it on rotten tomatoes.

What I say is. You either like it or you hate it.
