I think most of the criticism of the ending, and of the entire season, for that matter, has been less about what's happened and more about the way it's all played out. My gripe with it isn't that it didn't end the way I expected - well, aside from the Bran thing - but that I don't think the...
Yes, such an important character that they didn't bother having him on the show for a couple of seasons. While I haven't read the books, I can see that ending working on the page, but not on screen. His character is entirely inward looking and the series didn't do a particularly good job of...
