Why Game of Thrones S8EP5 has been one of the greatest episodes and idk why ya'll are pissed about it: [SPOILERS]
.

The fulfilment of all arcs have been amazing.
1. The Hound conquering The Mountain.
Just like Hodor, The Hound knew his destiny. He killed Gregor in the most suitable way possible.
2. Arya's god of death.
"And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth."
-Revelations 6: 8
This was what Arya was training for. She has seen all the faces of Death, and this is what she overcame.
3. The Twin's Destiny.
Cercei's prophesy just came true. She was "Queen for a time", and she was "cast down by a much younger, most beautiful" one. Also, her death would come from her brothers. If you notice, Tyrion & Jamie's plans went to shit because of the dragon fire, so technically she died on both her brother's hands. She also loved Jamie since they were born, and they both cared for no other. There was NO OTHER WAY FOR THEM TO DIE.
4. The Mad Queen.
Look people, Daenerys was crazy since day one. She technically killed her brother (via Khal Drogo), in S2 she told everyone she would burn cities to the ground, in S4 she fucking crucifies people IN FRONT OF EVERYONE just because she disagreed with a city SHE DIDNT EVEN HAVE CLAIM TO. Ser Barristand told her she was like her dad, Robert said it, Jamie said it, Varys, even Tyrion fucking said it. EVEN BRAN SAW THIS VISION IN SEASON 6! BRAN SAW HOW DANNY WAS GONNA BE LIKE HER FATHER WHY ARE YA'LL SO BIASED?! She burnt all of the Khals alive, she burnt the Tarlys alive, someone pls tell me, if the Lannisters kill another dragon, and Dannys best friend ON ONE GO, what is THIS person going to do? The build up was there all along.
The Mad King told her to "BURN THEM ALL".
His daughter just did just that.
4.5 [Edit cause I found them]:
S1: Dany burns down Mirri Maz Duur
S2: Dany burns down the house of Undying
S3: Dany burns down Astapor
S4: Crucifixion of Masters of Mereen
S5: Dany burns down Mereen masters
S6: Dany burns down Vaes Dothrak
S7: Dany burns down Lannisters Wagons
Yet ya'll believe Dany is good.
5. The last of the Starks.
Jon, Arya and Sansa are the only ones with a "good" morale. Arya and Sansa warned Jon, he just saw what they meant.
6. Lord Varys.
He couldnt live much further. He was one like littlefinger, he played the game very risky and well, we all knew he had to die.
7. How did ya'll not like how Quyburn die? Like bruh that was hella satisfying.
8. [Edit]: A brother's farewell.
The scene between Tyrion & Jamie was more than heartwarming. How can people say this was inconsistent? Since S1 Jamie has always got Tyrion's back and vice-versa. Even on opposing sides they have always loved each other. ❤
Look, the writing was well made, the series has to end. Don't hate on the writing if ya'll can't even write a whole script. This was good. Even if I hate half of the characters, I am VERY pleased with how things went down. The only problem was the Night King a few eps back but hey, we can't have it all.
Just enjoy things.
