I think that no matter what they do people are going to complain... did I think it was perfect? Of course not. Do I appreciate the impossible task that was closing the biggest show in TV history in an era where everyone with an opinion can get it out to a million people on Twitter and complaining is in fashion? Absolutely.
The only thing that bugged me a lot was Jon being sent off to the wall, but the more I thought about it, the more I liked it.
How many times did the guy say he didn't want to be king? And every time he said it we all thought "that's why he'll make the best king..."
But he didn't want to be king, and he meant it apparently. He spent his whole life being a lesser bastard, then being locked up in the Night's Watch, then fighting wars he didn't want to fight... the idea of him wandering off into the wilderness with the Free Folk is poetic, and fitting even if it seemed out of left field given our expectations. After sleeping on it, I like it.
