12. I've been mulling it over

Didn't love or hate the last episode and have been trying to sort out how I really feel. Conclusion: I'm okay with it.

At first I was underwhelmed by everything being tied up in a neat bow and had a strong feeling of "that's it?!" A few days later, I am feeling:

I love the Starks and am glad they all got happy endings. Even Jon did. I think he'll ultimately be happier north of the Wall. He was happy there before, he's got Tormond and Ghost with him, they'll be able make a good, simple life up there. And I will speculate that after a few years pass, the half who are angry with him will settle down and Jon will probably be able to quietly visit his people in Winterfell.

I think what bothered me was how short season 8 was. It felt like we were rushed to the conclusion. But I am happy with the ending and being able to imagine the lives they will go on to lead.
