There was a saying in Hollywood, that if you didn't know how to end a movie, you finished with a song and dance number.
I'm genuinely not sure if that would have been better or worse than what we got.

Probably already been posted but made me laugh
Now that I have had time to think about the ending I think maybe it was a bit predictable, ultimately it didn’t feel like anything have change when the journey was over. John was still in the North, Sansa became the new Cersei and the council of the king got on with things as Tyrion as the hand, hell it ever look like they had rebuilt in the final scenes of the meeting.
I mean Daenerys story wasn’t a terrible idea but rush with an obvious ending. John once again the hero with no reward.
Also did Bran manipulate everything to get the crown?

True that was the problem for me. I think we all knew 100% Danny would be killed and by either Tyrion or Jon in the final episode. So most of the final episode I kind of expected anyway. Certainly not the unexpected like we have to come to know GOT for.
The more I think about it the more it seems likely that bran knew. He can see into the past so likely one of the reasons he told Jon about his heritage. He had also seen into the future before so why not I guess.
As well as the “why do you think I came all this way” speech at the end.

That's a bit of a leap lol.

One thing that has been amazing throughout (bar the Ed Sheeran appearance) has been the music

So now you you have watched it and gone away to think about it you find it predictable? Look at the voting - only 2% of people predicted Bran on the throne!

Jeez, I'd almost forgotten where I'd buried that stinking corpse of a memory. That cameo dragged me through the 4th wall so hard & fast that I nearly threw up with motion sickness!
Was it the Coldplay drummer who played in the Red Wedding band? I'm too lazy to check, but that kind of background cameo is absolutely fine, even if it's a bit Media Luvvie Backslappy Club. But depriving an actor of work so Sheeran could get his visog on the telly box again or -- even worse -- tailoring a scene purely to facilitate the ginger gurner's appearance, is unforgivable. I started to worry about what was ahead then, because it was a sign that the show was starting to become bigger than the story.

Really? Look back at that scene without knowing who Ed Sheeran is - he's hardly the worst actor there in what's already a pretty forced segment. Out of all the grizzles I have about the series, I don't think I'd be looking to die on the Ed Sheeran hill.

Really! A 5'8" Starbucks cup would have been less conspicuous.
