That character arc definitely didn’t feel rushed to me.
Ugh, these fucking Twitter experts and their, ironically, rather lazy criticism about GoT.
Season 8 is, essentially, all third act - it's the third act of the entire show. We've had seven whole seasons building up to these last six episodes!
Yeah, there's an awful lot to get through, but "rushed"? Did they not see the first two episodes of the season? They complain about the Wight Walkers being dealth with quickly, as if we'd never had a skirmish or battle or encounter with the Wights before - erm ... except Hardhome, and the one where they went to capture a Wight, oh and the big ass battle at The Wall at the close of season 7. Sheesh!
Another thing - Arya's kill list and the different coloured eyes, another thing that was set up seasons ago when she met Melisandre at one point. It was then brought back in the library with new understanding of "blue eyes" being on the list of kills for Arya. Hell, the Clegane beef has been set up since season one and here, finally, in the penultimate episode we get Clegane Bowl and it was awesome.
Seems there's a lot of these vocal morons just pissed off their theories didn't pan out, meanwhile a lot of these decisions will have been built in from very early on, and are indeed written into the show. Bron asks Jamie how he'd like to die: "In the arms of the woman I love" he responded. That's exactly what he got. The end of Cersei was quite poetic, as I've previously said on here - literally crushed beneath her empire and not in some defiant last stand (she's Royalty, not a flippin' warrior FFS!) but with all her power and arrogance and support stripped away. Indeed, I would imagine that perhaps Arya (and maybe Jon) will be tasked now with taking down a different Queen - Dany.
Some other chumps complained that the dragons didn't do enough damage in 8x03 (nevermind the Wight Dragon, and the huge snow storm that made it almost impossible to fly about let alone see from any decent distance!), meanwhile in 8x06 they complain that the dragon was able to do too much damage!!!  Really? Christ on a bike!
It seems like the "cool" thing to do now - whine about GoT's final season ... and, indeed, use shitty little Tweets from chumps nobody's heard of, but who shout very loudly, to cobble together some crappy click bait 'article' blowing it up into a bigger thing.
I'm glad that season 8 is all killer and no filler. Does anyone remember the trudge fest that was season 5? You literally had Brienne sat on her arse for most of the season waiting for a candle in a window!!! It wasn't all duff, far from it, but by comparison to the rest of the show season 5 was the clear low point (relatively speaking). Ironic, too, that some of the people complaining about the writing are themselves incapable of stringing a sentence together. I'd love to see how they'd fare having to wrap up ten years worth of programming. The show's writers went from having these weighty tomes full of detail to having to write it according to just notes and GRRM's notions for what's to come (he's still writing the penultimate book).
