My takeaways from the last episode:

I hear ya. At this point, Sansa would be all for Queen Daenerys, because she has already agreed to leave the north alone when she sits the Iron Throne, much like previous Targaryen kings and King Robert when Ned Stark was Warden of the North. The manufactured crisis is annoying at this point, especially with 2 episodes left and at least one of those probably not showing anything happening up north. Bad writing.

Yup. I don't understand why Tyrion and Varys are trying to avoid as much casualty as possible, when Cersei herself killed so many people in order to attain power in the first place. War is war, and Cersei must be removed--at this point no matter what the cost, because she'll just use wildfire again when her power is threatened and kill thousands just like last time. Bad writing.

There is no explanation for this. Dany's forces have now been ambushed by Euron 3 times now, it's already a laughing stock, because Dany would have spotted Euron's ships along the coastline long before he had a chance to see the dragon, let alone aim precisely, and fire a Scorpion a mile away. Bad writing.

Exactly, this is someone who lit up the Great Sept without a care in the world, and killed many enemies--even some allies at the same time, so here's Daenerys, Drogon, and friends all within range of the Scorpion ballistae and her archers, and she doesn't order the kill. Cersei could have ended the war right there. Bad Writing.

Missandei was very scared, as we saw, my guess is she knew the Mountain would intervene before she would have a chance, but in the end it was foolish of Cersei to walk so close to the edge, where Missandei might have taken her down with her--which she very likely could have. Somewhat foolish writing.

They're in such a rush to end it, yet they sit on it for 2 years for what--an entirely dark battle taking up some 82 minutes where we can't see anything, a single daytime battle at KL which I assume is the hallmark, and 4 filler episodes.
