expectations or isn't what audiences imagine is "bad" storytelling. It's what Hollywood does and that can be boring.


For example, someone online described how the story could have played out "once the bells ring out, the scale of the episode could shift to Jaime trying to save Cersei and Arya trying to kill her, with CleganeBowl as a halftime show." And maybe some of them died or all of them died.

That probably would have been satisfying and what people would imagine could have happened...but everyone would forget that in a week.

I love shows that go for the controversial ending that people still talk about.

But then, I liked how the Sopranos ended.
