Someone made the apt observation that Brann was the true villain of the series.
The idea goes that he was influencing all the events over the past few years using his powers, basically setting himself up to be King. The Night King was not trying to kill him because he was the embodiment of man's history, he was trying to kill him because he knew Brann was the only one powerful enough to actually challenge his own ascension. I mean everything, the whole Azor Prophecy, the Red Priestess mistakingly choosing Stannis, even Jaime pushing him out the window. It was all ultimately setup for him to take the Throne, though to be fair, possibly with benevolent reasons, as he embodies the perfect King that Varys always hoped for, one that isn't tainted by feelings or desire. It's still messed up if he did cause all those things though, since it means he got a big chunk of his family killed. (plus, you know, drove Dany to burn down almost all of King's Landing through his manipulations)

And now our watch has ended.
My personal headcanon is that dragons can't attack Targaryens. Drogon wanted to torch Jon for killing Dany but couldn't.
That was just Arya posing as and unsullied.
Mr. Z watched the 1st season, quit because it no longer had Sean Bean, and watched the 8th season with my mother and I. At first he was fine with the 8th season because it moved along briskly for his taste. But afterwards he decided to go back and binge the earlier seasons, and I quote:
"I get why everyone's so upset. If I watched this in real time, I'd be fucking pissed about season 8!"
"I get why everyone's so upset. If I watched this in real time, I'd be fucking pissed about season 8!"
Colonel Sharpe would like a word.
All other characters have to make up for what Mr. Sharpe survived.
Also, they don't have Patrick Harper at their side!

“ Jon's eyes, reflecting the flickering firelight, held a resolute determination. "I will not forsake my subversions of expectations or the subversions of expectations that define me. The subversion of expectations that led me to the Night's Watch will guide me in the subversions of expectations that lie ahead. Together, we shall weather the storm of subversion of expectations and emerge stronger."

Or like the first 2 episodes of Harley Quinn with the word "Fuck"
