Trying to figure out season 8 is impossible. We cannot comprehend the incomprehensible. Yes we can understand the show runners thinking, but they failed to execute that thinking. By the end we are left baffled. No foreshadowing from previous seasons (1-5) was paid off and the final 2 or 3 seasons was put simply a different show from the Game of thrones we all loved. It's sad that all our investment in the story was not fairly rewarded. To conclude, the show runners have done a great injustice to the source material, the book and show fans and to themselves. All the show runners have proved is that they can make money from the great story of a Great writer.
