Thank you for the Chuck Wendig link. I wouldn't have found it on my own -- and it articulates very well my issues with Season 8. Like Wendig, I didn't much like Bran or Jon Snow. Bran in the series much like the books -- seems to be there to provide exposition and back story, and no other reason. He's just a narrative device or a gimmick. He was slightly more interesting in the books though. Jon...sigh.
I do know S8 worked for a few people -- I have three of them on my flist who LOVED it. But it didn't work for my co-workers or myself, or a lot of critics. Reminds me a little of the Lost and BSG endings, and the MASH ending -- which all had similar split reactions.
