For fans that are not just "over it", Game of Thrones ends with a 2-hour bonus documentary

(9 PM ET--HBO: The Last Watch)
Even if you are disappointed with the finale or final season, if this covers some of the special effects in any detail (which were spectacular), I think it could be fascinating... or at least a nice way to "turn the page"



BTW, if you are still not "over" the ending, this 20-minute video from Entertainment Weekly might be the best analysis I've seen of why things ended up as they did (and why that might have been the way it was meant to end):

The Irish extra actor in the documentary was funny. At the end, he's giving bus tours of GOT hlthe2b May 2019 #8

It’s really remarkable. I hope everyone who signed that stupid petition watches.

or they rationalized them away. Justified them in someone they liked even while they would find distaste in the exact same flaws in a character they didn't like.

Maybe it's because I'm a fan of the books, maybe not, but I didn't miss the clues in the show.

sets and area landmarks and says "an American asked him, how the 'troubles' started." He replies "well Jaime Lannister pushed Bran Stark from the high tower to prevent his revealing an affair with his sister"...
LOL
