I am very happy with this ending. I am not sure this is what GRRM would do, kinda happy mostly but I liked it. I was mostly happy that when we saw Robyn Arryn he was not with a wet nurse (never sure he would ever grow out of that).

I can live with this easily if we never get the rest of the books. I sure hope we do. I much preferred the books but the actors made the show so very pleasant and enjoyable.

Yup, good with this. Great story with some hiccups but wow was it beautifully done all around. I am glad I read and watched this show.
