Weirdly, I don't mind the ending itself. If Brienne was meant to become part of the KG and complete Jaime's pages, that's okay with me. I just hate that we got such a short time with the unambiguous after so much UST and hearteyes. There could have been... more. And if not, they could have NOT ended it with Cersei's "we will die together as we were born together" prophecy. The time they spent reversing Jaime's character development could have been spent showing more moments with Brienne. Maybe it's asking too much, and I know the series isn't the J/B show. Still, I've been into this series for the last thirteen years, sailing this ship for twelve (and I know plenty of folks here have done so for even longer!). I really think they could have afforded a few seconds here and there. I can handle a bittersweet ending, but season 8 has been half-baked, bland and bitter, with no room for sweet.
I used to be okay with this possibly being the only adaptation of the series we see to the end, but now... I really fear that it could be. Oof... now I truly sound bitter. I try to hope for the best, really, but it's not so easy lately.
