This is exactly where Martin's story will go, and it's something that has been built up for a very long time.
Then there are a lot of people, namely critics, that are unaware of that and I wasn't aware that he would divulge that information because if I were a reader, I wouldn't be any longer.

He hasn't divulged it, but the show isn't going to go off on some crazy divergence from where the books will go. This is where they are headed. It's not like this stuff wasn't built up or developed in the show either. There's a lot throughout the entire series leading to this.

Does Bronn finally get a castle?
Well Tyrion is still alive (at this point) to make good on the deal, lol.
Was the pale horse, Bran in warg?
That thought crossed my mind too. All the other horses bolted because of Drogon's sacking of the city but that single, and very calm, horse was just hanging around for Arya to ride?
How many times will Sansa say "I told you so"?
It will probably encompass half her dialogue in the final episode. I am kinda wishing Ramsey had gotten his hands on her again. Sure, it is a microscopic wish but it is one that never existed before she broke her vow and started a Dark Ages gossip-fest.
With the massive amount of casualties taken in Winterfell, where did all those unsullied and dothraki come from?
I am likely wrong but I thought Dany left a portion of her armies at Dragonstone when she marched north to Winterfell..?
The Golden Company was pretty disappointing for professional mercenaries. Did anyone else wonder where the Golden Company commander get the Dockers khaki pants he was wearing? Is there a Gap in Kings Landing, wouldn't be a stretch since we now know that Winterfell has a Starbucks.
I was laughing my head off watching the commander run for his life, as if he had any chance of escaping. Not exactly a good image to leave behind as a legacy.

Aaron Rodgers, a huge GOT fan, made it into last night's episode.

For real, no joke

GRRM has already stated that the show has already diverged from where the books are going several season ago. Not sure what that BS that came out two days ago is.

Well, unless he started over again. Which he has done before with books and a reason it takes him years to release a book. If he does write it to what is happening now, I won't read the books. This ending sucks.

So far, everyone except the Mountain and the Hound had anti-climactic deaths.
Personally, I consider Jaime and Cersei's deaths as climactic--especially Cersei's. Cersei told her Hand (paraphrasing) that the Red Keep had never fallen in battle. The witch said she would be casted down. Seeing a castle that had never fallen before FALL and crush Cersei (and Jaime) seem very climactic to me.

Yeah, but they were indirectly killed and not only that. The where killed together. Having Jamie kill her, or even a Dragon swallow her whole would have been infinitely better. Think Joffery. What if he just died in his sleep? Yeah, that's basically what happen to Jamie and Cersei. We will just have to agree to disagree. All that revenge that was supposed to to gotten out of her hide. They likely will never even know if she died or not because they will never find / be able to identify them.

Fire all the writers / producers / directors.

We agree to disagree. One of the most imposing sites in the Seven Kingdoms fell and crushed an insanely defiant ruler and her idiot devoted lover brother under tons of stones. Cersei did not believe anyone would humiliate and defeat her again after blowing up her enemies in The Sept with wildfire. Cersei wanted the White Walkers, Dany and the North to wipe themselves out (illogically conceived knowing the dead were basically unstoppable).

She was proven wrong, feeling trapped by the inevitability of an inescapable death worse than drowning. The visual impact of their deaths was a scene not unlike the fall of The Wall by the Night King and Viserion. Heck. Let us compare a hypothetical end with Ramsey walking lazily off a cliff to the destruction of The Wall too. lol.
