After properly digesting the finale and the season as a whole, I have one big problem: the main theme of the story has changed. The books are anti-war and anti-violence. This is especially clear in Brienne's Riverlands chapters in "A Feast for Crows." The show, however, is promoting war and violence and vengeance. Sansa having Ramsay's dogs eat him, Dany having the Masters killed, Cersei killing everybody, and most of all, Arya killing, chopping up, and baking two human beings and forcing their father to eat them. And this was all made to be celebrated and make the audience happy. This is the world they created. The lesson they're giving is: "The world is fucked up, so the only way to compete is to be just as fucked up." That's the polar opposite of what GRRM is trying to get across. I don't know how I feel about that.
