With the benefit of hindsight, scenes like this piss me off now. They’re foreshadowing Dany’s turn 7 or 8 years ago and they still gave us this rushed bullshyt. How could you rush something that you had knowledge of for close to a decade? The fact that these dudes didn’t have a plan in motion to properly develop her turn after all these years is unforgivable. You don’t need the source material if you have a staff full of writers and nothing but time on your hands.

Exactly especially since it took them two years to finish.
He went all in all that wheelchair bit. Legs look like overcooked pasta.Bran skipping leg day too much
It wouldn’t have mattered. At this point, they’ve decided that the throne wouldn’t be ruled by families. Instead they would elect a ruler to represent the people. I always predicted that the show would end with the throne being destroyed and Westeros would have no ruler. The ending with Bran is a safe happy medium. I’m not thrilled about it but it is what it is.

You know one of the worse things about the change into choosing their leaders is that the reason they do it is because they realise the overwhelming tragedy of infighting that comes with the pursuit of power. Problem is that one) you still have that in deciding who to pick, especially as decisions would be made in order to manipulate the new leader, and two) they can still have that realisation as the White Walkers come and wreck everything whilst they were distracted by the pursuit of power instead of creating and maintaining a united front, rather than have a pointless blue balling sub-plot 
Edit: They've also had this election idea for two years at least evidenced by the vid
Still they couldn't see the flaws in the final piece enough for them to do several rewrites. Like the why the fukk does Brienne get a vote, gal is just a knight. It's not like they're even restrained by budget it's a council sitting around talking in a pit in Spain doing a bad LOTR impression. Any critical thinking and the shyt just disintegrates like a 800 year old book. Goddamnit I'll blow a blood vessel over how much they did not think about this shyt

Well damn, thats rightI was thinking about another reason that Bran being king was so jarring on the show, and it goes back to D&D being plot driven writers while GRRM is not. The way GOT was presented, the show was ALL about the iron throne. Marketed everywhere on every poster and ad from the very beginning. Who will sit on the throne?...Who will win the throne?....so when an 'undeserving' person ends up on the throne you get a collective WTF from the fans
Meanwhile, in GRRM's mind, the throne is nothing more than a prop used to present greater themes and also to drive characters decisions and force them into internal conflicts.
GRRM is writing about Shireen being burned. He is writing about Dany torching the city. He is writing about Jon killing Dany. He is not writing about who sits on the throne. That is just the outcome of these conflicts of the human heart.

Less so to be the king, more so to free him and not banish him to the wall/wildings home

No they weren't. Because the hivemind thinking that goes on today, wasn't around like that for everyone to be tuned into Lost. Other shows weren't compared to Lost back then, and all of the discussions mainly went on at 4815162342.com. Now the finale was huge, because of what it became by the time social media blew up, but overall, it was always a cult show. The Lost finale was bad because they made the show about the island, and how/why the characters were involved, but for the finale, made it about the characters in an afterlife. It was good because it gave a happy/sappy ending to the characters, with them finding each other, but they abandoned the story completely. Which is fine, if they laid the foundation early on...but they waited to late to do that.
