We start with 2 slow buildup episodes (which I thought were great, btw), then 10 episodes worth of story and action jammed into the next 3 episodes (with, erm, inevitably mixed results... to put it mildly), and we end with a slow resolution episode, which had some good moments, but for me didn't feel anything like sufficient payoff (and all sorts of mysteries and side plots are left hanging, with most of the relevant characters dead).
Well, at least Jon got a proper reunion with his good doggy.
The sentencing Jon to the Night's Watch thing didn't make much sense to me. With the army of the dead defeated and peace with the free folk, why would there even still be a Night's Watch? What are they supposed to be guarding the realms of men from, now?
I also don't buy Greyworm, the Unsullied and the Dothraki agreeing with that sentence. Speaking of the Dothraki, where'd they go in the resolution?
I also don’t buy the fact that after Jon kills Dany that he wouldn’t be executed immediately. Why was he arrested and several weeks pass by? Surely Grey Worm who had no issue butchering Lannister npcs would kill Jon?
Since Drogon flew off with the body, to a different continent for all anyone knows, Jon could've told them anything. Or played dumb: "Has anyone seen Daenerys? I checked the throne room, but it looks like she decided to melt the throne and fly off somewhere. Odd! But then she has been acting strangely lately, hasn't she?" Sow confusion and buy himself some time at least. Given this was Jon, though, he probably walked up to the nearest Unsullied and said, "M'queen is dead because I stabbed her! Look no further. It was me what done the stabbing."
"Also I don't want it."
