Yes.
Did we ever learn the truth behind his alleged enormous talents in the bedroom? I can't remember.

I will be satisfied with that. Building on that:
Euron gets burned by the remaining dragon who gets revenge for its sibling.
Varys is dead man walking after the stuff he said, and red woman predicted it too.
Cersie and Jaime probably get killed by Arya
So Arya goes back to Jaqen?
There is no more night watch unless Jon and Tormund start a new one.

I have absolutely no idea why some people would be fine with David and Dan throwing out 7+ seasons' worth of character development and narrative, absolutely shafting certain fan favorite characters, and pissing off a lot of people, but I'm not going to try.
I'm not arguing that I like everything in the leaked summary (which may or may not be 100% true), but:
- In broad strokes it's probably what GRRM intended.
- One of the central themes of the entire series of novels has been to try and deconstruct the more "heroic" aspects of fantasy - the idea there's anything noble about nobility, that there's such a thing as a "good" king, or a "just" war.
- I don't see how it would be good in any way to undercut those themes just to give some fan favorites a happy ending.

^ There's a difference between a 'bittersweet ' ending and an ending that sends a giant middle finger to viewers.
I think it's only sending a giant middle finger to you personally. This was never a fan service show, and the ending probably won't be fan service either.
Nope. There are plenty of people online that are pissed at David and Dan, both in specific regards to the events of this episode but also for the general direction in which the story is headed.
And I firmly predict that the anger is only going to grow.
Ooo. “Plenty of people.” Sounds sizable.
And of course “anger” is only going to grow. Because “plenty” of being are “on the Internet” with “opinions.”
IMHO there's a difference between being upset with execution (things like the idea that a fleet could ambush a dragon, or that Jon wouldn't pet his dire wolf before abandoning him) and being upset with the general plot arc. I say that because something as big as whether Dany goes crazy and needs to be put down by Jon was undoubtedly on whatever document GRRM gave D&D. Logically speaking after all D&D can't be blamed for making that decision, since it was Martin's decision. They can of course be critiqued for teeing it up in a ham-fisted manner (I've seen some pieces arguing one of the flaws of this week's episode is that it really should have been stretched across 2-3 - they needed time to build the tension towards the finale, and fucked it up by trying to rush from one battle to the next). But again, unless you want them to just abandon GRRM's plan and go all fanservice, I don't see the point.
Well, we did learn he has a lovely singing voice...

Wow, no way! People on Twitter are angry? I bet they're all going to stop watching and ratings will plummet! Oh wait, the show is going to end with the highest rating of it's entire run.
There are also nazis on the internet. Shall we check what they think about this plot? No we freaking shall not, because nobody cares what noisy people think on the internet!
I’m shocked, SHOCKED, that some people are upset on Twitter!
It’s such a useful metric!
Those were my exact observations too. They looked laughably small and it was really risky. Cersei could've started shoot stuff at them.
And, Tyrion expecting Cersei to go with the offer was laughable. He had his nose rubbed in that same blind spot several episodes ago and here he is thinking she'd go with it. At least he is consistent. But, it doesn't really fit his politically astute character.
I'm not upset by it, if it's even true. I think it's fitting.
Honest question for you. Why do you think it's a middle finger for fans? What kind of ending were you hoping for?
I don't thing HBO or any of the production team gives a flying dragon that people are pissed off. This is the end of the series--people had chance to tune out before and the popularity only grew. Nobody is going to say I am so angry at this show that I am not going to watch the final two episodes. And it is going to be a huge seller when it comes to bluray probably just in time for Christmas.
They have always been open that people are going to be upset with the ending and now that they are being proven right, people are surprised?
Isn't it possible that he did realize that she wasn't going to accept it but felt it was his duty as both the hand of the queen and as a brother to do his best rather than give a half-hearted effort?
