I'm going to agree with you. The writers had the unenviable task of having to finish this thing without any source material to speak of, past a certain point.
I didn't mind S08, and I didn't mind the finale.
Was it a bit rushed? Yes. I'm not quite sure why the creative team made the decision to have such a short season, but OK. It is what it is.
I don't agree at all with a lot of the critics that say there were a lot of out-of-character moments this season. I think Dany, Tyrion, et al actually evolved as they should have; we just didn't see the transformations take place more organically over a longer season, so it all felt un-earned.
But I do agree with how their characters ended up, there was just a lot of head-canon blank-filling to be done.

- Arya was meant to kill Cersei not the NK, huge arc only to be convinced not to by Clegane? that was stupidernexbcn
- Why reveal to Jon he was a Targaryen, did not serve any purpose also, bunch of story arcs laid to wasteernexbcn
- Well, I think revealing to Jon he was a Targaryen was fine, it raised some stakes for him. And it reminded us that that family is as fucked up as the LannistersContinuity
- ... from an inbreeding POV, cos Dany was perfectly fine with getting boned by her nephew.Continuity
