I love Dany but always thought she would be happier not ruling anything -- but if I had to guess I owuld say that GRRM gave them a list of people who might end up on the Iron Throne, and the guy whose story was so good he didn't even appear for a whole season won the draw.
I agree about Jaime & Brienne: his knighting her was so important, and I hate that they got together just for him to leave her: I would really rather they hadn't at all.
There is so much in the ending I find hard to swallow -- not just Jaime and Cersei's end, but the fact that the show wanted me to feel sorry for them! No, I'm sorry. And that Tyrion and Jon both survived, which made no sense in the immediate dramatic context or in the larger narrative context. In my head they're both dead.
