Critics Consensus

"The Last of the Starks" strains to set the board for Game of Thrones' conclusion, but serves up enough political intrigue and touching character interactions to satisfy.

"The Last of the Starks" was a fascinating lesson in how Westerosi official histories come about.

I didn't think the episode, called "The Last of the Starks," was particularly smooth overall.

"The Last of the Starks" begins in mourning with a few sad moments, but this is a mostly sunny 80 minutes compared to "The Long Night." Well, except for that last 20 minutes.

Nothing that couldn't have been told in 15 minutes, which could have been integrated with another more exciting episode.

We always assumed so many of these secondary characters would just be killed off, but nice to see them get a happy ending. Even if Tormund didn't get the girl.

Are you not dramatically satisfied? Because I'll be honest, I'm not, and they've got two episodes left to fix that.
