David Benioff and D.B. Weiss' Emmy-nominated Game of Thrones finale script is quite a mess

"Tonally, it’s all over the place," says James Whitbrook of the script that the TV Academy made available on Wednesday. "The writers wax and wane between the pathos of the moment—that this is the end of Game of Thrones—likening the scenes of destruction in King’s Landing post-Dany’s rampage to the real-world imagery of the Holocaust and the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, to weirdly chipper gags, like one about Sansa and Jon’s faces looking like they 'both failed geography' when Arya asks the pertinent question of what lies beyond Westeros’ western shores." Whitbrook does admit that the script does offer intriguing insight, particularly with Drogon.
