It's all good, man
Actually, it would have created other things, too. Like panic and death, and poo...lots of poo. Maybe it's not ash. Maybe it's poo?
"But it's white!" I hear you some of you say. Think of dog poos when people weren't scared to give their dogs bones. Bones is the reason.
I'm changing my guess to poo.

Still better than the GoT ending?

In the Jon kills Dany scene it's actively snowing in the background
Similarly rewatch when Jon goes past the dragon, covered in snow, to go and kill her. Not only is the dragon hidden by snowfall, it's actively snowing in that scene. Much time has passed since the battle. This is not ash fall.

Exasperated, not angry.
Rewatched it and..yeah, that is definitely snow there. Looked decidedly chilly.

Look out, he's got a gnu!

Best bit was Sansa cutting off Edmure mid sentence.

Im surprised Tyrion's beard didn't get a separate cast credit

It was played by a beard double and Peter Dinklage was CGI'd in behind it.

Natalie Dormer didn't get a separate credit for playing Renly's beard.

Yeah, that bit was ace. It was the half hour or so after that that wasn't.

worked it out now!
Ooh I took that to be ash?
ETA: commented before I fully caught up with thread. Still saying ash!

It just didn't work for me, but maybe they should be congratulated for at least trying to come up with a punchline rather than 30 minutes of dullness to tie up the ends.

Confirmation bias - Wikipedia
...because it was ash in the fire scene you expected ash again and think you saw ash later, even though IT WAS SNOWING!

Nobody else was there when Jon killed Daenerys and there's no body so why didn't he just go to Grey Worm all like, yeah Dany's fucked off for a bit but she told me to tell you you're fired and I get to be king until she comes back, which will be any day now for sure.

That would have been unwise given how quick Grey Worm moved that episode.

Yeah, I assume he hung about there until Grey Worm turned up, told him what happened and turned himself in. And Grey Worm didn't kill him because a) he's not used to not having someone command him b) he had enough sense to realise there was no ruler now and somebody needed to sort shit out. Whether the various lords came to him or he requested them at Jon's suggestion, I'm not sure, but I quite like that they let us fill in whatever happened in the meantime.
I was thinking today that I also liked how Emilia Clark portrayed Dany's mood having come and conquered - mostly drifting around in a quiet ecstatic happiness that's a disturbing disjunct to the reality, unable to perceive the horror around her. So she wasn't ranting crazy nuts, but just cut adrift from reality (otherwise she'd blatantly not have let Jon a) be alive or b) anywhere near her with weapons.

I was entertained, surprised and satisfied, so it get's a 
from me.
I'm of the view that Danny was crazy from the end of season three when she took to crowd-surfing, so no, it wasn't a sudden heel turn in my view.
My biggest gripe? Why the fuck are Ser Brienne and Podrick (be still, my beating heart) Payne in Kings Landing (assuming that is where they are - I'd've thought moving the capital to Oldstown would've made sense), Sansa is oop North with Alice Karstark for company, FFS. Do oaths mean nothing to you, Ser?

IT'S YOUR DECISION DANIEL
Word on the street is they could have had as many episodes or series as they wanted, but the two D's wanted to rush through as they were anxious to go and work for Disney writing the new Star Wars trilogy.

The GOT S8 backlash must be making Disney very nervous. Star Wars fans are already a bit tetchy.
