I don't think it's flawed so much as f'ing ridiculous.

Arya has become an unstoppable killing machine now that she has a TARDIS to travel around in, where she can discretely kill, carve, and carefully prepare her victims for baking into meat pies.

There are those rumors of him killing white walkers and coming back from the dead that must also feed the legend.

A likely scenario, for sure.

I'd say both of those are perfectly acceptable examples of "an unexpected power or event saving a seemingly hopeless situation, especially as a contrived plot device in a play or novel," i.e., deus ex machina (god from the machine). The Battle of Helm's Deep maybe less so, because Gandalf The White does physically…

The Dead Men of Dunharrow arriving just as the war is lost and sweeping over the entire battlefield in a giant green CGI cloud in 30 seconds = deus ex machina.

Cut to: Anthony Hopkins in his Westworld costume at a desk in the middle of nowhere:

The series finale will by a gaunt, bearded Gendry walking up to the camera from a great distance until his face fills the screen and says: "It's" [Cue theme song from Monty Python's Flying Circus].

They're coarse and rough and irritating…

Prediction: The Hound becomes enraged when served Dornish Game Hens.

Open gut-wound Parkour?

The final scene will be Gendry, with a long beard, just rowing up to Kings Landing as it all blows up.

You're Dorne tootin'!

Also, he drank… and he knew things.

Tyrion has played a crucial role this season. He and Varys kept Meereen intact against all odds; he unchained two dragons, by, you know, really talking to them; he convinced Dany to not be a genocidal maniac like her Dad; and, most importantly, on a very special episode of Game of Thrones, he taught Grey Worm and…

I've only watched #8, so far, and I'll just say that, while everyone has rightfully praised Eva Greene's continued excellence, Billie Piper's work this season has truly also been great.

His plan all along, to mop up after this battle and, with control of both Winterfell and The Vale, install himself as the new Warden of the North. Sansa has been his pawn this whole time.

That's a good point, they made a point to show they are on the same road, and would come to that spot soon after breaking camp.

I think my top three favorites of hers are:
1. Nosferatu the Vampyre
2. Queen Margot
3. Camille Claudel
but so much more to choose from.

I thought Ishtar was pretty funny. It's nothing Earth-shaking, but it is a perfectly decent comedy with a great cast. Elaine May got a really bad rap for that.
