Hated the fact that the Lannister army was coming, but xenophobic about Dany....

Yep you are confused. Whether a writer thinks they are writing a redemption arc or not, I as a reader am still allowed to decide how I feel. And my point to you has always been, I don't find anything action Jamie will supposedly do as redeeming him.
If you are convinced that Jamie is being redeemed then do you bro. I side with Ned Stark on this one. **** Jamie. The dude almost murdered a kid and killed an honorable man so he could keep fucking his sister. He then allowed his sister to kill all sorts of people because he was a coward. So no, not buying it.

You can chose not to respond to me as you will note I didn't comment on your personal opinion of the show. I simply gave my own. Perhaps you should not be so concerned about how other people feel about fictional characters.

Ok let's agree that it is consistent within the framework of the story that Northerners are xenophobic, racist assholes who would risk death (House Glover) rather than fight an extinction level threat with foreign aid.
As I said in my first post, the end result is I am left rooting for the Night King to wipe them out. Just as I am rooting for him to wipe out Cersei for her treachery.

There really wasn't resentment made of the dothraki and the Unsullied armies though. Not in the last episode. All the resentment was targetted at Dany, and the fact she was a Targaryan, and the daughter of the Mad King.
Targaryan's are not a recent development in Westeros, they had been under Targaryan rule for 300 years. And for the vast majority of those 300 years, the North did really well. yes there were plenty of wars and squabbles during those 300 years, but the North stayed out of them leading up to the mad king. Claiming Dany is a foreign invader is tenuous at best, she was born in Westeros. her exile was not the result of anything she did personally either.
this leaves us with just the fact she is the daughter of the mad king. So what? Still compares rather favorably to Cersei, and sooner or later they will have to support one of them, or have you not been paying attention? Jon has already made the point that he doesn't consider the children to be beholding to the actions of their parents (Umbers/Karstarks).
Not saying they shouldn't be aware of the past, but rather they have formulated an opinion before they have ever met the girl, who buy the way just happens to be up there to save their ass.

Yes, I am. I just think I will end up disappointed but will watch as I am a completionist.

I can claim to the extent it would happen is being well blown out of proportion.

I will be shocked if Bronn doesn't turn on Cersei eventually.

I never like endings (well, I like happy endings), but I kinda feel the same way. I have given the show a lot more margin like Dany flying from DragonStone to beyond the wall to save them in like 20 minutes, etc., just because what else am I gonna do at 8 PM on a Sunday? Sew like a ****?

Guessing HBO won't let Bronn be a bad guy like that (speaking of redemption arcs), but you never know! He might kill one and get killed by the other

He never liked her, but I think his broships with Jaime and Tyrion will lead him to give up pussy and gold for friendship, and die for it!

Nice try but another epic fail on your part. Ned Stark was unaware of why Jamie killed the Mad King, and Robert's Rebellion was based on a lie, so the whole war was unjust. It's Ned that dropped the ball on this one. Jamie didn't kill Ned Stark. Ned found it perfectly acceptable to hide Jon from Robert (an act of treason) once he found out that the whole basis of the rebellion was wrong as well. Ned also found it perfectly acceptable to hide the truth about Rhaegar and Lyanna from the seven kingdoms, yet took it upon himself to expose Jamie and Cersei. Ned Stark was a hypocrite. Dude, you need to pay better attention to the story.

Lol, Jamie and Cersei are responsible for almost killing Bran and killing Ned. Furthermore, nothing you claim Ned did resulted in him killing someone. Are you going to claim Jamie is not responsible for anyone's death on the show. The dude is a murderous asshole. He literally says the "the things I do for love," as he then casually pushes Bran out a window to his seeming death.
You have gone full blown Jamie nuthugger trying to compare Ned's transgressions to Jamie's.
