I didn't expect them to be best friends with Dany, but considering the harrowing journeys they went through I can see them empathizing with one another and understanding that they have common goals and similarities

I'm still astounded how everyone in Westeros didn't seem to care about the existential threat of the White Walkers. Cersei was like no big deal, and Sansa was happy to use Dany for her dragons and then toss her aside. Everyone would have been DEAD without the dragons.

Dany's story of not getting along with nobles but having the support of the people was one that I was sure would be repeated in Westeros. How could everyone not love the person who saved them from the ice zombies, etc? Her having the means to defeat the White Walkers just seemed like the obvious way she would end up on the throne. But we didn't get any of that because subversion.

Also, Cersei was a stone cold bitch and deserved a better death than crying and having a ceiling fall on her. I wanted her to go out like a BAMF.

Also, disappointed that Arya turned away from her revenge quest at the last second.

They outright admitted their incompetence in a proud manner, never truly understanding the characters or the point of the story.

I know. That whole thing was so cringeworthy. And I know that they changed things in earlier seasons, too, but once they were left to their own devices and didn't have source material anymore, it completely went off the rails.

I'm just glad that Emilia Clarke still defends Dany, and has been quite supportive of the fans who were displeased with the final season

I always feel bad for actors who get stuck on shows that gradually turn to trash, or whose characters just slide further and further into OOC. I mean, it's a paycheck, but I have to wonder about the satisfaction of doing something that isn't as great as it used to be (SPN, I'm also looking in your direction).
