The most disappointing thing in S8 E5? (spoilers inside!)

So, I didn't watch Ep 5 live, and had heard some bad press about it (even though I try to avoid any spoilers...which is ridiculously hard with GoT right now!). Anyway, since I had heard that I braced myself for something terrible, but I have to say, all in all I thought they did a great job.
The only thing that bothered me was how Jaime and Cersei died...although to be honest it is possible that we have not heard the last of that. Other than that one major issue, what else was disappointing to you? For the record: I think Arya should have secretly stayed behind and killed Cersei when she met Jaime in the plaza. The whole time they were embracing I was rooting for it! :D

While I thought the hate for ep 3 and 4 was vastly exaggerated, with this episode I'm not so sure. My opinion is pretty fractured.
I was perfectly happy with the way Daenerys' arc was taking her and even though it was a bit rushed in ep 4, I could let it go. But now it feels like they've taken her way too far and way too quickly. This season really needed to be 10 episodes so they could write it more gradually and more convincingly. To show her make poor political decisions that start to get out of control, then see people start to lose faith in her maybe, which in turn affects her psyche.
It's one thing for her to become politically compromised, which is interesting. But another for her to become outright evil, which is more black and white and not in tradition with the show.
But I've only just watched it and need to let it digest.
