Dany turned conquerer.
HBO
Recreation of Thrones is over (properly kinda, we nonetheless have prequels and spin-offs to come back) and individuals are a bit upset.
It wasn’t nice. For a full recap of the episode, you’ll be able to learn CNET’s finale rundown. If you happen to simply need to see who survived till the tip, we have got that checklist able to go too.
And if you wish to see the memes and the straight hearth from Twitter, learn on.
Spoilers incoming!
In order that was undoubtedly an episode of tv. I do not know the place to start out. Let’s break it up by sections.
The opening of this episode was sturdy. We had Dany flip up with a fully show-stopping entrance…
And after a bit of dialogue and a stroll by means of the carnage, Tyrion Lannister gave up his brooch. He did not wanna be the hand/sheriff no extra.
Then there was a prolonged, but additionally fairly well-acted scene the place Tyrion Lannister and Jon Snow reasoned out the professionals and cons of completely stabbing Daenerys Targaryen within the again for her insane struggle crimes.
Jon Snow did the identical tortured “what ought to I do with this ethical quandary” face he is been doing for eight lengthy seasons, after which he did what he at all times does: the precise factor. On this case homicide by loving knife within the stomach.
That was dangerous sufficient (the stabbing I imply). Then the worst half: Drogon’s mourning interval. Which concerned quite a lot of hearth and a whole melting of the Iron Throne.
Drogon is mourning. I’m mourning. I am a multitude! Drogon stated if my mom cannot sit on it, nobody can. F*ck all yall. #GameOfThronesFinale

At this level, issues appeared good. Good episode, decent-ish writing, good performances. This was the excessive level of the episode. The Dany demise scene was nice, Drogon’s response was nice. Candy, we’re getting the Jon Snow ending, proper?
Fallacious.
That is the purpose the place issues went off the rails.
Bran Stark — maybe essentially the most irritating character within the present’s lengthy historical past was now the proprietor of a totally melted Iron Throne. He bought the throne by everybody simply kind of agreeing he must be king in one of many weirdest scenes in Recreation of Thrones historical past.
As you would possibly count on, folks have been upset. Wrote one Twitter person: “I actually spent eight years watching this present for bran to be king, dany useless and jon again on the nightwatch???”
And from that time on we have been in epilogue mode. Jon Snow was again within the newly established Night time’s Watch. Arya determined to go on high-seas adventures. The north grew to become its personal kingdom, which means Sansa bought to be queen within the north. Certain, no matter. That is smart.
Maybe the one excessive level: Jon Snow reunited with Ghost and other people have been glad for some time.
However because the credit rolled, there was an empty sense of disappointment. That is it, the present is over. Are we going to get a spin-off with Arya Stark as murderer on the excessive seas or Jon Snow adventuring within the north? Perhaps, however this wasn’t the ending we have been anticipating. All of it feels a bit unusual.
If you happen to’re annoyed with the present, or simply flat out want one thing to fill the Recreation of Thrones sized gap in your life, listed here are 11 reveals that may assist numb the ache.
Farewell Recreation of Thrones, it is been an incredible (complicated, anger-inducing) eight seasons.
