While in the last episode, finding those moments was as difficult as finding a living being in King’s Landing, this time, things did not look so bleak. As my anger cooled over the last week and I came to realise that this is just the end to Game of Thrones that we will have to live with, I tried really hard to find things I actually liked about the episode. Emilia Clarke as Daenerys Targaryen on Game of Thrones.Īs depressing as this may sound, after last week’s shocking abomination of an episode, the finale was still saved from being the show’s worst ever. While I am happy for Jon that he finally gets to while away his time beyond The Wall and with his Wildling friends, away from the throne he never wanted, I am not so sure if I could say the same about the millions who rooted for him, or even for a more logical end to the story. Bran called him the ‘true heir’ of the Iron Throne but ended up sitting on it himself-well only metaphorically now that Drogon has melted it to ground. Would the story have been any different if we had not known it at all? Would Jon being a bastard of Ned Stark cause any changes to the story we have just witnessed? Dany didn’t think him a threat enough even as he plunged a dagger in her heart and the other lords and ladies do not seem to care about it either. So how could she not see it coming?Īnd are we to blame if after all the hue and cry about Jon’s true parentage, we really expected it to amount to something? From the first season to the final, characters, flashbacks, conversations made innumerable references to Jon being a Targaryen but after watching the Game of Thrones season finale, it makes me wonder if there was a point or purpose to any of it. She knew he is all for duty and not one for the thirst for power. How could Dany not realise Jon is a threat? That he would kill her after all she had done? His righteousness was what she fell for. There are large, gaping holes in the fabric of logic that one just cannot ignore anymore. Maisie Williams as Arya Stark on Game of Thrones.īut the pacing and the hurry to get to the finish line are not the only issues. Perhaps then-definitely then-it would have been the greatest show we had ever witnessed. Game of Thrones needed at least four more seasons to continue on the same pace as season one and also be the same quality as it. But I still wish they showed it rather than spell it out to me. Sure it made sense when Tyrion tells us how she no longer realises right from wrong but only that she is on the side of the good, so all those against her must perish for the ultimate good of mankind. It should have been peppered over two seasons of Game of Thrones so we could watch her turn from a queen who liberates the weak to one that murders them. The conversation between Tyrion Lannister and Jon Snow should not have arrived 10 minutes before the Daenerys Targaryen’s tyrannicide. #Game of thrones series finale spoilers full#But when has wasting people’s time not been option for David and Dan? A full season’s worth of prophecies and the fight for the ‘true heir’ was apparently all for nothing anyway. With a fascist to kill, a new ruler to choose and several beloved characters to say goodbye to in just a span of one hour, the show still finds time to waste on fixing chairs and building brothels. The final episode of Game of Thrones, arguably the world’s most popular show, went out with a whimper.
