There were moments of reflection, times of trouble – even in its finale, Thrones can't quite stop shedding blood – and a valiant attempt to wrap up the story for everyone. Peter Dinklage got to shine once again, reacting to the damage and his choices like this guy, weeping over the crushed bodies of Cersei and Jaime (for everyone who had the theory that they'd somehow survived, we'd suggest looking up the laws of gravity and the weight of a building).
All applause to Emilia Clarke for pulling off Dany's turn, no matter how narratively twisted it was, reminding us less of our favourite Targaryen and more of these two.Īfter last week's destruct-o-thon, the finale at least allowed the characters, and us as audience members, to process what had happened in the ravaged streets of King's Landing. And the fact that the show's final comment on her appeared to be, "bitches be cray cray, but thank goodness for Mumford & Sons looking mopey-heads who are here to stab them with a dagger." Still, the end of the Mother Of Dragons did provide for a touching, wonderfully realised moment of mourning for Drogon, who got to snatch his dead queen/mum up and fly away with her body to we know not where exactly – east, we're later told, but for all we know, like a loyal hound, he's off to bury her in someone's back garden. We still have concerns over the turning of Dany into the Mad Queen, all wide-staring eyes as she caressed the Throne still standing in a ruined throne room.

Still, on the basis of The Iron Throne, the series finale, it was. Let's be brutally honest here: they were never going to please everyone, and to have tried would have been folly. The debates are already raging as to whether the show's developers – that would be writer/directors David Benioff and DB Weiss, who originally worked from George RR Martin's books and then, when they outpaced their source material, had to chart their own course from an outline Martin provided – managed to wrap up the show in an effective, pleasing manner. That's all, folks! Game Of Thrones, one of the most popular, talked-about and critiqued series in recent history has wrapped up its final episode.
