Eventually, after causing much losses for Daenerys, causing her to have a mad rampage, throwing the scent off by sacrificing his best friend and savior, knowing that Jon Snow doesn't want the throne and would prefer to go homevnorth (also Jon having lost faith in Dany for senseless killings), possibly psycho-ing Arya into faceless killing Daenerys (makes for better plot, Arya kills Grey Worm and takes his face and speaks Valyrian) and proving that his family had always served the throne (a Hand of the King, a knight, a queen) and protected it from mad Targaryen monarchs (one Kingslayer, one Queen that tried but failed to protect the city) and since he is Hand of the Queen, the imp achieves what his father would have considered impossible - become King of the Seven Kingdoms. Tyrion, of the House Lannister, First of his name. Good night

Yea...yea... I know that one. That theory also weird. The north people keep to themselves. Someone once said that the Starks never do well when they go to Kings Landing. See what happened to Ned, his brother and his father?Why would Bran for that matter want to go there? Unless Varys wrote the scroll for Bran before he got incinerated and begged him to come, probably because Dany going crazy

Plus points for...
- Thrilling us in each scene with Arya when she was trying to get out of Kings Landing, and breathing a sigh of relief when she mounted the white horse and rode it out.
- Cleganebowl finally happened after 8 seasons...
- Lots and lots of fire mixed with green flames all round to remind us of wildfire.
- Showing slaughter and carnage, blood and gore, the reminders of war and a woman gone crazy on a dragon...reminding us she's going (or gone) down the road of her mad dad.

The rest...well,
- Not understand why Tyrion sold out Varys...What did that achieved? A smart move would have been to keep Varys and sell him out only if Dany didn't go mad. I guess Tyrion ran out of eunuch jokes.
- Euron is narcissistic. He mounted plenty o' scorpions on his ships but fired just the one from his because the camera was zooming in on him. Also, good for showing off his flying into the water skills.
- Lesson learnt: Never hire the Golden Company. They couldn't tell you a dragon was flying their way because they never looked behind the walls.
- Take it from Thanos - You should have aimed for the head. I would have liked Sandor to have survived and he should have taken off Gregor's head instead.
- I felt Jaime and Cersei should have been given a better send-off after 8 seasons. Instead, they died by rubble (or did they? @maggy froggy).

Anyhow...I'm just b***hing here on some of the plot points I felt this episode could have done better. Since it was so disappointing (for me, perhaps not everyone else), I wouldn't be surprised if Arya was riding the white horse out of Kings Landing only for a hungry Drogon to swoop down and devour the horse with her on it. That would have been surprising!!

He will come back to Kings Landing and become Commander of the City Watch

One big question remains.... In all that fiery carnage and wanton destruction, did the Iron Throne survived? Or will we just find a puddle of black, hard, solid mass where it once proudly stood?

Dany - gets killed by Arya who was horrified by the devastation of Kings Landing. Arya disguises as Grey Worm after killing him somewhere else so that she can get close to Dany. Drogon can't protect Dany as this happens inside.

Grey Worm - killed by Arya to take his face.

Arya - takes Grey Worm's identity, kills Dany and then leads the Unsullied back to Essos and disappears for good. Perhaps becoming a teacher at the House of Black and White.

Jon - is consumed with grief over the murder of Dany. Decides he still doesn't want the throne and returns to the north to help the not anymore Wildlings since there is no longer a proper wall. Has a proper reunion with Ghost and Tormund.

Sansa - returns to Kings Landing on receiving Varys letter. Sees the destruction and decides there is nothing left. Sansa returns to the North, as Lady of Winterfell, Warden of the North. She relieves Brienne of her oath.

Tyrion - upon the death of Sansa, as Queen's Hand and previously King's Hand, and Protector of Kings Landing @ the Battle of Blackwater, claims the Iron Throne. Becomes King of the Seven Kingdoms. The following become his Small Council:
Ser Davos Seaworth - King's Hand; Bran Stark (having traveled South with Sansa) - Master of Whisperers (hey, who better than someone who knows what you said, will say or have said even before you said it??); Samwell Tarly (summoned to Kings Landing to be Maester there), and some unknown who becomes Master of Coins.

Ser Brienne - remains in Kings Landing. Since her love is dead (i.e. Kingslayer) she decides to commit herself to rebuilding and guarding Kings Landing or the King. Becomes commander of the City Watch or perhaps the Commander of the new Kingsguard.

Bronn - becomes Bronn of House Blackwater, Lord of the Reach, ruler of Highgarden, perhaps become Master of Coins as well. Gets a castle in Highgarden AND a castle in Kings Landing (so gets his two castles). Not impossible since Tywin was King's Hand at the same time holding Casterly Rock.

And no matter what the spoilers say....this is the ending I would have liked from David and D.B.

Black of what? The white walkers are gone. And why he need to take the black? He killed the queen but he is also the rightful king. So he don't need to take black..He can just fly away with Drogon.

Bran becomes king...Bran doesn't need a council. All the advise he ever needs is inside his head, no? He sees everything (Isn't that what he said? "I'm the Three Eyed Raven. I see everything now") and he wants nothing (He said that to Tyrion, "I don't want anymore".)

So if this spoiler/leak is actually true, then it has damn a lot of plot holes. And why is Bronn there? Where is his castle? He should just take the crossbow shoot Tyrion dead and ride into the sunset. Just like a cowboy movie....
And Davos should go back to smuggling onions....

They built the whole thing up to a crescendo only for it to end with a.......? Well, we will find out on Monday!

At least if the producers are going to set us up for anything disappointing, they can run this scenario. I won't object.

Hahaha...Good one. Someone actually asked me to comment on the last episode.
Read through and I've also added some thoughts at the end.

All in all, I loved how it ended for most characters except Dany. I felt her death/murder could have been dealt with differently, more emotionally, more expressively. It was just like hey, talk, kiss, knife in and dead. Also, in today's society, Jon would be walking free. We actually don't have a witness to say Jon killed Dany. Perhaps after some heated argument, Dany could have flown off with Drogon for ever and ever not to be seen again. ??? Remember Season 5, when she disappeared? There's a story going around which I like. Drogon found a Red Priest or Priestess who brings Dany back to life and she returns to Westeros with a vengeance.

All through the last 7-8 seasons, I have been rooting for a few people in particular. I'm glad they survived and got some good endings. Bronn, because he makes smart remarks every time he hits the screen and he is smart when he fights. Sam, just because he is Sam. Davos, because he always appears level headed whenever emotions take control of the rest, he is always like..."Friends, friends,..." Or how he won over Lady Lyanna Mormont in Season 6. It's their character traits that attract me.

Most of all, the person I've rooted for from the beginning was Ned Stark. He may have lost his head in Season 1, Episode 9 but I followed the family and their trials and I'm sure a lot of people rooted for Arya and Sansa. As for Bran, I was just curious how his arc would turn out and hey, he became King of the Six Kingdoms. So this is the part where I'm really happy for how it ended for them.....Imagine how proud Ned Stark would be of his children (i"m not sarcastic)....Look at them...

Sansa - Lady of Winterfell, QUEEN IN THE NORTH
Bran the Broken - KING OF THE SIX KINGDOMS
Jon Snow - Knight's Watch, and probably will end up KING BEYOND THE WALL or at least the leader of the Wildlings. Ser Alliser got it right..
Arya Stark - QUEEN OF HER OWN DESTINY....That's not me.

So while there were critics and supporters for this season, DB and David provided appropriate closure for the characters and their story arcs. GRRM may not follow this ending, might create a more imaginative one. But for that, we will have to wait. For now, the show is ended and so is this longish article.

My watch here is ended.
