Warning: The following post contains spoilers for the finale of Game of Thrones. You must know this by now.
After nine years, eight seasons, and 73 episodes, Game of Thrones bowed out with – if nothing else – a massive sendoff. Tears were shed, fire breathed, and wine drunk (mostly by us). The Iron Throne dissolved (literally), giving way to Westeros’ first vaguely constitutional monarchy, and the Starks split up (by choice this time) to explore the world and keep the peace.
Season 8 garnered mixed reactions from fans and critics, with arguably more pressure on the finale than ever before. After Daenerys went full Mad Queen, she met a swift death at the hands of her nephew/lover Jon The Starks finally found justice (mostly), with Bran the Broken taking the Throne (or *a* throne, since the original melted) and Sansa becoming Queen in the North. Arya rode West of Westeros, prime for a spinoff, while the rest of our faves stuck around King’s Landing to support their new King. Both Jon and Tyrion ended up almost exactly back where they started; Tyrion as Hand of the King and Jon rejoining the Night’s Watch after being found guilty of treason.
Hey, we love some full circle shit.
A perfect ending. Couldn’t have asked for more. Beautiful. Thank you for the journey #GameOfThrones.

I don’t think the ending divorced of everything is the worst. But they certainly didn’t tell a story that justifies it, so therefore it is bad. GRRM may end it the exact same way but tell a better story making it a good ending. #GameofThrones

TYRION: People love stories. And no one has a better story than Bran
ARYA, WHO LEARNED SHAPE-SHIFTING AND MURDERED THE INVINCIBLE ICE KING OF DEATH: Bran has what now

GoT SPOILERS: the only good thing about this episode is that the titty sucking boy is hot now. #GameOfThrones

That was a solid and satisfying finale all things considered. I’m genuinely happy with how it ended.
It’s a darn shame just how obvious it is that they had the ending and just forced themselves to circle a drain to get there. #GameofThrones
