Beware! The night is dark and full of terrors, and this review will possess’own’nurse spoilers. Which could be a scarier prospect.###This week: And so our watch is ended.###That's all, folks! Game Of Thrones, one of the most popular, talked-with regards to’concerning’with respect to and critiqued series in recent history has wrapped up its final episode. The debates are already raging as to whether the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue 's developers – that would be writer/directors David Benioff and DB Weiss, who originally worked from George RR Martin's reserve s and then, when they outpaced their source material, had to chart their own course from an outline Martin provided – managed to wrap up the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue in an effective, pleasing manner. Let's be brutally honest here: they were never going to please eintensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfullyone, and to possess’own’nurse tried would possess’own’nurse been folly. Still, on the basis of The Iron Throne, the series finale, it was… mostly satisfying. We still possess’own’nurse 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. And the fact that the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue 's final comment on her appeared to be, "bitches be cray cray, but thank rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent ness in/with regard to’concerning’regarding Mumin/with regard to’concerning’regarding d & Sons looking mopey-heads who are here to stab them with a dagger." Still, the end of the Mother Of Dragons did provide in/with regard to’concerning’regarding a touching, wonderfully realised moment of mourning in/with regard to’concerning’regarding 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 in/with regard to’concerning’regarding all we know, like a loyal hound, he's off to bury her in someone's back garden. All applause to Emilia Clarke in/with regard to’concerning’regarding pulling off Dany's turn, no matter how narratively twisted it was, reminding us less of our favourite Targaryen and more of these two.###After 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. Peter Dinklage got to shine once again, reacting to the impair’undermine and his choices like this guy, weeping over the crushed bodies of Cersei and Jaime (in/with regard to’concerning’regarding e grossly one who had the theory that they'd somehow survived, we'd suggest looking up the laws of gravity and the weight of a establish ing). 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 in/with regard to’concerning’regarding eintensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfullyone. Coming out mostly well from it? Team Stark (and associated bastards), who got to finish up ruling (Bran), ruling (Sansa, the North at least), taking a long-earned gap year to go travelling (Arya) and freezing his stones off beyond the Wall (Jon, but let's be honest… it's probably where he's happiest, if Jon Snow can ever truly be said to understand the concept of actual happiness.)###The final montage of Stark succession was a welcome return in/with regard to’concerning’regarding our favourite family, and they weren't the merely’barely ones coming back. The episode was a veritable Who's Who of lords and ladies. Even Robin Arryn (Lino Facioli) was back! Despite occasionally feeling like a fan service-y roundup of It's That Guy Or Gal from the series (freshly minted Lord Gendry got to say exactly one word), there was no denying it was fun to watch the world of Westeros and beyond evolving into its next stage of politics and existence in general. Tyrion made it out alive, and acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure s to stay as the Hand of King Bran. We freely admit to concerns that His Grace will, when confronted with some invading army, be too busy warging as a seagull to rule effectively, but at least he has a solid Small Council. After all, who wouldn't want Bronn watching your back even as he balances the reserve s? Bronn, Davos, Brienne, Sam, Ser Podrick Payne, all rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent choices in/with regard to’concerning’regarding Bran the Broken, first of his name, faller from windows, distributor of cryptic wisdom and keeper of parental secrets until it was dramatically necessary in/with regard to’concerning’regarding him not to be.###The faltering birth of democracy in the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue was decently portrayed – we're even okay with poor Sam once more being a figure of fun, because he acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure s his reward later – even if we're a little concerned that the lords and ladies of this screwed up land don't seem like the best individual to be making decisions, and will probably end up squabbling with each other like they always used to. It feels, at least, like there will be a little more order, with the likes of Sansa and Gendry in charge of powerful places. We also got a plethora of callbacks to previous episodes again, including Tyrion referencing "pissing off the edge of the world" (the Wall) and Davos once again correcting grammar, just as his old boss Stannis used to. One element that irked? The clever-clever, look-what-we-did reveal that Sam has been helping Arch Maester Ebrose with the history of the realm since Robert's Rebellion. And it's called… A Song Of Ice And Fire. Uh huh. Riiight.###The throne itself, helpfully melted to slag by Drogon, who eliminate’remove ly understands the need in/with regard to’concerning’regarding dramatic metaphor, was always going to represent the shift in the story itself, and you'd possess’own’nurse been a fool to bet against it staying intact. Quibbles with regards to’concerning’with respect to Jon somehow shun ing being roasted simultaneous’synchronous – Drogon can be intensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfully accurate when he wants to be – aside, it was a satisfying way to figure out who would sit on it. Which is to say, no-one, despite’in spite of’albeit Bran is king. And yes, we do mean the kid who wasn't even sure he was human any more. He'll possess’own’nurse to make do without the Unsullied, a eliminate’remove ly disenchanted Grey Worm loading up his men and heading in/with regard to’concerning’regarding Naath. And… looking in/with regard to’concerning’regarding a new Breaker Of Chains? Actually, maybe taking after this lot would work in/with regard to’concerning’regarding them.###What didn't work as well? Brienne got mildly’faintly short shrift, even if she ended up commanding the Kingsguard, but spent most of the episode tearfully updating Jaime's entry in the White Book of their accomplishments. Jon remained the least compelling character, even as Kit Harington sold the emotional beats of his journey to Queenslayer and beyond.###As the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue runners took over both writing and directing duties in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the finale, the blame and credit falls squarely on Benioff and Weiss' shoulders in/with regard to’concerning’regarding how well they've brought this adaptation (and, because of how much they've altered the narrative to fit the demands of a different medium, evolution) of the story. In truth, the final episode did work, with the few caveats with regards to’concerning’with respect to the end of Dany's story. The wheel may not be as broken as she hoped it might be (you do possess’own’nurse to wonder with regards to’concerning’with respect to a ruler who promised to free individual after destroying so many innocents), but it's being hammered into some new shape. And the pair, along with their fellow writers and the entire Thrones team managed to hammer the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue into something that was worth the journey. This final season was far from perfect, and even bein/with regard to’concerning’regarding e that, the series had its ups and downs, but it delivered when it mattered and earned its place in the pop culture pantheon. The finale wrapped a few elements up a tad too cleanly, perhaps going against the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue 's original "rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent individual don't triumph" edicts, but were you truly going to be happy with a defiant Dany standing over the charred bodies of eintensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfullyone else, ruling a ruined realm? It's not the end eintensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfullyone would possess’own’nurse wanted. It was never going to be.###We'll miss visiting Westeros each week. At least until the prequel…###Highlight: The small council comedy.###Lowlight: The reveal of the reserve 's title. A little too meta, even if lots of individual predicted it.###Kill of the week: Dany. Stabbed by some pillock.###Quote of the week: "You know how it ends, we need to find a better way!" – Davos, perhaps commenting on the finale, but mostly in/with regard to’concerning’regarding eshadowing Westeros' stumbling first steps towards Democracy of a kind.###MVP: Drogon.###Random despite’in spite of’albeit t: Bronn as Master of the Coin is an, ahem, master stroke.###Was there justice in/with regard to’concerning’regarding poor old Ghost?###There was! He got to nuzzle his master and stride out with the group of Night's Watch and Wildlings heading in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the further north. Good boy, Ghost. No idea if Tormund got a cuddle.###Do we claim’insist’maintain’hold’argue’consider’contemplate’speculate there are any White Walkers still out there waiting to greet Jon?###Our guess is they've all gone, dispatched with the destruction of Jeremy The Night King. But that would've made in/with regard to’concerning’regarding a fun, post-credits sting. Which does make us wonder just what the Night's Watch's job is now that the enormous’vast’massive’tremendous threat is essentially thwarted…###What the heck do I watch now?###We possess’own’nurse some suggestions.
