#GAME OF THRONES SERIES FINALE SPOILERS FREE#
It isn’t enough that she has what she wants, now she must free all of the slaves in all the world. “The war is not over” she tells her Unsullied after making Grey Worm Master of War. It is in this moment it becomes apparent she must be stopped. Then she speaks to the Unsullied and there is a clear world domination theme. I was really hoping the madness was fleeting and now that her enemies had been destroyed, she could rebuild. Based off of this speech alone, I thought we would see a turnaround in her character. Her speech to the Dothraki calls back to one she gave many seasons ago before having them cross the sea to fight for her. In this moment she is a dragon, not just the Dragon Queen. After Daenerys flies in on Drogon, there is the shot of her walking towards the edge of the platform as his wings rise behind her. This moves us into the most iconic shot in the whole season, probably the whole series. As much as he was away from King’s Landing after the whole clan turned on him, he is still a Lannister that watched his whole city burn. Keep in mind: these are all Tyrion’s people. No matter your feelings about Jaime, Tyrion, or Cersei the moment Tyrion moves the bricks to find his slain siblings is absolutely heartbreaking. After crawling through the rubble that blocks it off from the rest of the castle, he finds amongst the debris Jaime’s gold hand. He heads to the dungeons to learn if his brother and sister were able to make it out alive. Jon and Davos both warn him not to, but Tyrion has no intention of going to see Daenerys right away. Tyrion immediately takes off to go into the castle on the pretence of finding Daenerys, which isn’t wise considering he committed treason by setting Jaime free last episode. He knows this isn’t what he was fighting for, but lucky for him he does have a claim to that super fancy throne he has the option to exercise. Innocent men, women, and children are found burnt alive in the streets. I had zero issues with these last five men being executed, but Jon is definitely taken aback by the destruction he finds. She’s been saying it all along that all of her enemies must be destroyed. This is the moment I had been waiting for since Kahl Drogo poured melted gold onto Vaserys’s head, and it finally happened. Jon comes across Grey Worm ready to execute the last five Lannister soldiers and tries to stop him, but the Unsullied make it clear to Jon he is not to interfere with the Queen’s orders. The episode opens with Tyrion, Jon, Davos, and others surveying the damage that was done to King’s Landing. What even happened last night? I know I normally say beware of these articles so filled with spoilers, but I genuinely feel jealous of you, if you missed last night’s episode. I wasn’t expecting every major plot twist and storyline introduced to be ultimately completely ignored.
While the last two episodes didn’t seem to be pushing the show in the direction we had expected on any level, I most certainly wasn’t expecting a major character to be killed half way through and never mentioned again. Martin to release the last two books so we are not left with…whatever that was. With last night’s series finale there is only one thing for certain: we are all waiting with bated breath for George R.R.
