FYI: Spoilers ahead. It should be obvious, considering the title, but just in case you landed here by mistake … If you haven’t seen the “Game of Thrones” Finale (Season 8, Episode 8) LEAVE! NOW!!
After eight seasons and, ironically, eight years, HBO’s biggest and most popular show ever, Game of Thrones aired its highly anticipated (and also highly dreaded) series finale Sunday night (May 19).
Ring the bells.

While many fans have petitioned for HBO to redo GoT’s entire eighth and final season, those of us with good sense in our heads know that there’s ZERO chance of that ever happening, no matter how many signatures are acquired via Change.org.
The show ended how it ended and that’s that. If you were actually paying attention to all 73 episodes, the “Game of Thrones” storyline actually reached a final point quite well, though some could argue that the way we got there could have been done a bit better.
However, regardless of how you may feel about how Game of Thrones ended, the show’s titular characters, Jon Snow aka Aegon Targaryen (played by Kit Harington) and his auntie/lover/queen Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) warned us that their characters would receive not-so-happy endings months ago.
On the red carpet of the GoT Season 8 premiere party in April, when an ET reporter asked Emilia Clarke, Jacob Anderson (Grey Worm) and Nathalie Emmanuel (Missandei) if they were “happy how things ended,” Clarke couldn’t hide her disappointment as she awkwardly yelled “BEST SEASON EVER!” while everyone laughed.
And earlier this year, during an interview while promoting his new movie at the time, How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, Kit Harington was asked to sum up the Thrones finale in one word.
The word he chose? DISAPPOINTING.
So there you have it, Jon Snow and Daenerys knew all along (obviously), but we didn’t listen. WE DIDN’T LISTEN!!
