Nah...they are getting remarried and will sit on the throne together...happily ever after.

Anyone who didn't see Dany's heel turn coming obviously isn't a wrestling fan, LOL. That's been telegraphed for many seasons already, and I personally loved watching it play out. They would make us love her...then give a glimmer of madness. Then make us forget and love her again...then another glimmer. Until finally, boom. If they hadn't made us love her so much, it wouldn't have had the impact it did. This way the audience could feel the same sense of betrayal Jon, Tyrian, etc did.

I agree that I expected a more epic end for Cersei. Really wanted one of her brothers to take her out, or even one of the Stark girls. But going out with a whimper instead of a bang would be more tragic for her character, so in that way, I guess she got what she deserved. Dying among the dragon skulls was a nice touch. And who knows...maybe they/she managed to survive. We didn't actually see them dead, so horror movie rules may yet apply, LOL.

Overall I enjoyed it. It wasn't what I was expecting, but then again this show has always been good at not giving us what we want/expect. I loved Tyrian explaining to Jon that Dany has always been nuts...we just didn't care because before now it was pointed at people we agreed deserved it.

I'm not in love with Bran being king, but it does make some sense. My biggest complaint is that it was way more of a happily ever after ending than I was expecting...which doesn't feel very GoT-ish. It would have felt more natural for Sansa to go all red wedding and have Arya slaughter the entire council when they didn't appoint her, LOL. It just seemed like a lot of everyone riding off into the sunset and the Starks being happily in charge pretty much everywhere. Again...I do not hate it, but wasn't expecting it to end this way.

Overall, possibly the best series ever, and for me this season did not ruin that. Some questionable choices, sure...but still pretty amazing. Glad one of my favorite pins is based on one of my favorite series!

Well, it mattered from the standpoint of Drogon not turning him into BBQ. If he wasn't Targaryen, he would have been gone faster than Thanos can snap his fingers.

That stood out for me too though...he is the rightful heir to the throne, and thanks to Varys, everyone knew it. Not sure why he couldn't have "simply" made the stand that he was taking his rightful place. Dany wasn't really queen, so he didn't really kill the queen. And even if he did...he "is" king...so no harm no foul? Ehh...I don't like politics in the real world either, so I don't really know.

Also...Drogon melting the throne was f'ing awesome.
