Well this isn't what I -OR- half of the world that watches Game of Thrones was expecting. I think a lot of characters made huge development throughout this show's run, and from the previous episode to this one, all that growth has been tested. I can't believe this magnificent series has finally ended. I truly believe the finale was done right and that any other ending would have been mediocre at best. Finally, major props and praise to the writers, directors, producers, and most definitely the ACTORS. Thank you for 8 Great seasons!
