![]() Unbelievably, against all odds, Edmure Tully made it through to the very end. He goes on to create more of Westeros' most amazing devices. Maester Wolkan is also credited in this episode. She doesn't get much of a say in the final episode, except to demand some sort of justice. Yara Greyjoy, the lady reaper of Pyke, appears to have assumed the mantle of Queen of the Iron Islands. At least he finally got off that row boat. In the penultimate episode, Dany makes him Lord of Storm's End and he's seen in the final meeting just sort of hanging out and agreeing to the proposition of Bran as king. Gendry Baratheon, his thirst and unrequited love for Arya aside, finished up pretty well. Yohn Royce, Robin Arryn, a new Prince of Dorne and a couple of unnamed lords all sit around debating who will be king. The UnsulliedĪfter Daenerys meets her end, we get a meeting between all the major lords and ladies of the kingdoms in the dragon pit. The titles of Master of War, Master of Whisperers and Master of Laws were all vacant at the end of the show. Did she come to King's Landing with him? Please tell me Marya Seaworth is OK. However, I am worried about his wife who he mentions in passing and hasn't spoken of for years. Davos is a seafaring man and a great smuggler. She's got the best heart and found her place in the world. Despite having her heart broken by Jaime Lannister, she even penned a positive tribute to his life and deeds. She is the most capable knight who remains and she fulfilled her duty to protect the Stark kids as well as she ever could. Ser Brienne of Tarth: Lord Commander of the Kingsguardīrienne taking her seat at the Small Council is one of the show's small wins, in our books. Seems like a good spot for Bronn - I am just sad that the show did him dirty before getting to this place. He also has a position on the Small Council and, as Master of Coin, he knows where all the money is flowing. In his final scenes he delivers a book called "A Song of Ice and Fire" he has written about the events that have transpired, in what seems like a pretty obvious callback to one of the other biggest fantasy franchises that have ever existed.īronn's final season was kind of a garbage fire of rushed writing but in the end he got what he wanted. No matter who ruled, Sam always seemed destined to be the Grand Maester. With Bran named leader and Tyrion named Hand of the King, one of the lingering questions would be "Who serves on the King's Small Council?" and honestly, if you asked anyone this 6 episodes ago, I doubt you would have got all of these correct. Small CouncilĪ small council with Tormund's famed "big woman" HBO ![]() Tyrion is the man for that job and before a meeting with the small council at the end of the episode, Tyrion shuffles a few chairs around. Not only that, he ended up as Hand of the King. After being locked away by the Unsullied, he suggested a new King - Bran the Broken - and was spared by the new ruler. But our guy, the man who drinks and knows things, was spared Death-by-Dracarys after convincing Jon that Dany had to die. Tyrion, after seeing Dany's wrath as she burned the men, women and children of King's Landing, admitted his treason and handed back his Hand of the King pin early in the final episode. As we hit the finale, the biggest hope for House Lannister came from the smallest man, one Tyrion Lannister. Tywin is long gone and poor uncle Kevan was blown to smithereens in Cersei's mad Sept bombing. Their children, Myrcella and Joffrey were dispatched by poison and Tommen came to meet his maker after meet the ground at high velocity. With Jaime and Cersei Lannister sharing a tomb at the conclusion of episode 5, House Lannister was basically in ruins. "I don't want to be Hand of the King" - The eventual Hand of the King HBO Her final scene had her take up the crown in Winterfell, as Northmen bowed down around her before raising their swords and chanting "Queen in the North." Sansa's final two seasons were perhaps the most expertly plotted in the entire show and her rise to "most intelligent person in the world" was well done. The question that remained heading into the finale was would she rule the North or would she rule the entire realm? She said it herself - she's no longer a little bird. No word on that poor white horse that Arya rode at the end of episode 5.Īfter learning basically every trick in the book from some real unsavory characters like Littlefinger and Ramsay Bolton, Sansa was a lock to ascend to power. Is there potential for a sequel here? Honestly, it won't be the same without the Hound to follow her 'round. Arya Stark, arguably the most skilled assassin in the Seven Kingdoms and the woman who defeated Death incarnate is off to enjoy her time as the realm's Marco Polo or Christopher Columbus. She's sailing west of Westeros, to a land which has never been documented on the maps. Arya is following in the footsteps of… well, no-one. ![]()
