(Photo past HBO)
HBO's fantasy ballsy Game of Thrones ended on Sunday dark with a finale that tied together many loose ends – nosotros now know the fate of doltish Edmure Tully, for instance – and left many all the same hanging.
One matter we learned is that in this world of Ice and Burn down, a dragon is not a creature, simply a passionate, intelligent participant in the world around him. Drogon chose not to burn Jon Snow, despite the fact that he killed its female parent. Book readers will dear that touch.
The critics are still weighing in with their verdict on "The Iron Throne," merely an early count of reviews, shows them split roughly down the middle, which gave the series finale an early Rotten score. (We should know in the next 24 hours where the score will settle.)
Until then, let'due south await at some of the biggest moments of the episode.
1. Tyrion Digs Out Cersei and Jaime

Despite actress Lena Headey'south Instagram farewell last calendar week, we were unable to believe Cersei and Jaime were dead until Tyrion dug them out of the rubble on Sunday night.
The dead lovers are entwined and nevertheless beautiful in expiry. Because that they were crushed by the Ruby Continue, that is something.
2. Daenerys' "Intermission the Cycle" Oral communication

It just got all Hunger Games upwards in here. The scene has a fascist artful – very Triumph of the Volition, the 1935 Nazi propaganda film directed by Leni Riefenstahl. Or – some other way of looking at it – like any Star Wars Stormtrooper assembly always.
The Mother of Dragons first cheers her Dothraki bloodriders for defeating the men in the fe suits, tearing down their stone houses, and delivering the Seven Kingdoms to her. She names Grey Worm the Chief of War.

She addresses the Unsullied in Old Valyrian, congratulating them on being "liberators." One person in the audience who may empathize her is Arya, and she does not wait happy.
Tyrion sidles upwards to Daenerys, who accuses him of treason. He throws down his Paw of the Queen pin, and she promptly has him detained.
Arya sneaks up on Jon: "Y'all'll e'er exist a threat to her. I know a killer when I see one."
3. Tyrion and Jon Come to an Undertanding

Tyrion argues that Daenerys has gone beyond her initial purpose, now intending to recut the globe under her rule.
"Love is more powerful than reason," Tyrion says.
"Beloved is the expiry of duty," Jon says, quoting Maester Aemon.
"You lot are the shield that guards the realms of men," Tyrion reminds Jon. "Who is the greatest threat to the people at present? … Do you think I'1000 the last human being she'll execute? Who is more than dangerous than the rightful heir to the Atomic number 26 Throne?"
The clincher? Tyrion reminds Jon that Sansa and Arya won't bend the articulatio genus.
4. Jon Kills Daenerys

Kickoff, Drogon emerging from under a pile of ash to greet/audit Jon was spectacular – the effects are, of form, perfect this episode.
Daenerys lives the moment she dreamed about: her decease.
Jon begs for mercy for Tyrion and the people who followed Cersei, but Daenerys refuses, painting a flick of an entirely new world society: "I know what is proficient. And then exercise you."
He does.

After her pitch/proposal, she and Jon kiss.
"You are my queen – now and e'er," he says, equally he stabs her.
Exist comforted: Drogo and Daenerys' son are waiting for her.
5. Drogon Melts the Iron Throne

Drogon senses something is amiss and touches down behind Jon. The dragon grieving for his mother is both fearsome and moving. At his full top, he resembles Maleficent in Disney classic Sleeping Dazzler.
After seriously threatening Jon, Drogon melts the Fe Throne, picks upwardly Daenerys, and flies away. We're hoping non to a red priestess of R'hllor for some resurrection ritual.
vi. "All hail Bran the Broken, First of his Name, King of the Andals and the First Men, Lord of the Six Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm"

Grey Worm brings prisoner Tyrion before a quango of lords and ladies of the realm. Amid them: Samwell Tarly; Lord Edmure Tully; Arya, Bran, and Sansa Stark; Brienne of Tarth; Ser Davos Seaworth; Gendry Baratheon, obviously all the same Lord of Storm'south Cease; Yara Greyjoy; a Dornish lord; inexplicably hot Robin Arryn, lord of the Eyrie; and Lord Arryn's bannerman Lord Yohn Royce.
They are here to decide the fate of Tyrion, Jon Snow, and the realm overall. Davos offers Grey Worm the Reach (Highgarden, former home of the Tyrells), but Grey Worm is being stubborn and just wants "justice."
Arya almost steals the scene entirely, threatening to cut Yara's pharynx for suggesting that Jon should die.

Tyrion argues that the gathering should choose a new king to decide anybody'due south fate. Looks like Edmure returned simply to brand an ass of himself again, but Sansa stops him before he finishes nominating himself for rex. Sam suggests an open up election and is laughed dorsum into his seat.
Tyrion denies that he wants the throne and suggests "Bran the Broken" – and and so information technology is. When Sansa notes that Bran can't accept children, Tyrion says it's for the best.
"That is the wheel the queen wanted to break. From at present on rulers will not exist born. They will be called – on this spot – by the lords and ladies of Westeros to serve the realm," Tyrion suggests.
Sansa breaks the Northward off to exist an contained kingdom. Considering: Sansa.
Bran names Tyrion his Paw.
7. Closure

Tyrion informs Jon that his cousin has ordered him back to the Nighttime'southward Watch. Grim, but not death.
Grey Worm heads for Naath; presumably, he and the Unsullied volition protect the people who cannot protect themselves.

"What's west of Westeros? … No one knows. That's where all the maps stop. That'southward where I'm going," a remarkably emotional Arya informs her family unit while saying farewell to Jon.
Brienne becomes Lord Commander of the Kingsguard and fills in Jaime Lannister'south pages with brave deeds.

Bran the Cleaved's small council includes Ser Davos (Main of Ships), Ser Bronn (Master of Coin – this is another bad idea, Tyrion), and Grandmaester Tarly. Bran notes that they're missing a primary of whisperers, a chief of constabulary, and a chief of war. While Tyrion addresses those vacancies, Bran is going to "search" for Drogon. We really wanted to see him warg into a dragon this flavour – alas, information technology was not to be.

The final words of the series are a dirge for Sansa: "Queen in the North!" The final image: men, women, and children following Tormund and Jon into the frozen due north, as nosotros end where nosotros began, heading into the wilds Beyond the Wall.
