In the end, ‘Game of Thrones’ showed that scheming and behind-the-scenes maneuvering are overrated.
The actually ending, however, was more of a surprise.
Daenerys Targaryen, who had been on a series-long quest to take the throne and restore her family’s claim to it, successsfully toppled the previous queen, Cersei Lannister, in the penultimate episode, and finally touched the Iron Throne in the finale. However, she was soon stabbed to death, in the throne room, by her former lover Jon Snow, leading her dragon Drogon to incinerate the throne itself.
While Jon, as the secret son of a Targaryen prince, had a claim to the Iron Throne himself, he was soon imprisoned and exiled, leading to a summit of the lords of Westeros to select a new king.
