Well, was he happy?
*Spoilers ahead*
In the early hours of Monday morning this week, Game of Thrones came to an end.
And most of us were shook after watching.
Jon killed Dany, and was exiled to the Night’s Watch as a result – despite it being somewhat of a mercy killing.
Sansa claimed the north as her own, becoming Queen of the region.
Ayra pissed off west of Westeros, to discover the rest of the world.
But the biggest plot twist of all was the fact that Bran Stark took the crown, and became King.
CURVEBALL. A curveball that left a lot of people pissed off tbh.
A number of the characters have weighed in on the final episode, but now we have the opinion we’ve been waiting for.
George RR Martin, the author of A Song of Ice and Fire, has given his opinion of the final episode of the story he wrote.
He wrote a farewell blog to the HBO series that changed his life, where he gave some insight into the show, and his future.
The big point made? He pointed out that “television is very different medium” from books… fair.
He also mentioned that the Game of Thrones showrunners, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, had just “six hours for this final season.”
“I expect these last two books of mine will fill 3000 manuscript pages between them before I’m done… and if more pages and chapters and scenes are needed, I’ll add them,” he wrote.
The big thing we all want to know though, is if the books will end in the same way as the show.
Probably not, it would seem.
“Book or show, which will be the ‘real’ ending? It’s a silly question,” he concludes.
“How about this? I’ll write it. You read it. Then everyone can make up their own mind, and argue about it on the Internet.”
We’ll have to wait and see.
