Our watch has ended.
After eight long seasons of battles, betrayals, bloodlust and scheming, Game of Thrones has finally come to an end.
For years, we’ve wondered about who would sit on the Iron Throne and become the next ruler of the Seven Kingdoms.
But while we’ve always envisioned the likes of Daenerys Targeyen, Jon Snow or even Sansa Stark on the Iron Throne, in the end, it was somebody we never even considered – Bran Stark.
Yep, the Three-Eyed Raven ended up being selected as King.
LISTEN: We discuss the final episode of Game Of Thrones:
Although the final episode did answer many of our lingering questions surrounding the fate of the Iron Throne and many of the show’s main characters, we still have a lot of questions.
So until the inevitable Game of Thrones spin-offs start rolling in, here’s all the questions we still have about Game of Thrones.
Why was Jon exiled to the Night’s Watch?
At the end of the episode, Jon Snow was banished to the Night’s Watch, presumably in an attempt to keep the Unsullied happy after he killed Daenerys Targaryen.
But the problem is, it all seems a little bit… confusing.
Why did Bran agree to send Jon away?

Prophecies are words, which are open to interpretation and rarely filled as you expect- Dany learnt that with Karl Drogo’s death. Jaime and Tyrion brought about Cersei’s death together, with Tyrion’s plan and Jamie’s actions, based on when Jamie previously saved Tyrion. But it didn’t really matter because she would have died anyway- via the queen that Tyrion brought to kings landing. In the end the prophesy was true, but ultimately unimportant.
And the lord of light had to plunge a sword into the heart of his lover to defeat the great darkness that lay over the world... sound familiar?
We loved GOT.........and we loved the way it ended too.
There was plenty of room for at least a couple of spin-offs - particularly featuring Arya .
Thing is whatever spin-off happens it will have to be every bit as huge as GOT.
Some of the expected resolves could happen if Arya is still around.
As for King Bran - he can "connect" to the dragon (which is what he actually implied ).
Let's not forget that GOT lived it's life in another reality - in an Earth-like place where magic happens.
There's no America (for eg), but it has thrilled the likes of historians and Medieval re-enactors and anyone who loves a touch of myth & magic and full-on fantasy played for real.
We'll definitely miss it.
