The women of Game of Thrones were once seen as victims. Now, they are conquerors.
The final episode of Game of Thrones, season six, has aired, and it contained a few plot twists we never saw coming.
The Winds of Winter served up a few grisly deaths (some that had us cheering, to be honest) but it ended with the key female characters firmly placed in the prime positions of power.
Game of Thrones full recap. Rosie Waterland, Laura Brodnik and Kahla Preston discuss the shocking fan theories that were proven true, the shows most surprising death and where our favourite characters are going next.
Cersei is now the Queen, and she looked pretty happy as she settled herself on that iconic Iron Throne. The woman went through hell and back to get there, and the pain, grief and triumphant she experienced practically radiated from her face during that moment of victory.
Daenerys has finally started the journey we’ve all been waiting for her to embark on, having set sail for Westeros with an army (and dragons) by her side.
In one of the episodes more shocking, and satisfying twists, Arya Stark exacted brutal revenge against the Frey family for her mother and brother’s murder at the Red Wedding.
The Game of Thrones world is now in the hands of the ladies, and we couldn’t be happier.
Listen to the full episode of the The Binge here with Rosie Waterland and Laura Brodnik.

I think Jamie believes Cersei killed Tommen which could cause her some drama in the next season!
Even if she didn't physically push him, she is still directly responsible. Tommen may even have believed she perished in the fire as well, causing him to think that almost everyone he loved is now dead.
Good point!!
Nope. He was stopped from going to the Sept by the Mountain, who only obeys Cersei. I'd say his suicide was more related to his sudden religious fervour and his horror that he just knew his own mother had committed such an atrocity.
That's true - I'd forgotten it was the Mountain who stopped him. Cersei is still responsible, all the same!
you have to give Margaery her props as well...she was the only one clever enough to work out that something was wrong and it was only the High Sparrows fanaticism that got her killed. She deserved a lot better and I hope Granny Tyrell rains hell down on Cersei for it!
