8 Wild Ideas To End Game Of Thrones Without Disappointing Everyone

Daenerys, sick of having no friends and of being the only dragonriding blonde in the world, decides to fly off to find old Valyria and see if the Doom still holds sway. No one misses her, but every castle in the seven kingdoms surreptitiously starts building giant crossbows, just in case. She is never seen in Westeros again; her Dothraki and Unsullied surreptitiously sneak off while no one is looking.

Jon’s parentage is made public and he is declared King, his joint Targaryen and Stark heritage holding the north and south together. Sansa becomes his Hand while Arya takes charge of Winterfell, although no one is ever brave enough to call her the Lady of anything.

Ser Brienne and the newly knighted Ser Podrick Payne become the first of the new Kingsguard; Davos Seaworth and Samwell Tarly return to their lands to live out the rest of their lives in a very relieved peace.

Tyrion, last of the Lannisters, returns to Casterley Rock with Bronn (who, of course, doesn’t get to be Lord of Highgarden and is very lucky not to be executed). The two bicker like an old married couple in a seventies sitcom the entire way there, which comprises the entire final twenty minutes of the episode.

The end credits is comprised of a lengthy blooper reel footage from all eight seasons soundtracked to War’s ‘Why Can’t We Be Friends?’
