Holding up a mirror to humanity is always a good thing. Millions of people all over the world just looked. Well done, George RR Martin. And well done HBO for taking such a huge, expensive chance.I've read all the books and seen all the episodes. It's a great story about human conditions especially given its historical roots in the War of the Roses. The undead posed a great threat and I think it's an allegory for the human condition.

But my prediction is that he will abdicate to Sansa, and go North. They will certainly not marry. Sansa will marry no one. GoT, for that matter, will not end romantically for anyone. GoT has been a great distraction from the actual violence, genocide, ecocide, murderous intrigue, superstition, fanaticism, barbarism, partisanship, factionalism, raw hatreds, testosterone poisoning, and, not to put too fine a point to it, horror, playing out in the news. Martin is a wonderful storyteller, the show runners are gifted and epic filmmakers, but for"human complexity," one should read Homer.

The threat of the White Walkers and “death” was only neutralized because many people from many backgrounds and ways of thinking came together. If only it were so easy for us. However, it is nice to see this ideal played out on screen, even if it only lasts for a little while. Who will take the throne at the end of it all?

"Thrones" has been the most brilliantly cast and filmed show ever ... I have watched it twice, once to enjoy the story and another time to take in the incredible performances, costumes and lighting. The lighting alone is a work of art each and every time.Jason Perrone of Schenectady, NY writes:I think the throne should be permanently destroyed and Jon, Sansa and Tyrion should create a new form of government, one that will be for the good of the people for the first time in Westeros.

Never saw it

I don’t care ........

After Dani puts down Jon Snow's rebellion and executes Tyrion, we pull back to find the whole story was told by Sam to his kids decades later, after Dani's fifty year reign of shaking and baking the realms. Sam takes a deep breath to tell us of the others, and then he dies.

Long live King Baretheon of Storms End. And his Queen, lady Stark the Queen slayer. GoT

For anyone who doesn’t watch Game of Thrones all this news is annoying af

Never even watched it, too busy living life to watch TV
