How Game of Thrones Season 8 should have ended (according to me)

Jun 21, 2022

This is a 4-episode treatment I wrote [very quickly] straight after watching the much-disputed finale to Game of Thrones in 2019. It picks up at episode four, because the opening three episodes were fine – more than fine, in the case of The Long Night, which was stunning. I also added an extra episode called The Trident.

Dozens of ravens begin to gather on the trees around Varys, squawking incessantly. He hears the servant scream in the distance and his horse throws him off in fear, galloping away. The ravens all go quiet at once. Alone in the dark, Varys watches as Nymeria and her wolf pack emerge from the trees, surrounding him. Nymeria’s eyes are glazed white.

It’s raw and unedited and utterly pointless, but if you’re a fan of the show, you might enjoy it.
