Heh. I'll contend that Game of Thrones seasons 1-4 are the greatest slices of TV in history. They ran out of book material in season 5 and fell off a cliff. The last two seasons are some of the worst you'll ever see, retroactively ruining all that came before it. That matters.

Treat season 4 as the true finale until (lol, as if) George finishes the books. Think about it (spoilers):


• Stannis saved the seven kingdoms from the 100k wildling invasion. They haven't completely ruined his book character by making him a villain for no reason at this point, when in the books he has one of the greatest heel-->face turns ever when he shows up to save the day at the wall. "Lord Seaworth is a man of humble birth, but he reminded me of my duty, when all I could think of was my rights. I had the cart before the horse, Davos said. I was trying to win the throne to save the kingdom, when I should have been trying to save the kingdom to win the throne." Stannis pointed north. "There is where I'll find the enemy I was born to fight."

• ⁠Arya and Tyrion set sail to start new lives across the sea.

• ⁠Brienne would continue to search for the Stark girls across the 7 kingdoms.

• ⁠Bronn got his nice big castle.

• ⁠Jon helped save the wall and will probably serve as the new commander of the Nights Watch.

• ⁠Jaime is back in Kings Landing and is content to serve as kingsguard to Tommen.

• ⁠Cersei is still Cersei, plotting against her enemies.

• ⁠Sansa started a new life in the vale, safe from the Lannisters.

• ⁠Danaerys settled down in Mereen or Yunkai or whatever looking to marry Dario after ending the slave trade.

• ⁠Dorne?

• ⁠Euron Greyjoy and the Iron Islands? Nope
