Game of Thrones has proven to be no exception, as with the fifth episode of its eighth season the HBO series not only unleashed over-the-top madness, but key paths for all of its most important characters.
After all, a final season can be completely filled with table setting, but the second to last always serves as the guiding hand that will lead audiences into the last chapter.
