Over the years it has always looked like Westeros would be a place completely unable to ever secure everlasting peace – a perfect fantastical representation of our own world – and yet the writers finished the story without any seeds of conflict or drama.
Without that conflict, and without questions about the future, I don’t really have a reason to continue thinking about and analyzing the show, and that honestly depresses me.
My biggest fear going into this finale was that the show would be given a “happy ending,” and that’s basically what we got, with every character placed exactly where they should be to a frustrating extent (even those who openly protest their placement like Jon, Tyrion, and Bran are just too perfectly at home in their roles).
