Elsewhere in an explosive season finale, the Wall came down thanks to the Night King’s wight dragon and Littlefinger finally got his comeuppance.
Incest has been mocked and ridiculed throughout Game of Thrones thanks to Cersei and Jaime Lannister, but the matter was a little less clear cut in the season 7 finale.
It saw Daenerys Targaryen and Aegon Targaryen (formally known as Jon Snow) have sex as they prepared to head north and meet the White Walker threat – a climax to a romantic plot arc that has been going on all season.
Jon and Dany’s tryst still managed to titillate hordes of viewers however, the two characters being the most swooned over and shipped in the show in spite of their shared Targaryen ancestry.
