From 'Game of Thrones' Season 8, Episode 5. I don’t even know what to say about these two at this point, except that this is a very dumb ending to the show’s two best characters, and I hate it. The two Lannisters meet their fates, together, below the ground of King’s Landing. Jaime and Cersei Lannister: How unceremonious. Qyburn: Standing between the two Cleganes (lol, why), the Mountain chucks him to the side, crushing Qyburn atop hard debris from Dany’s destruction. He still believed himself to be the one who killed Jaime despite choking on his own blood. The mercenary army were burned to a crisp in no time, and Ser Strickland died from a case of Grey Worm.Įuron Greyjoy: The maniacal sea pirate died alone at the hand(s) of Jaime Lannister. Ser Harry Strickland: The captain of the Golden Company in Essos got his ass whupped right from the start when Dany and Drogon came up from behind. Varys: Technically not a casualty of the “Last War.” Varys was the first major death, being burned alive by Drogon after Dany learned he was trying to use Jon’s lineage to dethrone the queen.

It wasn’t a war it was a one-sided massacre that saw Dany become exactly the monster she didn’t want to be. HBO “The Last War” Damage Reportĭany’s invasion of King’s Landing went exactly as she hoped it would - everyone else be damned. Jon Snow led the last of Dany's armies to King's Landing. Scroll down a little afterward for the results of Cleganebowl. Here’s a brief rundown on who lived and who died in Game of Thrones. And Snow, to his dismay, is powerless to stop it from happening.īut hey, at least we got something we’ve always wanted: CLEGANEBOWL! Sandor and Gregor finally crossed swords in a battle that fans have been waiting for since Season 1. Dany violates whatever would be Westeros’ version of the Geneva Conventions, and the whole place erupts into chaos, with Dany’s forces just massacring everyone in sight: surrendered soldiers, women, and children alike. With victory well within her grasp, Dany takes things to an absurd level, using Drogon to light up King’s Landing like it was a Kentucky barbecue. And the whole time, Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) has box seats to the end of her reign, from the burning of the Golden Company to the massacre of the Lannister army. In the penultimate episode of HBO’s Game of Thrones, the “Last War” commences with Jon (Kit Harington) leading Dany’s (Emilia Clarke) forces into King’s Landing to take the Red Keep. To paraphrase from another universe: You didn’t see that coming? In “The Bells,” the so-called “Last War” ends as soon as it begins, with Daenerys’ forces annihilating King’s Landing - and cementing Daenerys as the “Mad Queen” she always feared she would become.
