GAME OF THRONES SPOILER ALERT

The next on the list is probably my least favourite, although that might in part be because it reminds me of the worst episode in the entire series. Having re-watched the whole thing, I don't think series 7 and 8 were anywhere near as bad as people make out (although by the standards of series 1-6 they were definitely not as good). But the very last episode was a real disappointment....

A Song of Ice and Fire

Greyworm: "You are not here to speak!!" and then he lets Tyrion hold centre stage and dictate events....
Image


Apart from Lord Edmure making an arse of himself, this entire scene was pretty embarrassing....
Image


So what was happening here? Was Jon leaving the Night's Watch and heading out to live with the Wildlings? Isn't it supposed to be the Long Winter? What is this all about?

GAME OF THRONES SPOILER ALERT

The next track is another excellent one but could do with being a lot, lot longer.

The Red Woman

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ma6S8_oQkbI


One of the most touching relationships in the entire series was that between the Onion Knight Ser Davos and Princess Shireen....until the Red Woman intervened....
Image


The end of the usurper King Renly.... killed by a shadow in the form of Stannis that Lady Melisandre gave birth too..... like you do
Image


For someone we were repeatedly told was the finest battlefield commander on Westeros, Stannis was a bit of a buffoon wasn't he? Leaving his military logic and humanity behind on the word of Lady Melisandre was never going to work out well for him was it?

GAME OF THRONES SPOILER ALERT

And so to the penultimate toon. This was sung by Podrick before the battle against the nightwalkers. The version here is wonderfully string heavy with a choral ending and is really quite beautifully sad.

Jenny of Oldstones

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-d7J_QVX2U4


This song is sung on the night before the big fight and there is a beautifully touching scene where Ser Jaime knights Lady Brienne - not a dry eye in the house....
Image


The Ser Jaime and Lady Brienne relationship was another winner for the series. Hatred and loathing turned, over time into friendship, respect and a little more... but ultimately Ser Jaime couldn't help what he was and what he felt for his sister.... wonderfully done.
Image


Another classic GoT match was the interplay between Arya and The Hound which started on their 'road trip'. Arya's true feelings for him (which she didn't want to admit) came out in her dealings with the Feceless Men.

GAME OF THRONES SPOILER ALERT

And so to the final track. On its own its not the best piece of music, but with memories of the battle and how it ended, it does enough I think to warrant inclusion.

The Night King

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1frgt0D_f4


The denouement of the White Walkers. After all the speculation it was Arya that delivered the final blow with this track as the background
Image


Lady Olenna deserves a mention if only for getting rid of Joffrey - another excellent character and wonderful actress. Her scene with the High Sparrow was one of two consumate performers, showing what can be done with a great script.
Image


Too many great characters for all to get a mention so here is a summary
