Gene and Big D,

I just found you guys this season and have really enjoyed listening along. Things have not gone the way I imagined them but hearing Big D say to enjoy it while it lasts helped me get over my disappointment. It”s hard to believe that Jon wasn’t killed by the Unsullied immediately. I can only assume it”s because they are only used to following orders. And I found it hard to believe Sansa”s reasoning for the North to stay independent. They won’t bend the knee for Bran but made her Queen? I can’t help but wonder if Sansa would have felt that way if she was chosen as ruler of the 7 kingdoms herself. But I guess this scene did help show that ultimately Dany did fulfill her destiny of breaking the wheel, it”s just heartbreaking that she didn’t realize she had become the wheel. In my mind, I can only hope that her vision from the house of the undying is true and she”s reunited with Drogo and their son in the Night Lands. Jon”s ending was harder for me to swallow. Here”s a guy who”s parents followed love above duty and he ends up having to right things by putting duty above love. And then he still ends up right back where he started at the Wall. The magic of the final episode for me is that each person that watched it has their own unique perspective on how it was so wrong. I think where people are most hung up or affected is more related to their own personal stories than the show itself. So I guess Tyrion”s speech about stories being all we really have is true. Thanks for being a way for so many people to be a part of the story.

Cheers,
Jennifer
