Rewrite for the ending of GOT

Published May 22, 2019 · Updated July 6, 2022

Hey Guys,

So, I have been pretty unhappy with this season, like many others. I actually think it would have been better to give the ending a complete and saddening twist.

Leave everything the same up until Season 8 Ep 5, then open Ep 6 the same way, with Tyrion and Jon walking through the streets…Grey Worm killing the Lannister guards, and then cut to Bran in Winterfell, seeing what has happened and telling Sansa that something must be done. Bran and Sansa decide to have Bran warg into a raven to get closer to Daenerys.

Cut back to Dany arriving on Drogon and Tyrion renouncing his position as was done, and then arrested.

Everything continues as was shown, and then When Dany enters the Throne room, have the raven (bran) fly in and as Jon enters Dany notices the raven. She stares at it for a moment and then turns to Jon.

She goes to him, tells him about when she couldn’t count to 20, and embraces him, and asks him to join her, he says his lines, and “You are my Queen, now and always” and the raven caws. Dany stabs Jon instead, and he dies the same way on the ground. (Blood pooling as a call back to when he was murdered before) Dany cries out in anguish (she really did love him, but she knows he was a threat to her) and Drogon flies up, sees her crying and Dany stares at the Throne, realizing her pursuit of it has turned her into this. She looks at Drogon and says “Darcarys” and he torches the throne. In anger, rage, madness, sadness, and pain – She mounts Drogon and goes on another killing rampage. Tears stream down her face as she kills her own men, and anyone who is near. Tyrion sees from his cell window and hangs his head in shame, realizing that Jon failed. Arya sees what is happening and gets Davos and they ride North as quickly as they can. Bran goes back into his body, and Sansa asks how bad it is. He calmly replies, “Worse than we had feared, Jon is dead and the real Winter is here. The Mad Queen is coming for us next”

Dany ends up near the waterfall where she and Jon kissed, she is still crying and says, “Everyone and everything I have ever loved has been taken from me. If this is who I am to become, so be it” and she mounts Drogon again for Winterfell.

We watch as she burns everything in her path, Arya, and Davos not making it to Winterfell in time. Sansa left hiding in the crypts with some other Northern women and children. Dany and Drogon fly off to destroy more.

Arya and Davos get to Winterfell and see the destruction and Arya finds Sansa in the crypts, and Sansa tells Arya what Dany has done, that Jon is dead. Arya tells Sansa, “I will end the Queen, I swear it” and leaves Winterfell alone.

Dany continues on burning cities and towns until she gets back to King’s Landing. She lands on Drogon near the Throne room. Her hair is now frazzled, (she walks toward the now melted throne and steps over Jon’s body) She turns around tear stains on her cheeks, and she sits on what’s left of the melted throne, her head slightly turned down. She looks up, and we see her eye twitching, as she mutters “Burn Them All”

And then it fades to black.

It is super dark, but it is Game of Thrones, you either win or you die.

Loved your Podcast, sad to see the show end, and hope to fall in love with another Amazing World soon!
