The Game Of Thrones Is Over (And The Finale Disappoints)

     “There's nothing more powerful in the world than a good story.”                                                                                    Tyrion Lannister      Game of Thrones aired its last episode this morning, and like the other episodes of Season 8, writing wise, to a lot of its fans, it leaves much to be desired.

Accepting that the only reason perhaps why you met this someone is so this someone could destroy you. Seeing that your bank account and piggy bank are on the verge of depletion. Watching disappointing final episodes of Game of Thrones. Confirming that most o...
