And like Aerys, Daenerys was killed by one of her most trusted allies, who used that trust to get close enough to stab her. Also like her father, Daenerys' madness was her downfall: her burning of King's Landing (which even triggered the wildfire caches Aerys had hidden all those years ago) is what ultimately led to people turning away from her. Tywin Lannister led his army into King's Landing, while Tyrion Lannister smuggled his brother into King's Landing. Like her father, she was betrayed by her Hand - a Lannister, in both cases.

All the events of the series were set in motion by that act - from Robert Baratheon ascending to the Iron Throne, to Daenerys and Viserys' exile in Essos, and the Lannisters claiming a position of power in King's Landing. Game of Thrones may have begun seventeen years after Robert's Rebellion, but the show's story really begins with Jaime earning his title of 'Kingslayer' by stabbing Aerys II in the back, after the Mad King gave orders to burn down the city with wildfire.

Instead, almost all of the fan-favorite characters made it to the end - including Ser Davos, Bronn, Tyrion, Brienne and Sam, who now make up King Bran's Small Council. It's about as happy an ending as fans could have hoped for. Meanwhile, Jon Snow heads beyond the Wall once more with the Wildlings, and Arya Stark sails west in search of new horizons.

The show ends with the Iron Throne destroyed, the old system of choosing Kings and Queens eradicated, Bran Stark elected as the new King of Westeros, and Sansa Stark ruling the North as an independent kingdom. Game of Thrones - HBO's thrilling epic historical fantasy series - has finally come to an end after eight seasons, and the finale brings the story full circle in many ways.
