It’s hard to come to terms with death, even if said death is the end of a television program that loomed large in your imagination. Perhaps there is no way to do it without some denial, anger, bargaining, depression and (hopefully) acceptance.
Here, we look back at the notable deaths of the final season, ranked from gut-wrenching to gratifying, and hear from some of the actors who portrayed them.
Gendry, the bastard boy whose existence helped prove that Queen Cersei’s children were not fathered by King Robert and set into motion the War of the Five Kings, is a bastard no longer.
Now that the supernatural Battle of Winterfell is over and the very human war is about to resume in “Game of Thrones,” how will the two sides stack up against each other?
With the death of the Night King and Melisandre in the Battle of Winterfell, one of the last remaining supernatural forces in Westeros is Bran Stark, aka the Three-Eyed Raven (Isaac Hempstead Wright).
The Night King was a terrifying figure. He could raise the dead. He had strange, devilish horns on his head. But a lot of the fear he inspired came simply from what we didn’t know about him.
