GAME of Thrones fans’ disappointment shows no sign of abating, so here are five terrible endings that are still better than what actually happened.
Tyrion starts a successful wine blog
If Tyrion getting to right his wrongs annoyed you, this ending is only slightly less grating as he gets the love and family he craves from simpering wine buffs who adore his recommendations for reasonably priced New World wines.
Arya Stark decides to retake her GCSEs
Instead of vaguely wandering off, Arya’s education story comes irritatingly full circle. In an ‘uplifting’ final scene we see her getting the grades she needs to pursue her dream of becoming a vet.
Samwell Tarley gets a kitchen extension approved
The Tarley family storyline gets the payoff it deserves as Samwell and Gilly live the perfect middle-class Westeros lifestyle and little Sam gets into an Ofsted-rated ‘excellent’ local school.
Jon Snow and Daenerys go into couples’ counselling
Jon and Dany get the shite but complex ending we all really wanted as Dany survives but is served a fate worse than a dagger in the ribs – 30 sessions of couples’ counselling.
Bran campaigns for disabled access in Westeros
Years of having to travel on an oaf’s back only to get a job he didn’t want? In this equally frustrating feel-good ending Bran is lauded for his tireless work installing ramps in King’s Landing, which used to be a nightmare for wheelchair users.
