One of the most spectacular stories told on television has finally come to an end. After eight seasons, 73 episodes and a much-debated flurry of plot developments, “Game of Thrones” has come to an end. The saga came to a fantastic and fitting close, though it undoubtedly it was not exactly the ending all fans dreamed of. This reaction is not knew especially where fantastic plot is involved. It was neither the mother of dragons nor Jon Snow, the most popular candidates you would expect to mount the throne. Guess who showed up.

In this analysis by Todd VanDerWerff of Vox you will find the intriguing end to the Game of Thrones, popping up the least expected character as winner of the fierce battle for the coveted throne.

Who Won the Game of Thrones Finally?

The game of thrones is over, just as Game of Thrones is over, and even though Drogon melted down the Iron Throne for scrap, the Seven Six Kingdoms continue apace with a new king — Bran Stark, a.k.a. the Three-Eyed Raven.

It’s safe to say this outcome is not what most people were expecting. Throughout Game of Thrones’ run, the top three predictions for how the show would end usually put power in the hands of Daenerys, Jon Snow, or nobody. (In the “nobody” scenario, the Iron Throne was destroyed, and the Seven Kingdoms became a rudimentary democracy or something similar.) But even the more outsider choices tended to favor experts at realpolitik, like Tyrion Lannister and Sansa Stark.
