  2. I had my problems with the season overall but I get what the ending tried to do, and I enjoyed it some. Even if it felt too lonely and empty. I liked that in the end it was “A Time For Wolves” and the Stark kids are alright. They won, they reign, they survived. Sansa as Queen in the North was the logical and satisfying end to her story arc. From being used and abused, Sansa wanted power for security, so that herself, her family, and her people will never be vulnerable pawns in the game again. She absorbed the cunning and scheming of her tormentors, but remains a Tully-Stark with no self interest and ambition other than security and to lead pragmatically. Arya ever the free spirit. Instead of finding empowerment in violence, finds it in exploration and discovery. She looks towards new horizons as she leaves behind her blood soaked childhood. She goes knowing her family will be okay. Bran is the receiver of memories (like in the Giver). He knows all, is a magical computer. No one corrupt and ambitious can hurt the realm with him as king. Truly the 6 kingdoms have a sage-King in practicality to lead them in a new age. The thing about Bran’s ascension is it calls back to Dwarves, Bastards, and Broken things. Tyrion has a soft spot for such creatures. Bran the Broken is the promise that things may be a little different now as the downtrodden, the least likely, the outcasts inherit the world or authority to make a better future by whatever margin. The Starks, including Jon, Tyrion, Brienne, Ser Davos, and even Bronn I suppose are all Dwarves, Bastards, and Broken things that through great obstacles persevered and come out victorious. Jon is a true selfless hero. His two lives were nothing but sacrificing and he proves to be the best out of all of them. Now he lives in exile where he can find some peace in freedom. Unfortunately his heritage wasn’t of much consequence, and it should have at least allowed him some agency. Jon wouldn’t be King, but he could have briefly used that inheritance to abolish the office officially and exile himself in penance. The messianic character, was just a guy, who did heroic things, has no real reward, and can find solace in freedom and relative peace for the rest of his days. The true North is in him, and he has proven to be more Stark than any other could claim. The White Wolf is legend
