The night is dark and full of spoilers, everybody. If you haven’t watched the sixth and final episode of Game of Thrones season eight yet, now is your chance to save yourself from learning more than you wish to know. Otherwise: read on. We’re in the endgame now.

This is it. The last episode of Game of Thrones that you’ll ever see.

A decade spent with these characters traversing the Seven Kingdoms, following them through love and loss, watching them grow and change over time, has passed. And now the sixth episode has come and gone and, with it, the conclusion of this grand, epic narrative.

How do you feel? Sad? Satisfied? Relieved? Disappointed? In some ways, the fact that you’re feeling something is what matters the most. It’s no mean feat to wrap up a decade-long television series with a passionate fandom numbering in the hundreds of millions.

The fact that we’re all having such fierce reactions, even if they are negative ones, is a sign of how much this show makes us feel.
