Now, for the ending of it, the big question of who would end up on the throne: Bran, the Broken, who was voted into power by the Reigns’ Lords. Although it’s rather debatable whether or not Bran was the best, or fairest, of choices, the fact that the story ended in some “democratic” political uprising is certainly reasonable. It is known that Game of Thrones, the TV show, is based on the novel by George R. R. Martin who based its storyline much on the events of the Wars of the Roses. The wars were a series of battles between the Lancasters and Yorks, two noble families in British rule, both of whom believed they deserved the crown. Historically, after major war and revolutions, in a lot of cases what came as a result was a new form of government, just take the French Revolution as example: they took down the monarchy and a parliamentary institution was built.
Throughout the entire show, one thing was made clear: a hereditarianism-based government wasn’t working. All those battles, all those lives lost, all that bloodshed was just in response to a hunger to win, it had nothing to do with noble ideas like “breaking the wheel” of injustice. Deep down, the lords and ladies who found themselves claiming the Iron Throne were doing it just for the satisfaction of having the fame, Glory and most of all, Power over the rest. So for that, we must defend the ending solution of Game Of Thrones.
Having said all this, we give the season a (not so sure) five out of ten.
