The cast aren’t happy with their character endings masterpost
“I took it very personally. I took it as a person, not as an actor or an artist. You can’t help feeling that you failed in some way, that you haven’t lived up to some expectation that you didn’t know about. The only thing that consoles you is people who worked a lot harder than you are in the same boat. So that helps. I don’t think anybody who hasn’t been through it can identify with it… But you take it personally, you can’t help it. At the time, nothing could console me. I kept thinking: ‘What did I do wrong?’ There wasn’t any pre-warning.” (source)
“It was kind of frustrating. As a whole it’s been overwhelmingly positive and brilliant but I suppose the last couple seasons weren’t my favorite.” (source)
“Character development? Nah. Story!” (source)
Regarding her final scene: “I was alone – shocker! Arya’s always bloody alone.” (source)
Tweeted directly after the finale aired: “just here for the memes” (source)
“It fucked me up. Knowing that is going to be a lasting flavor in someone’s mouth of what Daenerys is…” (source)
“What, what, what, WHAT!?” the actress recalls thinking. “Because it comes out of f—king nowhere. I’m flabbergasted. Absolutely never saw that coming.” […] “I cried,” Clarke says. “And I went for a walk. I walked out of the house and took my keys and phone and walked back with blisters on my feet. I didn’t come back for five hours. I’m like, ‘How am I going to do this?’” (source)
Headey says her reaction that final scene was “mixed” at first. “I wanted her to have some big piece or fight with somebody,” she says. (source)
“I think that I am more of a romantic than Dan and David. I kind of wanted him to just break out, just leave Cersei! She’s bad for you, it’s not healthy, and clearly you are in a relationship where you are more in love with her than she loves you. And what about this Brienne of Tarth? She’s like, what a great… I’m no different than anyone else, but a hopeless romantic.” (source)
“The one thing I would say is I really had wished that I had more time or scenes this season maybe with Daenerys or even with Cersei, scenes where we get to see her being brilliant before she dies, I think that might have eased the pain a bit more for people, and reinforcing a friendship that she and Dany had because we haven’t really seen anything for a few seasons but I think she’s so fiercely loyal Dany and I think she was until the bitter end, and it’s almost fitting for Missandei really, in a way.” (source)
“When I got to the [Dragonpit scene] in the last episode, and they’re like, ‘What about Bran?’ I had to get up and pace around the room. I genuinely thought it was a joke script and that [showrunners] David and Dan sent to everyone a script where their own character ends up on the Iron Throne. I was like, ‘Yeah, good one guys. Oh shit! It’s actually real?!‘” (source)
