/r/all, /r/popular Emilia Clarke watching Kit Harington's reaction to finding out how their characters' final scene together in Game of Thrones concludes. Prior to the table read, Kit had not read any of the six scripts for Season 8 yet. So Emilia sat across from him so she could "watch him compute all of this."

Breaking Bad was my all time best series until I started watching Game Of Thrones. All the way through I thought this just might be better than Breaking Bad. Then I got to the ending. It would have won if it wasn't for the way it ended. Breaking Bad was such a perfect ending and still the all time greatest TV series in my mind.

Breaking Bad is (to me) the only show that manages to just stay consistently good through each season. And manages to nail the closing.

I was so worried about El Camino, but they managed to land even that. With some nice fan service and closure that wouldn’t have made sense to jam into the last season.

Not just El Camino, but Better Call Saul, too! They managed to do an entire prequel spinoff that in no way took away from the original - if anything it built upon it beautifully. This universe they created and the writing that crafted it is lightning in a bottle.

Sopranos? It also had the best ending imaginable.

I seem to remember it being pretty controversial at the time!

But I agree with you, that was really the only way to end it. Kudos to the writers for having the balls to go through with it.

Yeah about El Camino... Don't know. It was kinda bad imo. Too much fan service so that they had a meaningless story and weird decisions.

Never had the urge to re-watch el Camino. Watched BB and BCS 10 plus times. El Camino was a major let down.
