The Internet’s A Wreck As ‘GoT’ Stars & Fans Prepare For The Last Ever Ep

game of thrones farewell

It’s here, folks. The day we’ve been dreading since 2011, when we first got hooked on the incest-tits-and-dragons fantasy juggernaut that is ‘Game of Thrones‘. Today is the day our watch(ing) ends: we’re about to cop the last ever episode.

(Not counting the multiple spinoffs that have been greenlit, obviously, but that’s a whole ‘nother story.)

The show’s stars are turning out on social media in droves to share memories and tearful farewells to the job that kept them busy for a whole decade.

Check Emilia Clark‘s emotional parting words, via Instagram:

How small words feel in comparison to what this show and Dany have meant to me.

The mother of dragons chapter has taken up the whole of my adult life. This woman has taken up the whole of my heart. I’ve sweated in the blaze of dragon fire, shed many tears at those who left our family early, and wrung my brain dry trying to do Khaleesi and the masterful words, actions (and names) I was given, justice.

Game of Thrones has shaped me as a woman, as an actor and as a human being. I just wish my darling dad was here now to see how far we’ve flown.

But to you, dear kind magical fans, I owe you so much thanks, for your steady gaze at what we’ve made and what I’ve done with a character that was already in the hearts of many before I slipped on the platinum wig of dreams.

And Jacob Anderson, aka Grey Worm, bidding a fond goodbye to his smouldering Unsullied character:

You went from a robot to a real boy.” :'((((

Give a round of applause for Tormund, who finally got to cosy up with the big woman!

And look it’s Sam! Is he going to be in this episode or was that gruff goodbye at Winterfell really the unceremonious end for his whole arc?

A quick moment to recognise how wild it is that Sophie Turner started playing Sansa Stark when she was just THIRTEEN:

Uh, thanks, Euron:

And how are the smallfolk coping with the end of a show that’s captivated millions of viewers for the better part of ten years? Memes, mostly.

Until you can settle yourself with a box of tissues, a bowl of popcorn and a stressball or twenty to watch the last ep with, content yourself with knowing that pretty much every cast member had a big cry on their last day of shooting.

Whatever your feelings on this last season, the whole show has been an absolutely wild ride. Valar morghulis, mates.
