Believe it or not, Game of Thrones wrapped on HBO more than six years ago, with many longtime characters dead by the time the final credits rolled. Season 8 was certainly divisive among fans, but the consensus seems to be that the finale was just not a strong conclusion. I personally haven't rewatched many episodes since the 2019 finale, but the mood recently struck me to revisit one very specific scene with Jaime and Brienne, and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau's performance has me bitter all over again about how Jaime's story ended.
