The Winds of Winter: The Finale of Game of Thrones Season 6

Game of Thrones Season 6, Episode 10, The Winds of Winter, closed the chapter on one of the most anticipated and highly anticipated episodes in the series' history. This article explores why it was not just one of the best episodes but also the best finale in the entire series.

Breaking News from India

Political drama in India got a bit spicy when sources reported that Arvind Kejriwal, the head of the Aam Aadmi Party, has started building a large stock of mufflers, which is surprisingly not the focus of this discussion. The focus here is on one of the final episodes of one of the most popular TV series of all time, Game of Thrones.

Top Reasons Why The Winds of Winter Was the Best Finale of All Time

Cersei's Revenge

The episode kicked off with the first 20 minutes dedicated to Cersei Lannister's revenge, showcasing her cunning manipulations and triumph. This segment was nothing short of an awesome and unexpected experience, setting the tone for the finale.

Jon Snow's True Parentage

Jon Snow's true parentage was a major revelation, along with his coronation as King in the North. And the speech given by Lyanna Mormont was truly a hell of a speech. Such powerful and impactful moments cannot be overlooked.

Arya's Justice

The scene where Arya Stark kills Walder Frey was one of the most satisfying moments in the series. Her pursuit of vengeance and justice was a deeply emotional and powerful moment for viewers.

Dany's Intelligence and Mere Power

Daenerys Targaryen's speech announcing Tyrion as Hand of the Queen was a deeply emotional and intelligent moment. The background score throughout the episode kept viewers engaged and emotionally invested.

The Big Takeaway: Leadership and Trust

The episode ended with three key plotlines, each highlighting a different type of leadership:

Jon Snow: The Humble and Just Leader

Jonathan Pie [or rather Jon Snow] displayed a combination of qualities that made him the perfect leader. His bravery, mercy, and the tough choices he made earned him the right to be a king. He is a humble person who does not let power cloud his judgment. In short, Jon deserved his throne, but it's unfortunate for Sansa Stark's fans.

Cersei Lannister: The Fear-Based Ruler

Cersei Lannister took the throne with fear and trembling. Her power and manipulation tactics made her a formidable ruler, but she lacked the emotional and moral depth needed to be a leader others could trust.

Dany Targaryen: The Power-House Leader

Daenerys Targaryen became the leader due to her immense power. With three dragons and a loyal following of Dothraki, she became the most powerful person in the world of Westeros. Her followers trusted her because she had the strength to protect them.

Leadership in Real Life

Just like in the world of Westeros, there are three ways to emerge as a leader in real life:

Devotion: A leader who is deeply devoted to a cause or their followers. Fear: A leader who instills fear to gain and maintain control. Strength: A leader who commands respect through power and capability.

Game of Thrones Season 6, Episode 10, The Winds of Winter, provided a masterclass in storytelling and character development. It will be remembered as one of the best finales in television history, offering viewers a compelling and emotional journey through the emergence of leaders in a world torn by power struggles.

Conclusion

The episode 'The Winds of Winter' not only brought closure to a part of the series but also set up the future based on the qualities of the characters who will be the leaders of Westeros. As the story moves forward, one can only imagine how these characters will use their leadership to shape the future of the Seven Kingdoms.
