The Iron Throne

Book of the Stranger

The series finale is upon us. We kinda forgot to come up with new jokes, but we reflect upon this conclusion and consider how it causes us to think about this season and the show as a whole. Alec is sure he’ll come to a more firm opinion in the fullness of time. Meanwhile, Chris has some creative arguments for how he could get a few extra points. Finally, John is overjoyed to see someone we thought had left us forever. And now our watch is ended.

Season 8 final standings:

• John: 38 points
• Chris: 34 points
• Alec: 26 points
