Game of Thrones ended Sunday with the sixth episode of Season 8. While it answered big questions, including who will sit on the Iron Throne , it left many character arcs and plot points unfinished. Here are a few of the questions we’re still left with after the Game of Thrones ending.
The State of DorneWhen Daenerys’ ancestor Aerys Targaryen first conquered Westeros, only Dorne successfully stood against the conqueror. While Dorne was always unlikely to back Queen Cersei, it also wasn't guaranteed to support Daenerys’ ambitions. But Dorne was largely an afterthought throughout Game of Thrones Season 8, relegated to a throwaway line in Episode 4, when the unnamed “new Prince of Dorne” pledges his allegiance to Daenerys from afar.
The Faceless Men tried to kill Arya once, but they didn’t seem like the giving up type, so it’s surprising they never tried again. Arya makes it out of Game of Thrones unscathed. Perhaps the god of death doesn’t want her dead. Or perhaps Jaqen H’ghar is only biding his time. Winter Is Here?Sure, it’s been snowing a little bit—off and on since the final episode of Season 7—but what does the death of the Night King mean for the coming winter? In Westeros, winters can last years, even entire generations. This one was predicted to be especially nasty, as it was the last time the Others swept down from the North during “The Long Night.
Some of these make no sense? Arya informed Jaquen Hagar that she was going home and he let her go. He always said she could leave. He respected her after she killed the waif.
