This programme leaves the way open to a number of sequels which will distinctly not be about the iron throne which was consumed by dragon fire. Samwell Tarly's suggestion of a republic was rejected with contempt. This is as it should be. The aristos only surrender power when they face losing their heads.
Arya sets off on a voyage of discovery and Arya's journey looks likely to be the most interesting strand to the story.
Tyrion comes across as a great survivor and any series which does not include his sardonic view of life and repeated demands for wine would be a shame.
Jon Snow goes north of the wall to the place where the whole story began. The King of the Dead has met his fate but John Snow's story seems unfinished.
The history of the kingdom of the North can hardly be coming to a conclusion with the accession of Sansa to the throne.
And, as Tolkien observed, it is a mistake to leave a live dragon out of your calculations.
