Summary

Game of Thrones' series finale, "The Iron Throne," felt like two episodes wrapped in one. Maybe even two TV shows wrapped in one. There was the somber, sobering examination of absolute power corrupting absolutely, and there was the saccharine sweet series of farewells to our favorite characters that prevent a civil war.

But in the end, we got some answers a decade in the making. Who would sit on the throne? Would there be a throne? What would Arya do when the killing was over? Could anyone defeat a queen with Unsullied, Dothraki, and a dragon at her disposal? Where the hell is Yara? And did Robin Arryn die?

Have a quick listen to the Instacast, recorded immediately after the series finale punched in the gut while trying to tickle our funny bones. You're a weird one, Episode 6.

0:21.0	Companion piece, the Juggernaut HBO series Game of Thrones.
0:24.4	I'm one of your host Gene Lyons and alongside his my co-host Big D.
0:28.7	Keepert. Good evening. And this is our Instacast edition where we share our quick takes on this week's episode of Game of Thrones.
0:36.0	This week we had season 8 episode 6, the series finale, allegedly titled Queen Slayer.
0:43.0	Big D, what'd you think?
0:45.0	I think I'm at peace.
0:48.0	I did not love the episode, but I found myself as it was going on coming to understand where it was going and
0:56.2	enjoying it I think the first half was excellent really strong and I think it went on
1:02.4	about 10 minutes too long, but overall, we could
1:06.2	nitpick it to death, but I felt in the end, it was a good way to end, and I'm perfectly
1:11.9	okay with it.
1:13.0	It almost felt like you had two different writing teams working on it.
1:16.0	The first half felt like a very somber closure,
1:19.0	and I thought to myself, if this entire episode has this sort of a funeral feeling and they end it this way
1:26.2	I'm okay with that it's it's putting this story to bed as a sort of a eulogy to everything that's
