About This Quiz

Spoilers ahead! But honestly, if you haven't seen "Game of Thrones" season eight yet, or GoT at all, what are you doing with your life? It became a thing not to watch the show because it made people feel cool or different, but those people missed out on something really special. For all eight seasons, there were high highs and even lower lows. When it was announced that there would only be 13 episodes between the last two seasons, fans were shaken. How could they possibly wrap up the show in just 13 episodes? Well, they definitely did it, but not all fans were happy.

The most common comments on the final season were that it felt rushed and not thought out. The Starbucks cup left in one scene and a water bottle left in another didn't help. But you can't say that storylines weren't wrapped up and characters didn't meet their end. Whether or not it was the end they should have met is still up for debate. We want to hear all about your season eight "Game of Thrones" opinions. The good, the bad and the ugly. Do that for us, and we'll guess how you actually wanted the show to end!
