Game of Thrones sluttede med et brag, men samtidig var der mange der i det hele taget fandt den sidste sæson ret så utilstrækkelig, og at mange karakterers skæbner var en smule bizarre. Skuespilleren bag en af disse karakterer, Lena Headey, fortæller nu at hvis hun havde fået lov til at bestemme, så havde det set anderledes ud for karakteren Cersei.
I et interview med Hollywood Reporter fortæller hun følgende:
"You start trying to write the story yourself, and Maisie Williams and I would fantasize about a Cersei and Arya showdown; that she would come back as Jaime. That was our dream. But they made different choices."
Dog siger hun også, at hun har respekt for forfatterne bag, og det massive pres der lå på dem:
"I think in hindsight, everybody understands that. You're in it, and you've been so invested, there's a moment of, 'Why?' But I absolutely get it. No. I miss the people - because you fall in love with people, and you create these family units. So that takes a little while to go though. There's a weird grief from those relationships. But I don't miss it. We did it. We put everything into it. It changed everyone's fucking world, and we'll always have it."
