Does This Mean Summer Is Coming? After stumbles, and slip-ups and a long Westeros winter of fan discontent, the sprawling saga of Game of Thrones is officially over – although all the pitched debate about the merits of the HBO show’s final season may rage on for weeks. What’s the legacy beyond that? To my mind, it’s a colossal legacy but, really, the show’s “death” on Sunday night will be just like Jon Snow’s evisceration in Season 5 – more like a temporary lull than a permanent exit, especially considering the ongoing publishing venture as well as the brand’s ramping spinoffs.

The View panelist Meghan McCain has tweeted urging West Coast fans not to watch today’s broadcast after she spoiled Game of Thrones outcome during the show’s Hot Topics segment.
McCain blamed producers, who she said failed to explain to her she needed to not give away the ending the morning after the airing.
The on-air conversation began innocently enough, when show Den Mom Whoopi Goldberg mentioned some GoT viewers were seeking counseling to deal with their grief. Goldberg, who admitted she had bailed on the show after the Red Wedding, told viewers, “Apparently we’re at the end of a giant moment in pop culture.”
“This morning there are actually counselors you can reach out to if you’re having a hard time” with the end of the long-running HBO series, Goldberg marveled.
The View panelists asked if anyone in the audience was having trouble coping, and seemed surprised to learn some were.

At some point as autumn ends and snowfall appears imminent, you’ve probably heard someone say, “Winter is coming,” perhaps with a joking nudge in the ribs. Or maybe you’ve put on your thickest English accent and imitated the line, “You know nothing, Jon Snow.” Tons of iconic quotes from “Game of Thrones” have made their way into our everyday vernacular, including a few in a completely made-up language. Before the HBO series wraps for good, let’s revisit some of the most memorable phrases from the series’ eight seasons.
“Winter is coming”
The motto of House Stark is more than just a reminder to bundle up for the cold. The lords of the North are always prepared for the harshest season and the arrival of White Walkers, but the phrase is also a warning to others to think twice about provoking the family, because “the North remembers.” Arya...
