Got finale time1/2/2024 ![]() Now, I feel like that physics, the laws of that physics have changed, and that the show has now become more traditional near the end where it’s getting kind of to a very special episode, and I think that’s why people don’t feel as true to the characters. That’s why the death of Ned Stark (Sean Bean) in Season 1 was so jolting to everybody.
