Sword boy: Cleganebowl

A lot of people hated the final season because it did what Game of Thrones always did, subvert and piss on your expectations. It never quite gave you want you wanted, (which some of us actually love about it).

So while Cleganebowl, a fight that has been coming since the start of the whole damn series, is pretty fucking metal, taking place above the burning city at the end of the world as dragons fly overhead, it's also just gross and grubby and messy and nasty.

It had been building for so long - the Clegane brothers' first faceoff on the tournament field in the opening season was amazing, particularly the way it ends with the Hound dropping to his knees - but the final confrontation sent one last message: that as thrilling as it all was, the path of vengeance was also pointless and horrible.

The Hound's last 'just fucking die!' is the cry of a man who just wants it all to end. And if he has to plummet to his doom with his zombie brother, then that's what he has to do.
