(Spoilers ahead) The much anticipated season of Game of Thrones is here. GOT is popular all over the world as a show with all its elements, particularly its audacious storytelling. It stays true to this aspect even in the final season. One of its key features of the storytelling is the ability to surprise audience both with the twists to the key characters’ journeys and their sudden exposition.

If it were to left to someone else they might have kept Jon Snow ( now Aegon Targaryen) in dark about his legacy. But this is no  ordinary show. So the first episode ends with a definite chance for the character arcs to go haywire based on this new twist. What’s also very remarkable about the show is how consistently all characters seem to chase the throne once they attain a certain power. Eventually,  will Samwell Tarly will go after the throne too?
