Warning: full SPOILERS for the series finale of Game of Thrones, “The Iron Throne”!
The last episode of Game of Thrones has finally come and gone (check out our review of “The Iron Throne”), but that doesn’t mean the conversation surrounding the show will ever end, especially when it comes to some key aspects that left us scratching our heads. These are the biggest WTF questions we have that don’t necessarily have easy answers.
Why Did No One Object to Sansa’s Secession From the Seven Kingdoms?
After the heads of the Great Houses of Westeros decided Bran would be the new King, Sansa Stark announced that the North would become an independent kingdom. This bold and politically charged move is met with zero resistance from those present, begging numerous questions. Why would the North want to secede when a Stark is King of Westeros? Why didn’t anyone try to stop the North from breaking away? Why didn’t any other House try to create their own kingdom, too? We know the Northmen swore to never bend the knee again, but surely someone should have objected or at least questioned Sansa’s reasoning.
