We want that to continue.
Keep that in mind.

This is a place where everybody is accepted and is at home.
5:36 p.m.:Its a clip!
The crows are flying.
Theres a voiceover of Bran talking about remembering everything and seeing everything in the past.
5:38 p.m.:The room is dead silent.
its not new footage, but its captivating nonetheless.
5:41 p.m.:Clip still going.
Jon Snow is riding horseback into the wintry forest.
It ends with a huge roar from the crowd.
5:42 p.m.:EWs James Hibberd begins by sayingGame of Thronesis the most Emmy-nominated show of all-time.
5:44 p.m.:Coster-Waldau jokes, Someone left some coffee cups behind.
5:45 p.m.:First up: question to Hempstead Wright.
Whats it been like for you since the finale came out?
I forced my friends and family to only refer to me as your grace,' he jokes.
Westeros is now a surveillance state with Bran aware of everything that everyone is doing.
5:46 p.m.Hibberd asks Williams to explain what Arya is doing now.
Williams likens her to Dora the Explorer.
I think hes keeping his promise to Missandei and sitting on a beach drinking pina coladas.
Could he find love again, asks Hibberd?
No, not in the same way.
I think that was a one time deal.
5:49 p.m.:Bradley reflects on his final scene of the series.
We set up a slightly more comic space.
I felt personally that you want to stay with them.
It basically turns intoThe Office.
Adds Cunningham, I think the spin-off should be calledBetter Call Davos.
5:50 p.m.:Coster-Waldau is asked about his final scene.
I thought it was perfect, that end, in the arms of Cersei.
It made sense to me.
A few groans can be heard from the crowd.
Theres always one, moans Cunningham.
Coster-Waldau continues, When Brienne fills in the blanks in the book, it was really beautiful.
It showed her understanding of Jaime.
5:54 p.m.:Hill has a thing to say about the audience reaction to the final season.
It was picked over like a whale on the beach.
I loved all my 10 years onGame of Thrones…It was a life-changing experience.
We were never divisive as a cast.
We never fought amongst each other.
This is the reality rather than a media-led hate campaign.
5:55 p.m.:Coster-Waldau weighs in: The absurdity of the online petition.
Like HBO was going to change the whole thing.
Thats the power of HBO!
Every season we had controversies: Ned Starks death.
If you loved it, thats great just dont call people names.
We were all on this journey together.
We were not just delivering something we thought was nice.
Nobody knew how big it was going to get.
6:01 p.m.:Anderson says Grey Worm did want to see Jon Snow go to trial.
He wasnt willing to kill everybody.
I dont think he wanted to kill Jon Snow, he just didnt want him to be alive.
Does that mean that Varys was looking to kill Dany himself?
I think Varys knew long ago he was going to die, so there was inevitability, Hill said.
He knew he couldnt get through to Jon or Tyrion because they were in love with Dany.
He knew he had to stop her.
6:05 p.m.:Hempstead Wright on the finale.
He was happy with it.
It doesnt conclude everything neatly, you dont have set endings; its left totally open.
Its almost as if the world ofGame of Thronesexists still somewhere in the ether, which is quite nice.
6:07 p.m.:Does Gendry ever have a chance with Arya?
I think Arya has been a lone wolf, a misfit in her own family, says Williams.
I dont think being with a partner would make her the most fulfilled.
They probably see each other at like a friends wedding and be like, Oh hey!'
And did Arya kill the Night King on her own or did Jon Snow tell her what to do?
She did it on her own.
The crowd liked that answer.
If I give credit to anyone, it was Melisandre.
6:09 p.m.:Hibberd asks everyone about their favorite line from the shows long run.
Coster-Waldau says it was when we found out that Hodor was Hodor.
For Cunningham, it was the Davos line, Nothing fucks you harder than time.
Its magnificent and so true.
Williams likes Aryas line, Not today.
Bradley says it was Sams line, Id always like to be a wizard.
He had to create this alternative reality for himself.
He wanted to be a wizard.
Something other than himself.
Hill says it was the Tyrion line, I drink and I know things.
Hempstead Wright says it was the Littlefinger line, Chaos is a ladder.
Hempstead Wright said he ran through on his last day and grabbed whatever he could.
After spending 10 years onGame of Thrones, Im left with a wooden spoon.
Hill quipped, I stole most of the scenes I was in.
Bradley says he didnt take anything.
I have a pathological fear of getting into trouble.
She then laughs uncontrollably.
Theres something wrong with you, Cunningham deadpans.
No balls, says Anderson.
Added Cunningham, Thats actually how Jacob was described, not his character.
6:20 p.m.:Lets talk about the water bottle that ended up in the finale next to Bradleys leg!
Ive always been someone whos felt a lot of responsibility and blame for things.
I thought about this very strongly.
I think Ive taken enough blame for this.
6:24 p.m.:What will you miss most about the show?
Coster-Waldau: The truth is, its the people.
I miss working with these guys and coming back every year to Belfast.
Says Cunningham, We had these beautiful words that we were handed by George and David and Dan.
Working with these crews.
There was a magical sense of it.
Its very, very rare that something comes along that feels almost fault-less.
Ill miss the elegance of it and working with people at the top of their game.
Now for Anderson: Family that we made making this show.
Hanging out in the makeup truck.
I miss that so much.
Doing all the combat fighting, during something of this time period, Ill really miss that.
Bradley: In terms of playing Sam, I will mainly miss charting that progress he made.
He was told he was only going to be a passenger, dead weight.
Over the course of 8 seasons, you see this process of self-discovery.
He ends up in a place where his opinion is valued.
I couldnt be more proud that it was made in a place where I was from.
Most of all, I want to thank you for watching and keeping us on TV.
It was meditative and it forced you to reflect.
Its been such a special unique experience that has brought so many people.
Thats something we will all miss so much.
6:32 p.m.:And thats a wrap as Hibberd apologizes that there isnt time for fan questions.
The crowd proceeds to give a standing ovation.
Your watch of this story has now ended.
