APROPOS the letter ‘Game of Thrones’ (April 30) by ‘A girl has no name’ from Lahore. (Spoilers ahead!) But the girl with no name (Arya Stark) proved her mettle and killed the Night King in the third episode of the final season.

The new season has tried to wrap up some loose ends for example who finally know who Jon Snow’s parents were, and so does he. If only Caitlyn Stark had treated him better.

Anyway as Jon is now the last surviving Targaryen which complicates his relationship with the dragon queen who wants to rule the seven kingdoms.

In the last episode, the Night King and his army were defeated and now the battle will be at King’s Landing.

It is expected that Cersei Lannister will meet her end at the hands of Arya — the red witch prophesised that she would close brown eyes, blue eyes and green ones too.

Cersei has tortured the Starks in her lust for the crown. She created circumstances where Ned Stark had to be executed or the Red Wedding and now she has sent her brother’s friend to kill him!

However, the real question is whether Jon Snow will sit on the throne after defeating Cersei or will he be killed. As it is Game of Thrones, you never know who will be next.

Personally, I am more impatient about Tyrion’s story. If he dies, I will take it personally.

Finally, while I understand the letter writer’s feelings, I think we should still go to work on Monday and download the show. It is something to look forward to at the end of the work day.

Also, the boy has a name and it is…
