Game of Thrones season 8

Finally, we come to the final season of the show. And here we give thanks to Vladimír Furdík, who was basically the unofficial set photographer during the show-stopping Battle of Winterfell:

What do you think they’re playing? My guess is Mario Kart.

Obviously, this battle took a tun of rehearsal. Jacob Anderson (Grey Worm) threw himself into it:

The rehearsal for Theon’s death scene looks like it could be a short film by itself:

Let us always remember that whenever you see Daenerys on dragonback, it’s just Emilia Clarke riding a big green mechanical bull:

Then there was another crazy battle sequence at King’s Landing. Take a bow, crew:

And more battles means more rehearsal, including for the fight between the Hound and the Mountain (Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson):

But when it was all over? Peace.

There are lots more behind-the-scenes images out there. We hope you enjoyed this trip down memory lane!
