Game of Thrones: 5 Alternate Endings Better Than the One We Got

Are you still disappointed over the Game of Thrones finale? Do you feel its lackluster execution hurts the series's legacy? Have you spent the morning emailing friends about the petition to remake the season? If you've answered "yes" to any of these questions, we encourage you to take a deep breath.

So let's do our best to give you some solace by dreaming up five alternate endings that will remind you how awesome Game of Thrones can be.
