SPOILER ALERT: Spoilers for the Game Of Thrones finale ahead…

Game of Thrones has officially ended. Sob. The final episode aired in the UK last night, and went in a direction almost no one was expecting. (Bran? Really?!). In fact, not everyone is happy with how season eight has played out, and there's even been a petition to get it re-made.

But those who've signed the petition aren't the only ones who wanted a different ending for the show. Emilia Clarke has also spoken out about what she'd like to see from a re-shoot, and tbh, we can't help but agree.

Speaking to The New Yorker, Emilia said: "Well, I can only speak to my own character, and the people that I interact with on the show. But I would’ve loved some more scenes with me and Missandei. I would’ve loved some more scenes with me and Cersei."

"Yeah," she went on to say. "I would’ve loved some more scenes between Grey Worm and Missandei. I would’ve loved to see a bit more between Cersei... I feel like there was... The genocide was there. That was always going to happen."

Finding the words to write this post has left me overwhelmed with how much I want to say but how small words feel in comparison to what this show and Dany have meant to me. The mother of dragons chapter has taken up the whole of my adult life. This woman has taken up the whole of my heart. I’ve sweated in the blaze of dragon fire, shed many tears at those who left our family early, and wrung my brain dry trying to do Khaleesi and the masterful words, actions (and names) I was given, justice. Game of Thrones has shaped me as a woman, as an actor and as a human being. I just wish my darling dad was here now to see how far we’ve flown. But to you, dear kind magical fans, I owe you so much thanks, for your steady gaze at what we’ve made and what I’ve done with a character that was already in the hearts of many before I slipped on the platinum wig of dreams. Without you there is no us. And now our watch has ended. @gameofthrones @hbo #love #motherofdragonsoverandout

"And I just think more dissection and those beautifully written scenes that the boys have between characters - that we are more than happy to contently sit there and watch ten minutes of two people talking, because it’s beautiful. I just wanted to see a bit more of that."

Interesting... Many fans were certainly disgruntled about the fact that Daenerys and Cersei never had a show down, and it seems like Emilia Clarke agrees. However, she did end by saying: "I’m in no position to critique the geniuses that have written eight seasons’ worth of wonderful stuff." That's probably fair!
