That&#8217;s the show I wanted to see! Actually, considering that reboots are so popular, can we have Jessica reboot all of <em>GoT<\/em> season 8?  Because the Jaime-Cersei-Brienne triangle deserved a better ending, as did the sibling rivalry between the Hound and the Mountain. And I&#8217;d pay good money to have Bran killed off as soon as possible in the season. As a bonus, maybe this alternative <em>GoT<\/em> season would win Emilia Clarke a well-deserved Emmy, seeing as she was nominated four times in real life and never won.<\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Since the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Emmys?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Emmys<\/a> are around the corner, friendly reminder that Emilia Clarke delivered this powerful performance in 2 fictional languages alone in a green room. \ud83d\udc51<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/iA5cCoSmWv\">pic.twitter.com\/iA5cCoSmWv<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; \u211d\u03af\u03c4\u03b1 \ud83d\udc8b|| EMMYLIA (@JonxDanyy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JonxDanyy\/status\/1175110198723272704?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 20, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script> <\/center><\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, if you&#8217;re looking for finale satisfaction guaranteed, I highly recommend <em>Harlots<\/em>, which is set in 18th-century London&#8217;s brothels. <\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/l1J3vmiRW2ZBrJgIM\" width=\"480\" height=\"271\" frameBorder=\"0\" class=\"giphy-embed\" allowFullScreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/hulu-london-harlots-l1J3vmiRW2ZBrJgIM\">via GIPHY<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/center><\/p>\n<p>All three seasons are on Hulu, and while a fourth season hasn&#8217;t been ruled out, the end of Season 3 is perfectly satisfying as either a season or series finale.
