A video has emerged on Twitter. From whence it comes, I do not know, but it has behind-the-scenes footage of Emilia Clarke, Maisie Williams and Kit Harington â all of them in costume as Daenerys Targaryen, Arya Stark and Jon Snow respectively â saying goodbye to the cast and crew of Game of Thrones after shooting their final scenes. Watch that, and have your heart broken:
Cue the water works and the bullet points:
- Emilia Clarke: âYou guys have all been there and made me feelâŠreally lucky, just really, really, really lucky. Iâm just so grateful.â
- Maisie Williams: âIâve really struggled sometimes with how itâs completely changed my life, and every year coming back here and being with all of you guys has really made it all worthwhile.â
- Kit Harington: âMy heart is breaking. I love this show.â And he canât seem to get out anymore.
This is emotional stuff, particularly for the younger cast members who grew up with the show. I canât imagine how surreal it was for them to pack all that away.
All that said, does anyone know where this clip comes from? Itâs not The Last Watch, the documentary about the making of season 8 HBO aired a week after the series finale, and so far as I can tell itâs not from any of the âInside the Episodeâ or âThe Game Revealedâ segments from the first five episodes of the season.
Weirdly, just earlier today, we were wondering about what happened to the âInside the Episodeâ and âThe Game Revealedâ segments for the series finale, âThe Iron Throne.â Apparently they exist but were not shown as usual. Could this be a clip from that? Something for the Blu-ray home boxset? Something else? Iâm genuinely wondering. What am I missing?
And while you puzzle over that, hereâs the first poster for Last Christmas, a romantic comedy starring Emilia Clarke based on that one Wham! song:
Canât wait to go behind the scenes of that one.
