It's been almost seven years since Game of Thrones ended with possibly the most controversial TV finale ever, but fans are still finding new aspects of the show to praise.

Despite the HBO show being notorious for outpacing its source material – which many think contributed to its downfall – this time fans are celebrating the original additions to the series that weren't taken from George R.R. Martin's novels.

"I really hope it's written as well in the forthcoming book as it was in the show. But the way Sansa, Arya, and Bran nail Littlefinger in the end… chefs kiss, no notes. There was so much weight and complexity to his charades and his betrayal of their family and it was a delicious plot twist. One of the scenes I remember exactly where I was sitting when I watched it play out," thinks another person.
