Game Of Thrones Series Finale Spoilers: Should We Continue Watching?

After last night's explosive and emotionally charged episode of Game of Thrones, 'The Bells,' a growing number of fans are left wondering whether they want to see the show through until its conclusion. The highly anticipated season 8 finale is just around the corner, but given how some pivotal plot twists have been handled so far, it's understandable if viewers aren't entirely sure what to expect.

For those who haven't yet caught up with all of Season 7 and half of Season 8 (seriously, get on that!), major spoilers follow below. Proceed at your own risk!

In 'The Bulls' we witnessed the long-awaited Battle of King's Landing unfold in a manner that left many fans reeling - literally! Daenerys Targaryen, once seen as the rightful ruler and savior of Westeros, suddenly turned into full-blown dragon-riding maniac mode. Her seemingly justified war against Cersei Lannister and her loyalist forces quickly took an unexpected turn for the worse.

As thousands upon thousand innocent civilians perished under Daenery's flames (yes, it was definitely her doing), many viewers couldn't help but ask themselves: what on earth did we just watch?! Was this really how HBO planned to wrap up one of television's most beloved and anticipated series? The more we think about it, the less sense it all makes...

So should you still tune in for next week's penultimate episode before saying goodbye forevermore come Sunday night at 9pm EST/6PM PST on HBO & sister channels across North America (check local listings)? Or would it be better to just skip ahead straight into post-series discussion threads online where fellow viewers can commiserate over these very same feelings?
