We may not like it, but Dany's inner dragon rage was still there for Game of Thrones.
Warning spoiler alert
A new survey predicts millions of absences at work on Monday as Game of thrones fans shoot a sickie to watch the final of the series.
Over the past eight years, the television series has been driving fans to cry, applaud, question their allegiances and fall in love with dragons.
But all of this ends on a glorious and exasperating end, and guess what, no one will end up on the iron throne (you'd know why if you watched the episode last week).

It is not surprising then that Kiwis, as well as millions of viewers around the world, will have trouble choosing between work and the last episode.
Although the final is broadcast Sunday in the United States, it will affect the productivity of New Zealand from 13 hours Monday.
Scott Kennedy, a professor in Queenstown, said that he was going to have a hard time choosing between his obligations and his passion for GOT.
He felt it would be enough for him to cut himself off from social media to make sure he was reading no spoilers.
"It would be a bad look to leave the kids while I'm going to watch Game of thrones,Kennedy said.
The US survey The Workforce Institute estimated that the final of the series would have a potential impact on the work obligations of 27.2 million US employees.
Guy Williams is a hardcore fan of Game of Thrones.
But comedian Guy Williams, who describes himself as a failure Game of thrones fan, said missing work to watch the final would be crazy.
He had enjoyed the show at first, but the last season was not "excellent", and the writers were idiots, he said.
"No one is more at work than I. I will miss work for whatever reason: marriages where I do not want to go, birthdays that I do not want to celebrate.
"But miss it for Game of thrones? It's like running out of work to watch a dog get run over by a car. "
Mayor of Invercargill, Sir Tim Shadbolt, said that he did not know much about the popular program or the throne. Even though he was a newly appointed knight, he had no throne on which to sit.
"The only thing I can think about is pretty close [to justifying time off work] is the final of Dance with the stars. "
Shadbolt participated in the first series of the series, in 2005, which was eventually won by former rugby players Norm Hewitt and Carol-Ann Hickmore.

Deputy National Leader Paula Bennett stated that she was not a fan of Game of thrones and would not agree to look at the finale as an excuse for being away from work.
"But everyone in turn," she said.
Chris Hadfield of Wanaka said that he is a member of about eight people who meet to watch the show every Monday night.
He added that they would not break with tradition by watching the 13 o'clock screening.
"It's about anticipating and creating a social event around that," he said.
For his part, Auckland artist Laken Whitecliffe, "a big fan of Game of Thrones" who arranges screenings with friends, said he was preparing for the finale by building a projection screen of six meters in his studio.
"For this episode, I thought, why not build a screen, use a projector and make it bigger?"
He was very excited and a bit nervous for the final after following the characters in the series for the last eight years.
"When we first came to the show, we watched the first season in a weekend and then read all the books.
"We have no idea what's going to happen now, so it's intense."
