Re: Game of Thrones....
Not sure what happened there, must have been an issue with your download. In the broadcast there was no music until the cut to black, then the song (a punk version of the tune sung earlier by the soldiers) over the credits. Apparently this has caused a dust-up with some members of the fan base who ...
