He’s ready to deal with the consequences of his resignation. He tells Daenerys this, ripping the pin marking him as the Hand of the Queen from his chest. Tyrion doesn’t want to carry the weight of everything on his shoulders anymore, so he won’t. He thought he saved them, but instead, he helped them die together. He’s picked the stones off his dead siblings’ bodies. His face is sunken, his beard is scraggly. There’s a fine line between queendom and fascism, and Daenerys is sliding quickly into the latter. Note: Each drafted character who survived the finale gets an additional 20 points. Until then, let’s get into the final Game of Thrones recap and hand out some points. I hope we can do it again soon with three different Game of Thrones prequel series. I’m so thankful I was given the privilege of spending time with you, dear readers, who came back week after week to see how points were assigned and talk with other fans in the comments section. Maybe it’s corny to admit, but as the meme says, Game of Thrones was about the friends we made along the way. Frankly, I am sorry we’re moving past this cultural milestone. I will miss everything about Game of Thrones that made it special, and that ironically has less to do with Game of Thrones as a show and more to do with the community that grew around it and took ownership of it. I will miss bickering about plot points and reading fan theories. I’m not necessarily going to miss the fiercely loyal Starks or dysfunctional Lannisters, but I will miss tweeting, reading, and writing about it every week. It became a weekly communal and interactive affair. If you’ll forgive me, I’d like to take a second to say goodbye. Regardless of how people felt about the episode (the next big battle is playing out on Twitter right now as people defend why they liked the outcome or rage about how they hated it), the reality is that it’s over.
