GAME OF THRONES (OV): THE COMPLETE SERIES TẬP 105

The rest of it falls lớn Jon Snow and Tyrion in the other weak spot of the finale. While Clarke overcomes the shortcomings of season 8 here, Kit Harington fares not so easily in portraying the conflict of a man reduced khổng lồ whine, “She’s my queen” one or six too many times. He sees Grey Worm execute Lannister survivors in the street and, realizing if he attempted lớn stop it he’d only be adding his toàn thân to the pile, quietly sulks off. One would hope this would be the last straw, or Arya pointing out that he & especially Sansa will be next on the chopping block, but Jon continues to drag his feet to lớn the inevitable conclusion of this passion play. It is left up to Tyrion lớn act as a mouthpiece for Benioff và Weiss, walking Jon & the audience to the inevitable outcome.

Dinklage is fine in this scene, & perhaps his words need lớn be said since so many viewers apparently forgot about Daenerys’ penchant for torture and terror, but it is still a rather heavy-handed moment when Tyrion’s lips move, và out comes the showrunners’ words, giving their closest to lớn an “Inside the Episode” this week. As Tyrion says, “Everywhere she goes, evil men die & we cheer her for it,” Tyrion sums up the complicity viewers and readers have been set-up lớn have signed on for with Dany. She conquered with ease, but her rule in seasons 5 and 6 was shaky at best. She might’ve locked up her dragons, but she still used them khổng lồ threaten & frighten her enemies in Meereen, even if they really were evil men. It’s easy to lớn overlook your very flawed hero isn’t becoming a superhero but a leader with a messiah complex when the only ones suffering at her whims are people we think have it coming.

Still, it’s a neat trick that Tyrion could articulate all those warning bells we ignored when he wasn’t there to lớn cheer for any of them.

… Anyway, Tyrion’s pep talk is probably the most successful political machination he coordinates in the whole final season, as it forces Jon Snow to stop brooding và start facing hard truths. I would’ve preferred the ambiguity of Daenerys not being mad at all, but the episode at least does not forget she is still the Daenerys we’d come lớn love over nine lớn 23 years (depending when you jumped on). She is still the young woman who dreamed of one day seeing the Iron Throne her brother always spoke longingly of, và who reverts to something adjacent of that girlhood when finally standing before it. In a visual remake of her vision in the House of the Undying from season 2 when she approaches a throne covered in snow và ash alike. Her family’s dragonfire is responsible for the ungainly chair she now worships, và her personal rồng has charred the throne to lớn a brittle husk, but it still stands. That và everything it represents.

Daenerys has what she dreamed about but it isn’t enough. Dragons vì not plant, and she’s had her fill of ruling ungrateful people after Meereen. She wants to lớn move on và continue what she does best, unable to lớn accept she has enough. What she at last does accept though is that she is no longer alone. Ever since Viserys died, the knowledge that she is the Last Targaryen has festered as a birthright và an added pressure on Dany. Discovering Jon was her nephew was neither welcome news of kinship or even unwelcome news of romance; it was just one more obstacle on her quest for power… perhaps the biggest one. In this moment though, she offers Jon Snow something she never had from Viserys, much less the parents didn’t know: acceptance of family.

Jon Snow, poor fool that he is, loves her too, as a queen, a lover, and mayhaps even a final connection khổng lồ a heritage he didn’t know was his until a few months ago. And he still is compelled khổng lồ betray her. I’m sure some fans will squint khổng lồ see if there is any meaning in his stabbing Daenerys like the prophecy of Azor Ahai stabbing his wife to allegedly forge a sword that would defeat the trắng Walkers in millennia past. Và there is probably something lớn unpack there, considering even if they already saved the world from ending in Ice, he is doing this to lớn save it from ending in Fire (poet Robert Frost would be pleased). But the greater tragedy is that a man is killing a woman he loves as well as the last bit of Targaryen family they both have in this world because of an earthlier demon within us all.

There is supernatural meaning aplenty khổng lồ be gleaned—Jon Snow’s betrayal of love also echoes a prophecy from season 2 where Daenerys was told she’d be betrayed first for gold (Jorah), then for blood (Mirri Maz Durr), and finally for love (Jon)—but the potency is in the human scale. In Daenerys’ thirst for “breaking the wheel” she ended up becoming as ruthless a driver of it as any this world has seen. She became consumed by her own human failings instead of living up khổng lồ the divine ones she imagined. Whatever prophetic meaning in Jon’s betrayal that’s hidden becomes immaterial lớn the human and psychological cost of what he does. It’s been noted that Martin’s favorite part of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings is the “Scouring of the Shire,” an epilogue so long-winded even Peter Jackson did not adapt it in Return of the King. Aye, even after defeating Sauron, the problems of the world continued when a civil war broke out in the Shire due to reasons too convoluted to các mục here.

The point, however, is that the kết thúc of Game of Thrones mirrors the over of the literary Lord of the Rings, save the scouring of the Shire becomes more paramount to lớn the story than destroying the Great Evil (Sauron or the trắng Walkers). Humanity’s gross pettiness lives on, và the woman who made defeating the Evil possible still succumbs to her own much less fantastic demons, & it leaves the last person left in the world she loves almost as much in total ruin.

It’s as ashen as the debris beneath their feet, but the quiet acceptance of it is represented by neither character—that honor belongs to lớn Drogon. Admittedly, I suspect the reason he does not roast Jon Snow is he knows Jon is a Targaryen, but the rồng which is said lớn have the intelligence of a human does not kill the murderer of his mother or really consider the sight beyond his despair at losing Mhysa. He instead makes the choice we all want to: Drogon roasts the damnable Iron Throne she so coveted and that has driven many mad with ambition. He returns the monument of Targaryen power khổng lồ the dust & with a surprising amount of dignity, và to my chagrin, takes Dany’s body toàn thân and flies off back lớn where they were both happier. I dreaded how the series would handle Drogon, not least of all because there didn’t seem to be a satisfying way to lớn defeat the beast, và it instead became one of the most tasteful moment of the finale.
