The fallout from Daenerys's destruction of King's Landing and the answer to who sits on the Iron Throne.
By David Malitz David Malitz Deputy features editor overseeing coverage of culture, arts, entertainment. Email Bio Follow May 20 at 2:20 AM In the end, nobody sits on the Iron Throne. Forged by a dragon and destroyed by a dragon. Daenerys never got a chance to take her place on the throne as queen, as her lover/nephew/murderer, Jon Snow, listened to his conscience and the advice of Tyrion, putting an end to her reign before it even started.
Jon visits Tyrion in his holding cell, but he brings no wine and also has bad news about the lack of afterlife, and he’s the only one who can speak with authority on the subject. Tyrion decides oblivion is the best he can hope for seeing as how he strangled his lover , shot his own father with a crossbow and also betrayed his queen. Jon can’t justify the actions of Daenerys but is hoping that now that the war is over, she will change.
Before Jon can get too distraught, he has to deal with the immediate fallout of his actions, which makes itself known in the shape of one very large dragon. Drogon’s attempts to rouse Dany are unsuccessful and he lets out a great roar, one which Jon thinks might be the last thing he hears. But Drogon’s target isn’t Jon, it’s the Iron Throne itself, which he manages to melt entirely before staring down Jon and then simply scooping up Daenerys and flying away.
Samwell Tarly has the radical suggestion of letting the people decide, which gets a good chuckle from everyone and even the suggestion that maybe dogs should vote as well, which would probably poll in at least the low 30s if Quinnipiac called 1,000 people this week. Tyrion dismisses a suggestion that he should rule, since half the people hate him for serving Daenerys and the other half hate him for betraying her. He says he’s had nothing to do but think these past few weeks .
