What if you had that an exam question, huh ? Not your typical Series 7 FINRA exam for some of readers, but nevertheless an exam question that you’re graded on.
Let’s try not to fail this question.
I’ve taken more takes on GoT than on any other film series, with the exception of Spartacus: Gods of the Arena.
It’s easy to see why: GoT has:
- Won 239 awards
- 47 Emmys
- Most tweeted show of all times
- Most popular show in the word
- 6 Guinness Book of World Records
- most pirated show of all time
People struggled hard that their newly minted tyrant turned dead on arrival to the Throne.
So, what happened ?
Not surprisingly, Tyrion, the last of the Lannisters, shaped the decisions and the outcomes in the last episode. In the exchange he has with Jon Snow, at Snow’s remark “Love is the death of duty” (sourced to a Master Aemon) , Tyrion says: Duty is the death of love.
Love is a joke, and the joke is on you…unless you’re the Dragon, who melts the Iron Throne.
Tyrion: Who is the greatest threat to the people now ?
“You’re the most powerful men in Westeros.
Choose one.”
So they chose…
What unites people is stories.
Hence, Brandon…
“That’s the wheel our Queen wanted to break…”-Tyrion to Brandon
“No one is very happy,
Which means is a good compromise.”
All these quotes are from Master Tyrion.
The true Master of the Episode, and of the Series.
Him and Bran, who in 2017/18 when I was writing the Book of The Underdog I saw rising.
I hope you’ll grab the book where I asked you to watch for the future King of the Six Kingdoms.
Watch this
Great scene.
GoT answers questions like:
1. Are tyrants born or made ?
2. What does it take to get the Throne ?
I wasn’t a follower of GoT from its start, and and only more recently became a fan. I’m going to have to watch this from the beginning.
Life is a Game of Thrones.
Tyrion walks into a brothel with a honeycomb and a jackass.
Madame: What can we do for you?
Tyrion: I need a woman to lay with, for mine has left me.
Madame: Whatever for? And what’s with the honeycomb and the mule?
Tyrion: My woman found a genie in a bottle, and he granted her three wishes. The first was for a house fit for a queen, so he gave her this damn honeycomb. The second wish was that she have the nicest ass in all the land, so he gave her this damn donkey…
Madame: And what about the third wish?
Tyrion: Well… she asked the genie to make my cock hang down past my knee.
Madame: Well that one’s not so bad eh?
Tyrion: Not so bad!? I used to be six foot three!
Tyrion: You’re being sent to the Night’s Watch
Jon S.: Is there still a Night’s Watch ?
Tyrion: The world will always need a home,
For bastards and broken men.
Hence we made this site.
Broken, maybe, but never subservient.
