I have to ask, though: What's so funny about this idea? Because up until Sam's suggestion is shot down, Game of Thrones had been laying a trail toward the eventual liberation of the commoners from the continent's oppressive feudal system. "Maybe we should give the dogs a vote as well!" chimes in Edmure Tully. "Maybe the decision about what's best for everyone should be left to, well, everyone." His comment is followed by a profound pause that serves as the showrunner's wind-up to their cynical punch line: Psyche! Did you actually think for a moment that Westeros was going to become a democracy? The lords laugh the idea off, and even Sansa gives the proposition a smirk. "We represent all the great houses, but whomever we choose, they won't just rule over lords and ladies," he pipes in.
#GOT FINALE TIME SERIES#
Prior to the "most powerful people" in Westeros picking their new ( and hitherto useless) leader in the series finale, Samwell Tarly is mocked, one last time, for his whimsical ideas. But still I wonder: What was the point in all those clues that pointed toward the culmination in a new political system, only for Westeros' ruling class to be restored yet again? The series' controversial and rocky final season concluded on Sunday night with the surprise crowning of Bran the Broken and the determination that oligarchy - not democracy - is the system to best honor Daenerys' dream of "breaking the wheel."Īdmittedly, the show is called Game of Thrones, not Game of the Ballot Boxes. Eight seasons after King Robert Baratheon's death opened a power vacuum in Westeros, we at last have our "winner" in the eponymous Game of Thrones.
