After the seventh season finale, the scenes summarized,
- Tyrion was seen lingering outside Daenerys’s door while she and Jon Snow had their special moment.
The blind speculation from the audiences directed that Tyrion’s actions may have been fueled by his growing romantic feelings for Daenerys.
To which, the finale director Jeremy Podeswa reverted as
“I think there’s jealousy, but it’s maybe not romantic jealousy, in the way that it is for Jorah, for example,” in his interview at Daily Beast.
- Season seven’s battles were bigger and crazier than any the show’s ever done before—the loot train
- The ice dragon—and it seems that season eight will continue in that vein.
