GoT’s Tyrion fan theory is wrong, he’s not a traitor or jealous of Jon

WHEN Tyrion Lannister was caught with a strange look on his face as Jon and Daenerys got jiggy at the end of season seven, fans went crazy. But the theories are wrong, he’s not jealous or a traitor.

AS JON Snow and Daenerys Targaryen committed auntcest at the end of season seven, footage of Tyrion Lannister lurking in the shadows with a strange look on his face sent fans into meltdown.

Many fans think this means Tyrion is in love with Dany and is now jealous of Jon. And the act of steamy auntcest that they committed will drive him to betray Dany and help out the Lannisters (if he hasn’t already promised that to Cersei).

However, the episode’s director Jeremy Podeswa has poured cold water on these fevered theories.

“That moment, for me, was ... really about Tyrion having witnessed what he witnessed this year, having a great deal of concern about what the consequences of this might be in the future,” he told website Mashable.

“There was a previous understanding of what the alliance between all these parties was about, and now that’s complicated by the fact that there’s a more intimate relationship we see [between] two of the key players in this alliance, one of whom is the person he’s really devoted his life to at this point: Daenerys.”

Tyrion cares about Daenerys but he’s not in love with her.

“Now Jon will more than likely have a larger role to play, and what kind of choices is Daenerys going to make now that she has changed the dynamic between her and Jon?

“Is she now going to make choices based on the fact that she has an intimate relationship with him, or is she still going to be as pragmatic and strong as she would otherwise be?

“All that is a question now, and as her chief strategist — as her Hand — not being able to see what the future holds is a worry.”

So, basically Tyrion is not like Ser Jorah, who will be seriously pissed off that Dany has found love with her nephew.

Instead, Tyrion is worried about what will happen to the relationship. After all, love doesn’t usually end too well on this show.

In fact it’s hard to think of one that hasn’t ended in disaster, with the exception of Sam and Gilly.

And he’s got a point, as well. After all, one of them has to Azor Ahai, the saviour prophesied to kill the Night King with a sword that has to be plunged into the heart of their true love first.

He’s got a right to be worried.

But he’s not a traitor ... yet.
