By Actor Peter Dinklage, who played Tyrion Lannister for all eight seasons of HBO’s “Game of Thrones,” says he’s still a fan of the show’s controversial final season.
The series, which launched in 2011, came to an end in 2019 with a shortened six-episode eighth season. The series, the biggest show on TV, had been mostly met with praise up until that last run.
However, those episodes divided fans and audiences, and in the wake of the finale a large backlash spread towards the entire series. At the time, some on the show thought the upset was more about the show being over than anything else.
Speaking with Rolling Stone recently to promote western film “The Thicket,” Dinklage looked back at that ending five year on and says he’s happy with it:
“Again, just my opinion. I like the finale! You don’t have to agree with me. How about if I said like, ‘Yeah, I agree. I hated the finale. The whole last season was horrible’? I mean, that would sit much worse than if I said I loved it, which I did.
I can’t speak for anybody else’s opinion, and that’s what makes what we do fun, because everybody does have a difference of opinion and everybody gets to write about it and chat about it and drink over it and argue about it.
It’s great. I mean, I think it means you’re doing something right. It’s like an old Irish way of looking at the world. There’s something wrong if everything’s OK.”
‘Thrones’ may have ended, but two seasons of the prequel spin-off series “House of the Dragon” have aired so far with two more on the way. A second spin-off series, “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms,” will air in 2025.
