Let’s start with the obvious: Kit Harington as Jon Snow. Remember when we all thought he was dead for good? By Season 7, he’s not just alive—he’s the King in the North. It’s like that friend who went through a rough breakup, moved to a cabin, and then suddenly became the mayor of the whole town. Wait, does that make sense? Maybe it’s more like a zombie who got promoted to CEO.
Then there’s Emilia Clarke as Daenerys Targaryen. She finally lands in Westeros with her dragons, and it’s like a pop superstar arriving at a stadium—except her dragons are the pyrotechnics. You have to ask: does she look cool? Yes. Is she also a little terrifying? Absolutely. Her whole vibe this season is “I’m here to break the wheel,” but you can’t help but wonder if the wheel is about to hit back.
The Unsung Heroes and Surprising Pairs
What about Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as Jaime Lannister? By Season 7, he’s basically the guy who realizes his girlfriend is actually a supervillain. You know the type—the one who slowly starts packing their bags while looking at you with sad, confused eyes. His scenes with Gwendoline Christie as Brienne of Tarth are pure gold. They’re like a buddy cop movie, but with swords and a lot of longing stares.
And let’s not forget the ultimate odd couple: Peter Dinklage (Tyrion) and Lena Headey (Cersei). Tyrion is trying to be a wise advisor, while Cersei is just sipping wine and plotting everyone’s doom. It’s like watching a cat and a mouse play chess—except the mouse has a crossbow and the cat is drinking herself silly.
