Analysis: Sansa Stark should sit on the Iron Throne in 'Game of Thrones' — and it looks like she might
Sophie Turner in Season 8 of HBO's"Game of Thrones." By Elahe Izadi Elahe Izadi Pop culture writer Email Bio Follow May 1 at 11:15 AM This post contains spoilers for “Game of Thrones,” Season 8.
Several things would need to go down for this to happen: Jaime Lannister could kill his sister/former lover, Cersei. Daenerys could die in battle. So could Jon Snow, or if he survives, he could abdicate, hand the reins over to Sansa and spend the rest of his life brooding over his terrible dating track record. Maybe Tyrion will end up as Sansa’s Hand, or even her husband . Brienne of Tarth, the most trustworthy person around, could be in charge of Sansa’s Queensguard.
[The most ridiculous moments from the Battle of Winterfell on ‘Game of Thrones,’ from a useless Bran to a speedy Arya] Over eight seasons, Sansa has become well-versed in the treachery, lying and harm those with power are capable of rendering. Sure, she trusted the wrong people in previous seasons . But she’s knows better now.[The true hero of ‘Game of Thrones’ emerges at the Battle of Winterfell. Who it is shouldn’t be surprising.]
Sansa proved her smarts as the only major character who immediately doubted Cersei’s pledge of support in the fight against the dead — and that included the Lannister brothers who should know Cersei better than anyone. In the season premiere, Sansa tells Tyrion that she once considered him to be the most clever man she knew, but he’s now basically a dummy for believing the Lannister forces were en route.
In that scene, Cersei declares she has been promised to prince Rhaegar Targaryen. “You’ll never wed the prince,” Maggy says. “You’ll wed the king.” True, and true — Cersei didn’t marry Rhaegar, but rather Robert Baratheon, who became king.
