Conversely, when the elder Tywin Lannister ruled the kingdoms, he never needed to sit on the throne. Nor did the High Sparrow need to be in the throne room to control all of King’s Landing.

Every person who’s sat on the Iron Throne is, at the conclusion of the show, dead. Daenerys Targaryen merely touches the throne, and within minutes, she’s taking her last breath.

At its best, Game of Thrones is a story about the cyclical destructiveness of the pursuit of power. There was never going to be a good way to end such a tale, as leaving anyone unilaterally on the throne would suggest that the chase for it was somehow worth it or justified. So the throne was conveniently melted down by Drogon, who apparently has a keen dragon sense for allegory. And Tyrion comes up with a sort of power-sharing solution that makes “no one … very happy, which means it’s a good compromise, I suppose.”

Tyrion appears to be more a vessel of power than an active agent of it. Before the final episode begins, his actions lead to his brother and sister’s death, after he frees Jaime from captivity and directs him to an exit route from the Red Keep that ends up burying the pair under a collapsed tunnel. He’s also never quite sure of the effect of his words, which Dinklage artfully conveys by looking around fretfully after proposing Bran as the new king. Like Daenerys with her armies and dragons, Tyrion has a profound vulnerability and uncertainty in exercising the power he has. There’s something beautifully humane, believable, and often tragic about people’s inability to fully know and control their power.

That being said, there are good lingering reasons to be upset over the denouement of the Game of Thrones series. Cersei Lannister, having burned so bright and violent for most of the show, peters out meekly in the penultimate episode. Daenerys loses her mind worse than Bilbo Baggins with the One Ring in his palm. And Bran’s character is so poorly developed that he seems to be a confirmation of the prejudice that having a disability makes people helpless.
