Warning: massive spoilers for the Game of Thrones finale ahead!
Game of Thrones came to an end that was both hopeful and tragic. In the latter category, sadly, are Daenerys and Jon, the final pair of star-crossed lovers whose loyalties and bloodlines meant they could never have a happily ever after together. In the end, it's Jon who kills Dany, professing his love and loyalty just before stabbing her to prevent her from continuing a reign of violence and terror. Before he does so, though, he has a lengthy conversation with Tyrion Lannister, trying to sort out his complicated feelings about Dany.
"I know you love her. I love her, too. Not as successfully as you, but I believed in her with all my heart. Love is more powerful than reason. We all know that," Tyrion tells Jon. In response, Jon bitterly quotes Maester Aemon from years ago: "Love is the death of duty.
