Games Of Thrones Season 7 Finale: What 'The Dragon And The Wolf' Really Means

11. Tyrion's Regrets

When Tyrion decided to go back to plead with Cersei, he looked like a dead man, no matter how heavy his plot armour hangs on him.

He was surely walking into a viper's nest wearing a shirt made of whatever vipers like to eat, because saying there is no love lost between the two is an understatement the size of an ice giant. She hates him for everything he is, for everything he's done and for everything that what he did has meant to her family.

She admits that she blames him for everything bad that has happened to the Lannisters, because of his murder of Tywin (which was entirely justified), and he argues with her about the importance of family, which seems to trigger her change of heart as she reveals that she's pregnant to Tyrion somewhat unwittingly.

The scene, crucially, also allows us some insight into Tyrion's self-awareness - and perhaps why he doesn't indulge Dany's impulsiveness - he is haunted by his actions leading to the deaths of his niece and nephew (not Joffrey obviously), and even by his murder of Tywin. It's an excellent scene, acted brilliantly, and it's hugely valuable for the insight it offers into Tyrion's mentality.
