Sansa Stark broke her own wheel.
There's more to be Watch Psych 2: Lassie Come Home Onlinesaid on what that means, but she's the only reasonable choice of MVP for the final new Game of Thronesepisode we'll ever see. To really appreciate Sansa's importance to both the episode and the future of Westeros, however, we need to look at how she got there.
I guess the more obvious MVP pick would be Jon Snow. He's the one who murdered Dany and ended a tyrant's reign in its infancy. He was literally stabbed to death and then brought back to life for that purpose. And in the end, he did the thing. Huzzah, good for Jon.
But did he really change anything? We all watched that weird final half hour. Life in Westeros returned to normal after Dany died and Drogon left. The boring kind of normal where the people who lead sit around a table and reach society-shaping decisions over idle chatter and petty sniping.
Fine, there's a fair argument that boring statecraft is far preferable to a power-mad despot with a fire-breathing dragon to back up her words. But what did Jon really do? It's not like he derailed Dany's fiery rampage across King's Landing beforeit happened.
True to form, Jon Snow knew nothing. His final heroic act was a begrudging, desperate play. It cost thousands and thousands of lives. And he was still broken up about it. Not exactly MVP material.
Sansa was the only one who had the foresight to put her foot down and say: "F*ck this noise."
The same could be said for Tyrion. He saw firsthand how erratic and irrational Dany had become. He heard the pleading warning from his departed friend, Varys. The former Master of Whispers may have been the most loyal Westerosi citizen when all is said and done; he fought so hard and ultimately gave his life to protect a kingdom he was never in a position to save.
Tyrion's no MVP. Just look at his ending: a life sentence to a job he absolutely didn't want. He serves at the behest of a disinterested king who skips out on work to lucid dream while leaving Tyrion with the task of day-to-day kingdom management.
Yeah, he's still alive. But do you really think that's the life this freewheeling, wine-loving Lannister wants? Especially when he clearly feels a sense of responsibility for the deaths of his sister and brother? Eff that. Just like Jon, Tyrion didn't save sh*t. He rose to the occasion of encouraging Jon to assassinate Dany only after King's Landing was burnt to a cinder.
In the end, Sansa was the only one who looked out across the political landscape and saw the old patterns reasserting themselves. She was the only one who had the foresight to put her foot down and say: "F*ck this noise."
SEE ALSO: Why Sansa and Tyrion are the only rightful rulers of Westeros on 'Game of Thrones'She peaced out. Went back to the north to preside over a kingdom of her own. Sansa may not bring about the golden age that idealistic-to-the-point-of-madness rulers like Dany sought. But she'll be good to her people as a just and kind ruler.
Sansa survived so much over eight Game of Thronesseasons. When it comes to dangerously bad leaders, she studied at the feet of absolute legends. She's seen the good too, but life has hardened Sansa. And not in the clunky, poorly written "I'm better for being abused and raped" sense that she articulated in Season 8's second episode. Sansa has always been strong; even without Joffrey and Ramsay in her life, she was born to rule.
She got the perfect ending. We've heard it many times before: when you play the game of thrones, you win or you die. Sansa Stark is the series MVP because she found a third option: don't play at all. Just do the best that you can for your people and hope you don't f*ck it up.
