And he might not actually be dead, of course. In the world of Game of Thrones , no one should be considered dead unless you see them be killed, and even then, they have a chance at resurrection. Tyrion's face could be in the Hall for a reason that's not his death, something that Thrones fans will only discover when Season 6 premieres.
But until then, you can bet that GoT viewers everywhere are freaking out about the fate of the beloved Lannister. Not well, that's for sure. After Daenerys and Drogon finish destroying most of King's Landing, Tyrion walks through the rubble with Jon Snow and the Northern men who are loyal to him and not, you know, running around killing people who have already surrendered.
Then, he announces that he's going off on his own, even though everyone agrees that's a dangerous idea, considering how very murder-y Dany has become. Tyrion goes off on his own anyway and makes his way down to the dungeons below the Red Keep, where he finds Jaime and Cersei's crushed but still surprisingly attractive dead bodies. The loss of his siblings, coupled with the mass murder in King's Landing , is too much for Tyrion, who decides to go very publicly quit as Hand of the Queen, just as Dany is addressing her troops and promising to keep conquering liberating cities and people all around the world.
For her part, Dany is none too pleased with Tyrion for committing treason by freeing Jaime and trying to help him and Cersei escape and sentences him to death by dragon fire. In spite of his death sentence, Tyrion does not die in the Game of Thrones finale.
Instead, he manages to talk Jon Snow into assassinating Daenerys and is eventually pardoned by Westeros' new king, Bran Stark who is now called Bran the Broken, as if that's a complimentary title. After he's pardoned, Tyrion is named Hand of the King, a title he is really not happy to be taking for a third time. Bran insists that it's part of his punishment—he made a lot of mistakes and now he's going to spend the rest of his life serving the realm and fixing them.
For all of his wit and supposed intelligence, Tyrion isn't actually a great Hand of the Queen to Dany. This is explained in an offhand kind of way during his exchange with Jon Snow, in which he confesses to loving Daenerys too, though "not as successfully" as Jon. So basically, Tyrion was in love with Dany or at least in love with the idea of her as Queen?
It's not totally clear if Tyrion is copping to romantic feelings or not and that clouded his usually better judgment.

Not all sex on Game of Thrones is created equal. Sure, the HBO fantasy drama has not unfairly developed a reputation for gratuitous violence and sexual relations of all configurations—man on woman, man on man, sorceress on man, brother on sister—but some of that stuff matters.
Sex is wielded in Westeros, like everything else, as a form of power. If you're demanding it the way Daenerys tells her bearded underling to strip, it's a good sign you're in charge. Of course, sometimes bare boobs are just bare boobs.
And sex is often a relief—for the characters and the viewers. You need something to break up all the beheading, impaling, and disemboweling. Jorah Mormont talks to a woman about dragons as she tattoos the back of a man whose ass crack is in public view and who contributes nothing to the conversation. Prostitutes run around naked and screaming before a baby is unceremoniously killed.
Sometimes Game of Thrones mixes in sex with its gore. Ned Stark is trying to get some intel in Littlefinger's whorehouse, but his right-hand man is distracted by a woman's ample breasts. A Sand Snake teases Bronn by stripping after he negs her and says she's not "the most beautiful woman" he's ever seen. It turns out she poisoned him with her dagger, and to get the antidote from her, he's forced to change his opinion about her looks.
As with all the Sand Snake scenes, I have no idea why this is happening. The liberated bisexual couple makes it clear to everyone how liberated they really are by fooling around with young, supple prostitutes of both genders, before their sex is rudely interrupted. That happens a lot on Game of Thrones. As relevant as: The guy Paris Hilton sleeps with in her sex tape to Koko the gorilla.
Stannis tries to persuade a pirate to help him as said pirate happens to be engaged in a bathhouse threesome. The bathhouse is tastefully designed. As relevant as: Bella Thorne discussing her bowel movements on social media to anyone who's not Bella Thorne. Naked prostitutes languidly wander around the establishment, and Catelyn Stark is not fine with it. Tyrion pulls out an obviously prosthetic penis to demonstrate how steep the drop from The Wall really is.
Dany's brother is weird and controlling with a woman as he powers through exposition dialogue about dragons. No one seems to know why Hodor is naked and caked in white powder. This includes Bran Stark, who tells him to put on clothes. As Tyrion's bodyguard is having a low-key night of "women and good brown ale," The Mountain cuts in and creates tension. The priestess enjoys a bath while nonchalantly asking her boyfriend's wife to grab her a potion. Bronn gets busy with a woman who tells him to take off her necklace with his mouth, but then Pod makes it awkward.
As relevant as: Logic to the Scarlett Johansson—starring sci-fi film Lucy. Bless its radical incoherence. The savvy eunuch brings one of Littlefinger's employees to his side, but not before explaining why he's not interested in her bare breasts. After some violent action that rattles one of Littlefinger's prostitutes, he gives her a menacing, sociopathic lecture about "bad investments.
The mutineers who have taken over the strangest house in Game of Thrones history also turn Craster's daughters into their property. After she requests payment for her services, the dependably creepy grand maester tells her to "go away.
Viserys strips his sister in order to get a look at the goods he's selling off to Khal Drogo, and he and the camera ogle her. He tells Talisa, "If you don't put clothes on, I can't promise I won't attack you again," which sounds scary but is sweet! Reasserting his power after marrying Sansa, he tells another woman in bed with him, "You're mine. You're not going anywhere.
