Peter Dinklage, in his recent interaction with an American weekly magazine, compared the fans' angry reactions to the final season of the epic fantasy drama Game of Thrones to a relationship break up. The similarity in the two situations, he claimed, is that as people hate the idea of an end to something, they tend to react with anger. Peter went on to state that he has been proud to be such an important part of the iconic show which had been brilliantly envisioned by directors David Benioff and DB Weiss.
