Game of Thrones fans love the show for its rich plots, complex characters, and over-the-top spectacle. But can their love be quantified? That’s where statistics comes in. Redditor BWPhoenix organized an extensive survey all about Game of Thrones season 7, and then organized the results into easy-to-digest charts that would make even those Moneyball guys smile. Nearly 28,000 people took the survey. Let’s take a gander at the results.

Let’s start with the most important question of them all: who had the best outfits?

Daenerys wins in a landslide, but we have to chime in for our boy Euron, King of the Iron Islands. The results might have been different if Euron and his Hot Topic pirate couture had been included.

On to less important matters, two of these monarchs got it on this season. The vast majority of respondents were okay with Jon and Dany hooking up even though they’re related. Still, we still feel a little dirty.

As for the season as a whole, the results are far more mixed. Roughly half of the respondents ranked season 7 as either the second or third best season of the show. It would be interesting to see how the results change with time.

Season 7 was criticized for having characters “warp” around the map — for example, Euron Greyjoy being in King’s Landing during the first leg of “The Queen’s Justice” and at Casterly Rock in the final one. Did that bug people?

Incidentally, “rushed” was the most common word used to describe season 7. “Epic” was third. “Boatsex” was fifth.

And what of death, you ask? There was less than usual this year, but we still had a few to cry over:

The survey also covered future events, specifically who might sit the Iron Throne when it’s all said and done. The results might surprise you:

The idea that the show will end without an Iron Throne has long been my personal theory. Vindication!

This is just a snippet of the results. Users also ranked the actors’ performance (Lena Headey claimed the top stop), named which characters they missed most (Tywin Lannister was the victor there, naturally), and much more.
