What do we think the last episode title will be? I'm guessing it's one of A Dream of Spring, A Song of Ice and Fire, or Fire and Blood (surprised that wasn't Episode 5's title....I thought it would/should have been that or "The Dragon and the Lion"...but they went for the bells callback from Varys in S2)
I was convinced for a long time that the title of the last episode was going to be "A Song of Ice and Fire" but now I don't really think that one makes sense. "A Dream of Spring" I suppose... Nothing to do with the content of the episodes themselves, I really think the best title for the last episode would have been ASOIAF.
True, another contender. I'm trying to think of an ending I'd hate.....It's all going to feel really rushed no matter what. I kind of expect most of the predictable possible outcomes at this point (Jon as King, Jon giving up the throne, a democratic committee of lords, all the lords picking a new king, or straight up no more united kingdoms and they all split)...I can live with all of those, especially if they'r executed correctly (or, as correctly as possible considering the time allowed). I'd just hate something stupid out of left field like Arya or Gendry winding up in the throne lol. I guess Gendry wouldn't be THAT out there since he's Robert's true heir but...no. The new King/Queen should be one of Sansa, Bran, or Tyrion. No one else makes no sense at all and honestly any of those 3 don't make a whole lotta sense either other than their different qualifications for the job. Aristocracy/Oligarchy it is!
A Dream of Spring made a lot more sense when it seemed like winter would be a bigger threat to the entire season. I still feel like it’s a good bet, but most of this season as had kind of out there titles so who knows.
How sure are we that the spoilers for the end are real? You can still bet on a few outcomes for the final episode on Mybookie.com and some guaranteed money sounds really great... But also I don't think I could bring myself to read the spoilers and ruin it for myself.
I have to be honest - I HATE the lack of story symmetry in how the very first scene of the pilot episode had a White Walker rising up but that entire threat was wiped out in Episode 3 of the last season. That will never not bug the hell out of me.
Your avatar with this post amuses me. As for the spoilers, at this point everything has been weeded out so it only includes those who have been proven correct before. Some of the posts are from a super long time ago, so it wouldn’t really make sense for bits of them to be wrong now. There was a lot of discussion (and mostly just pure hope) about the possibility that some fakes were added in with real spoilers to keep everyone surprised, but after how specifically correct the last episode was I think the assumption is that they are on the money. I definitely wouldn’t check any betting sites if you don’t want any clue about what the leaks say.
Not going to lie, I was waiting for them to to something during the final sequence of The Long Night where the zombie dragon shoots fire at Jon and it doesn't burn him.... Like he's still just standing there after the smoke clears like Luke during The Last Jedi (brushes dirt off of his shoulder). hahaha.
I'd be shocked if the show broached that rumor at this point. Same here. I refuse to believe that story line will be as summarily dismissed in the books as on the show. I actually had always expected that the Walkers wouldn't be defeated, because so much of the story skews away from happy endings, or more traditional fantasy tropes. Having the humans defeat the Night King and his army like that seems much more like something that would happen in any other fantasy series, not one which made its name by killing off Ned Stark in the first book.
Ooh, I like that. I wonder whatever became of the infant the NK changed into a Walker back in season 4. Did he stay a baby, or is/was he in the process of growing up? My guess is we'll never know.
The fact that the NK and WW make deals or agreements at all is also very confusing after this season leaned into the idea that they are only killing machines with no deeper goals or thought.
Jaime's ending was weird, but I just kind of chose not to think about it. I just rewatched the scene where he says his goodbye to Brienne.....still don't get it. "Listen, every bad thing I've ever done has been because of Cersei. I've been trying to be a better person by separating myself from her because she sucks. She even hired someone to kill me recently............... I'm going to go hold her in my arms and make sure she's okay."
i can't imagine it turned into a dead looking adult already but who knows. little same is supposed to be baby boy #100 so in theory they turned 99 other babies. if they do turn into white walkers, we only saw like 10 max? so there must be more somewhere unless they died when the night king did. i guess the white walkers in the godswood all fell so it would be inconsistent for any others to still be alive pretty sure this is just a show issue. i haven't read the books but i think they're more of a society. the show probably decided later on that it'd be easier to just make them killing machines
Yeah, the NK isn’t even in the books so I’m assuming most of what happened with them is a show only issue and the endgame for the WW will be treated differently if they ever get finished.
I know this is me over thinking things, but one potential drawback / side-effect / consequence of leaving something as a completely unexplained mystery is that we have absolutely no idea what they are actually capable of. Based on what we saw at the end of the battle in "The Long Night", it is reasonable to assume that all of them everywhere burst into shards and perished, but since we actually still know fuck all about them, if they just showed back up all you could do is whine and say you thought they were all gone whilst they killed you. Edited to add that I in no way whatsoever think the NK or WW are coming back, I'm just saying.
