Reveal hidden contents I just don't think this is going to be very complex or interesting. There will be a massive jaw dropping battle, no doubt, and some great moments but none of the theories will end up coming true. The NK will be defeated in this battle. Then in a couple episodes,Cersei will be defeated, lots of people and major characters will have died this season and then it will wrap things up. No Azor Ahai, no TPTWP, no Lightbringer, Bran/NK history, no NK explanation, no Bran/3ER explanation, no time travel, no discovery of the past that turns the battle, no real surprises or complexity or convergence of stories. They're going to finish this up pretty straight forward and predictably imo. I can’t wait to see your next couple takes before Sunday. Next one will be some middle ground before full on hype scenario Saturday night. You know I’m right 😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainly because the plot twists GoT has been know for. Would be quite unsatisfying at this point to have such a predictable ending to the series.

I'm definitely going to be egging you on in this cause it's helping me pass the time between shows so how about Bran says to the NK something like "You can't win. If you strike me down I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine." Now that would be great writing.

BUT, at the same time, think about where this all started 8 years ago. Would a Jon + Dany on the iron Throne ruling over a newly formed government with possibly democratic implementations for the various regions be that predictable of an ending? If you started binge-watching this from scratch after the series is over, do you think you'd find the ending predictable? I think you have to view the show as a whole. Having essentially 8 episodes in the last 3+ years makes it easier to be predictable because we've had so much time to draw conclusions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearrock Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Would it have been a possibility for HBO to not release the number of episodes for season 8 ahead of time? (Or maybe that doesn't work due to some industry issues?). It might have been more suspenseful if we didn't know how many episodes are left.

That'd be a pretty disappointing ending imo. It's something that's been done to death in so many stories. Good triumphs. Heroes, some from almost humble beginnings, others redeeming their families prevail. Super mega happy ending. Sing a song. Dance a dance. Cut to black. That's kinda why part of me wants the Night King to win. Doesn't kill all the characters and population. Ushers in the long night again. Sets up a sequel series with the remaining characters. Like After MASH but actually good and watchable. A prequel series has already been said to be in the works. That's also kind of disappointing. Mainly because prequels are generally bad with numerous plot holes. Hope that's not the case with the GoT series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am actually looking forward to a prequel if it features birth of the white walkers and what happened afterwards. One of the few things that I haven't liked about this series is that it set up two main plots: 1. A fight for the Iron Throne 2. The approaching war with the White Walkers Through story telling, they have established (2) as much more significant than (1). Yet, almost the entire story has been about (1), and we've been given no real background or insight into the WW's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really sure why they chose to do that. The production is costly but hbo n the production team have made a ton off it. Not like the series isn't worthwhile for everyone involved. GRRM said the series should have been 12 seasons. Seems like so much was left out or just skipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hersh Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) Right now I say that there is no way Daenerys lives and takes the throne. She will be killed by either Sam, Jon or a Lannister when she threatens to burn down all of KL if Cersei doesn't kneel. After this, the remaining dragon will still burn it down, Cersei will be killed and Jon will declare that all the kingdoms will be independent. Sansa will become Queen of the North. Jaime will rule Kings Landing. Edited April 24, 2019 by Hersh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PF Chang Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 More than ever I think the Three Eyed Raven is the Lord of Light. The Lord of Light and the Great Other are eternal enemies, same way the Three Eyed Raven and Night King have been enemies throughout history.

Riggodrill44 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I'm betting on the NK to not attack Winterfell, but instead attack Kings Landing with the dead dragon. This doubles the size of his army and effectively destroys half of Dany's allies. Plus we may get Jamie killing a walking blue eyed Cersi. We will then see Jon survive the dead dragons fire/ice breath and proves to Dany he is the true King. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
