I retired from the police department in 2003 and died in 2011, I guess I need to do a Google Search to find out what Game of Thrones is all about......
Dany has become the "Mad Queen"!
Jon has come to his senses albeit too late.
Still a lot to be played out.
Arya has too many lives. But she is, by far, my favorite character. She may end up having to be the one to kill Dany and/or the last dragon.
Why did she kill Vary’s
Because he was conspiring against her for Jon to be king. And it helps develop the “mad queen” character (but I think burning King’s Landing to the ground helped a bit with that).
Also, strongly implied that Varys was poisoning her. So, execution warranted from her point of view.
Well I have to admit ..I've read the books (twice) watched the show from Season 1 , and I have NO F'ing clue how it will end. NONE ! I thought I had Martin's plot line some what figured out , then when the show passed the books I thought I was getting a little inkling into their direction . Now Season 8 and I'm as lost as last years Easter Eggs. That's my story and I'm sticking to it, good news only have a week to go.
BTW, if you haven't watched the Game Revealed behind the scenes stuff, it's great. Particular the ones for 3 and 5.
You broke character there with "google search." The real columbo used infoseek exclusively!
I'm putting my $$ on Jon and Dany split when she tries to execute Tyrion and Jon dies putting rhe mad queen down leaving Tyrion or maybe Sansa to rule (or both together). Seems like the bitter, happy ending appropriate for the show....though Bran is the x Factor if they decide to really go crazy.
I really hope they don't go with Bran. His involvement in the show once he gave out the Jon parentage info has been mostly bait for the Night King and disappearing during anything important. His character is the biggest example of the show not knowing how to deal with the supernatural stuff from the books.
Speaking of which, I was thinking last night that unless they somehow revisit what happened when Jon died and was brought back it's very lazy writing. They've brought it up at least twice this season only to have Jon basically give a "what are ya gonna do?" shrug and move on. Berrick, The Mountain, in the books Cat, and probably others I'm forgetting are also brought back from death: but with consequences. Berrick is only left alive as long as the Lord of Light has use for him...as with Melisandre. The Mountain and Cat Stark are basically no longer human.
Yet Jon gets brought back and outside of some scars apparently is completely normal. No consequences? Can he still have kids? Is his lifespan normal or is the Lord of Light using him until no longer needed? OR, did you just need an easy way to bring back an important character that Martin killed off so now we should forget it? Unexplained magic for the sake of convenience is probably the worst crime in a fantasy setting.
Well said! The last part about magic as a convenient plot device without explanation is absolutely the mark of a hack in fantasy. That being said, fantasy books and fantasy TV/movies seem to diverge on this point as it seems unforgivable in literature and passable on the screen.
There are a number of these sort of magical devices left dangling out there with both ends loose in the TV series so far and not nearly enough time left to tie them up with a neat bow. I have little hope that GRR Martin will finish the books after the show wraps as well. I wish Patrick Rothfus hadn't shared this page of his playbook...
Deus ex machina always ruin stories.
Beric and Melisandre both died following the end of their usefuleness to the Lord of Light. However, what if his intent is for Jon to rule the Seven Kingdoms? He may end up very healthy and long lived.
Okay, final predictions time.
Who ends up on the Iron Throne?
My pick: Sansa
I’m still saying Jon because I think that’s what the Lord of Light wants from him. You can only say you don’t want it so many times before it becomes obvious you’re the best choice for it.
