I’m pretty sure those books are never going to exist. Because like so many people in this thread, I have low expectations.

You know, it was said before that Martin gave D&D a general gist as to how the books would end and where each important character would end up. It was their job to fill in the gaps.

That said. It means that GRRM actually wanted Dany to burn the city and lose 2/3 of her dragons. He also wanted Arya to kill the night king. In regards to the other stories - having Jamie do a 360 and moonwalk away from his character arc must have also been part of George's plan. Very hard to believe, I know, but I doubt George would neglect to tell them the fate of such an important character.

Granted, now that we have all witnessed how terrible the plot has become, George is always free to change his mind. He could look at the TV audience as a "test audience" and think "hmmm maybe I should have Bran actually do something and have the Night King actually be the main villain of the story and not die in such a lame ass way".

Personally, I'd have Winterfell be destroyed and have the remaining forces of man retreat past the neck and have them be sandwiched in between the undead and Cersei's forces. Maybe have King's Landing be the last stand, with the dragon battles causing the city to be burned to ashes. At least that would make them a little bit more intimidating.


I don't think that it means any of what you said.

GRRM could have just said "Dany becomes tyrannical and gets killed" and "The Night King loses at Winterfell" and "Jaime dies with Cersei". How all of those end up happening in the books could be wildly different.

You really don't think they'd ask "How does the night king die?" or "What happened with Jamie and Cersei?"
If you're interviewing someone about something important, usually there's followup questions.

DnD confirmed in an ep.3(?) bts interview that they decided Arya was to kill the NK three years ago, that having Jon do it didn't seem right. So no, I don't think GRRM has had much input on how the end of the show plays out.

As for Dany turning into Hitler burning innocents on the streets for no apparent reason. Come on, that's what anyone who just lost a child would do...

At this point i'm gonna put my money on Gendry for new King. Dany and Tyrion are gonna die, Jon is going to the wildlings, Arya is gonna fuck of to somewhere where she is alone and everyone else will be quietly forgotten just like Dorne for the past 3 seasons because no time to fit them in the last 70 minutes
J/k no seriously, i'm really wondering who is going to "win" the game if thrones. Not that there is much left to rule..

My bet is there is no high king after all of this. That the throne and the fight over who should sit on it is bad.

Are you talking about that scene?



if so - I am sure its Ash not snow and the sequence after it is her traveling to the afterlife / dying and meeting her loved ones. So pretty confident Dany is going nowhere to be fair.


Edit: nevermind, saw what you guys were referring too. Last shot doesnt necessary means in order. But lets see.

Could be snow that sits on the throne or the queen of the ashes, think it will be Jon in the end.

I'm fairly certain Daenerys is suffering from misophonia, specifically triggered by the bells.

i dont think nothing weird happened with any of the characters, its just how fast everything happened

one day they were in war and beating vs the dude they have been hyping since season 1 (for fucking years) and the reaction to that was like "ok, thats cool, what's next?"

too fast

Possible that we get a short scene of Jamie and Cersei heavily wounded and Jamie mercy kills her or something but seems unlikely now.

More likely that someone brought it up and they just said "naaaaaa can't be bothered to think why that would happen so they can just die with everyone else because dragon"

having watched all season in like 13 days

maggy never talks about the valonqar in the show, she only says cersei will be queen and another younger more beatiful will come and take all what she holds, and that she will only have 3 kids, and she did: Joffrey, Myrcella, Tommen.

so the prophecy isn't actually unfulfillled, the things actually happened, is just not the same as the books

They could ask.

They also have the artistic license to change whatever the hell they want because it's their TV show and both TV shows and movies regularly change the plot of adaptations to make it "more TV/movie friendly".

Furthermore, there is a very concrete difference between the writing based on GRRM's source material and the writing beyond it. One is good, the other is not. Until we get a book 6 to show us if the books follow closely or not, I'll give Martin the benefit of the doubt, based on all of his current work.

Obviously you wouldn't understand that there is a difference between having the same overall plot points, and how they get executed/developed.
Everytime someone tried to come from that angle you reject it, i have to assume because you have no idea what storytelling is and how it works.

I am pretty confident that a lot of the plotpoints will be the same, dany will do terrible things in the books as well, but it will be justified differently, we have one big plotline in the books which isn't present at all in the show which will help a ton in that department.
About the long night: There is no nightking in the books, this will be extremely different solely based on this crucial fact.

But hey, hurr durr fanboys am i right. I wouldn't have thought that one person could trigger me as much, but you adn that fish dude actually did it.


zzzz stop crying why you dragging my name into this. feast for crows sucks. IT IS KNOWN. keep the discussion on the brilliant episode 5. how will episode 6 top episode 5??????

Ok.. 39 minutes in now... just fuck this shit. Gonna rewatch Terminator 2, this is just horrible and uninteresting,


I'm half serious, gonna go to bed now, probably will watch the rest tomorrow.


This is so bad.

edit: This is basically everything that went wrong with action cinema in the last ~15 years. Seriously, fuck this shit.
If you like this, you like "the fast and the furious" and no, there is no excuse known to man for this.
