Game of Thrones - Season 8

[Jimmy]

From the books, I think Jon is Azor Ahai.

I may be the only one who thinks Samwell dies in the Crypts. Not sure his role after this episode.  He has already revealed to Dany and Jon the truth (backed up by Bran) of their lineage, he has given his family sword to Jorah...what is left for him? Am I missing something?

[Dex]

I think there was a major spoiler at the end of the second episode post credit trailer. I'm not totally sure if it's confirmed or that it will happen but.... If you look really close you can see that HBO's The Wire is the greatest show of all time.

I think Sam writes the "book of ice and fire" after it all.

Anyway I think Jamie is my first pick to be Azor Ahai, or no one.    But Hound would be too on the nose for GRRM I think, too obvious.    Jamie's character has had a full development and the way Bran acted like he's very important makes me think.

The Night King and Frank have similar goals. Once wants a wall taken down and another wants a canal dredged.

He'll be the head of House Tarly at the very least. I'm assuming what is left of their forces are already with Dany at Winterfell anyway. Little Sam can be his heir.

re-touching my Azor Ahai list:

Jon - most obvious from books and show

The Hound - my #1 for a long time because of his character development. He goes from being basically a merc/sellsword to actually being a human being, and caring about the Stark girls, and justice in the cold, dark world that saw him marred by fire. He basically died (the Hound persona) in the Saltpans in the books (and on the show, in somewhat different circumstances, after his brother and company burned everything there ("amidst salt and smoke")

Sam - it'd be fitting for the "I always wanted to be a wizard" fat nerd kid to triumph and become a hero of legend after arriving at the wall basically a coward afraid of his own shadow. He's killed a White Walker, fought for and saved the innocent (Gilly and little Sam,) had an amazing journey, and now is the last male heir to his house.

Jaime - Arguably the most redemptive character arc in the series, minus maybe Theon. Without his actions, none of this would have been possible. Cersei is his Nissa Nissa. He's already "killed" the lion within himself.

Jorah - I only give him an outside shot at the AA prophecy on the off chance he has to murder Dany, his obvious love, in order to save humanity.

you just shook so bad by these last two epic episodes bruh... you worried that GoT gonna take that spot in your heart...

I have a feeling after episode three we'll all either be completely devastated, or completely elated.

Can't judge a series until it has ended so you've got me there. But it would need the perfect fuging ending.

What would that be, for you?

I'm kinda torn, personally. In a way, I think everyone dying would be what was fitting.

In a way, you hope for your favorites to somehow win in the end. For me, that'd at least be the Hound, Bronn, and maybe Arya. I think my boi Tormund is done, unless he indeed lives and is given a castle like the Last Hearth or even Castle Black or something like that. That would be sweet.

Maybe the perfect ending for me would be for there to be no more Iron Throne. No more one seat to rule from. Maybe they figure out that they can live more peacefully without someone having to be king or queen.

I think they kind of touched on it with Bran talking about why the Night King targeting him because he wants to end history. He wants everyone to forget everything in the past, and for an endless night. But night/day, dark/light, life/death, fire/ice are all nonexistent without the known presence of its opposite. Because of this, I think the White Walkers/Night King survive, but maybe the realms reunite and figure out a way to keep the balance/wall up.

This is the most poetic theory and the one I hope they choose.
