Game of Thrones - Season 8

[Darth Biscuit]

So many options... at least that's all exciting to think about.

 

People dying yay!

[CRA]

all I know is...95% of the viewers will most likely have something in common at the end.  

I mean the finale wasn't just written by D&D like season 8, but this one is actually directed by them as well.    And they have been pretty open about how they are going to go into hiding.  You don't intentionally disappear and hide from something you are proud of and believe is good.  Yeah, social media exist.  Big deal.  If you think you put together a Breaking Bad caliber ending...you wouldn't go hide from the world.   You only do that when you know you fugged it up.

The only thing that really prevents me from 100% agreeing is the prophecy of the prince who was promised...  I keep wondering if Jon will kill Dany, Grey Worm rushes to defend her, and Arya takes out Grey Worm wearing an unsullied face?

No matter what, Dany dies on Sunday, for sure.

Man, I have been asking repeatedly when Arya would disguise herself again...  I've been waiting all season.  Your idea would be a great way to reintroduce it.

Also thought of a few other things to consider...  someone told me Sophie Turner did an interview before the season and said that Sansa is transformed into a "warrior" by the end of the season.  I'll have to search for that interview, but if that is true, it hasnt happened yet.  Considering the tension between her and Dany so far, what if the twist/surprise we didnt see coming was Sansa kills Dany.  But, I could only see her doing so with poison...  so, that theory is kind of iffy.

Also, I'd been convinced that Jon was The Prince That Was Promised until I found out over the last year that in the language from the books, the word for prince is non-gendered...  so there's that.

Part of me thinks the "Arya using faces" thing is done. D&D shot their load on the Freys. I believe Bran will warg into Drogon and kill Dany or the warging will at least play a part in her death. She'll order Drogon to kill Jon or Sansa and he won't.

That would be super dope.  And seems the most logistically plausible, bc every other scenario we have theorized otherwise, I just can't figure out how Dany would be killed by one of the other characters and still get around leaving her whole army and Drogon.

Not necessarily. Matt Weiner (Mad Men) and Mike Schur (Parks & Rec/The Good Place) always used to disappear after a series/season finale. And those shows were much lower profile than GOT.

Like those guys, D&D will probably re-surface a month later, after they're done hiding from the angry Dany fans.

Drogon has to die. Balance needs to return to Westeros. Drogon is a cheat code.

I heard about a deleted scene where her and Tyrion were fighting wights in the crypts.  That could be what she was referring to.

It would be great if they ended the show with Dany dead, Jon headed for the wall, and closed on a clutch of eggs hatching at Dragonstone.

The best changed I've heard is that Rhaegal isn't killed in ep3.   Everything stays the same, but maybe he just gets injured.  During the battle he stays high in the air just as a backup and lands with Dany/Drogon once the scorpions are taken out.  Same scene happens, bell ring and such, but at that moment Euron pops out a hidden scorpion in the city and takes out Rhaegal(instead of having that silly fight with Jaime).  The crowd starts cheering, maybe even starts desecrating Rhaegal's body in some way(or maybe he's injured enough just to fall into the city and people swarm and kill him).  Dany enrages and the same thing plays out.

Dany can now make the argument that she had to destroy everything to make sure there weren't anymore hidden scorpions but everyone really thinks she was just going on a revenge binge.  It's nice and morally ambiguous.  When Dany gets killed in the finale(which is pretty much inevitable at this point) the fan base gets split and makes for a great ending that people will talk about for a while.  #DanyDidNothingWrong

I think 2 of those are a given.    Dany dies.  Jon goes North.

maybe.  But there is a lot of slow drip IMO from interviews w/ even the cast basically foreshadowing what a disappointing job they did w/ this story.   And 5/6th of the way through that has held true.  Nothing IMO suggests episode 6 is going to be different.  Will be a rushed together episode that poorly tells the story in a satisfying way. 

GOT might not even finish as a top 5 HBO series

It has already forfeited that right on my list.  Of course my Top 5 All-Time HBO shows and my Top 5 All-Time Shows are one in the same

I have heard the ideas that Dany has Drogon torch Jon and he either does not do it or Bran wargs into him or whatever.  Any chance it happens and Jon just Night King smirks at her?
