Nuwtfly Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Can't see anyone getting the ending they want, now. Unless you've been keen to see Gendry or Bran on the Throne or something. No chance they're going to end it with Dany sat on the Throne after what she's done. Jon will probably kill her and then take the Black again (if there's even a Watch to go to).

It’s everywhere now You may never have heard it before, but its a major literary device used in all manner of media - film, tv, literature and video games. Literally thousands of examples. If you are implying it was never used in relation to game of thrones thats just plain incorrect. GRRM himself mentions it himself in several interviews. Plus before this season most people were under the impression thts some of the setup in previous seasons was going to mean something, but nope.

Mr. P Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I wonder if it was budget issues with it feeling rushed and only doing one last season with less episodes? Lena Headey was on a million an episode for basically looking out of a window drinking wine. The other main actors are probably on nearly as much.

Budget is a huge issue and is the primary reason why they’ve shat on Ghost since Season 6. The dragons are really expensive. Although HBO apparently offered the show writers more money and more episodes for Season 8. Why the duck they rejected it I don’t know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they remade the final series, they’d have a budget of £10 and a completely new cast. Min which case, everyone who signs the petition might as well just do their own version.

No, we haven't, is the short answer. We just know that there always has to be a Night King. My theory is that the Lord of Light/God of Death are two sides of the same coin. Both exist together and therefore depend on each other to survive (this explains Mellisandre's loss of power and death after the Night King is defeated). Wouldn't be surprised to see this season end with the discovery of another white walker pattern... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly with a manic laugh in the background. Classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin had always hinted the difference between "good" and "evil" was highly subjective and he wanted to subvert expectation of who the bad guys were. The night king's intentions weren't really any less beneign than Daenerys Targaryen's, they both wanted to conquer did they not? And for the night king, their enemy (men) wanted to effectively banish them from the wider realm with a great big wall and wipe them out at the first opportunity. The feeling between both sides was decidely hostile, both wanting to annihilate the other. I was expecting some large reveal of the history of the white walkers, the real relationship between them and men but all we got in the end was the usual baddie meets teen ninja who ends up kicking his ass. Yawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuespachRam Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Finally been able to switch off and think of something other than the play off final... was hoping for something more “satisfying” ended up feeling a little let down. Felt It was all set up for multiple spin offs that is for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
