Doubt they will focus on rebuilding with the Night King dead, and the wildlings already in the south.

That’s a but Disney’s happily ever after, no?
I can’t see a happy ending or ever after for pretty much anyone involved.
Except maybe Cersei if she does manage to keep the throne and kill them all.
Even then happy isn’t a word your use when it comes to her.

The only real prophecy left is Cersei dying. It’s the only thing I am certain about.dimejinky99 wrote:Anders wrote:Jaime should end up with Casterly Rock and Brienne. Happy ending.

I do think there are characters that will have a somewhat happy ending, surviving with good health, wealth and power at least.

Onoy today listening to a GOT pod from Ken Napzok (Casterly talk) and apparently Martin has previously dismissed prophecies saying they are never to be believed and don’t come true.
Fuck that. I hope her prophecy comes all the watch true. We’re 2/3rds there

Cersei as a character has been caricature over these past few seasons.

Re: HBO: Game of Thrones (Song of Ice and Fire)
I’d say she’s been consistently written and portrayed throughout.
Every one else almost has flip flopped or become one dimensional and annoying (Arya) or changed completely (Jaimie) or writing has changed and failed (Jon /Dany) not my complaints at all just the most regular targets for these complaints I see.

Re: HBO: Game of Thrones (Song of Ice and Fire)
Yeah, especially because the woods witch of high heart has predicted so much in the entire series, it’s weird of Martin to say that while making them come true in his world. Maybe the prince that was promised was the one she got wrong thoughAnders wrote:It’s actually cool if prophecies don’t come true.

Re: HBO: Game of Thrones (Song of Ice and Fire)
Of course not. It seems like the main thing that has people upset (and I'm not talking about anyone here on RM) is that the White Walkers aren't the "big bad."Monkey_Driven wrote:I wonder if people would be so upset if the Battle of Winterfell was the penultimate episode of the series versus the fourth to last.

Re: HBO: Game of Thrones (Song of Ice and Fire)
My own personal speculation is that now that there is no longer a threat from the Lands of Always Winter that there is no need for the Wall. It will not be rebuilt until there is a new and equal threat. Right now, The Wall has no point, and it undercuts so much of the progress the show has made in uniting tribes.doone wrote:You guys love to speculate, any guesses as the the future of the Wall? Will they need it?Can they rebuild it?

I'm clearly insane. I see this thing so differently than others. But whatever. Live and let live. I'm just glad I was alive in this era to see the show and speculate and react with cool people about it in a forum that was unimaginable once upon a time.

Re: HBO: Game of Thrones (Song of Ice and Fire)
So did anyone notice the ice dragon is guarding the entrance to the godswood and when Jon is trying to get past it, he’s actually spotted Arya and in the next shot when he stands up to face it, he shouts Gooooo! To distract the dragon And 10 seconds later the white walker general feels that breeze as she runs past him to kill the night king.
I didn’t notice it either but apparently it’s a thing.

Re: HBO: Game of Thrones (Song of Ice and Fire)
I always felt like the show did a great job of making her a person, especially when compared to the books. And I haven't seen a drop off in recent seasons. To me Lena has played her perfectly and all that's there has been earned. But, you know, I have terrible opinions.Monkey_Driven wrote:I don't really have time to respond in full to this, but I feel like she is just completely evil at this point, with little to no piece of humanity.durdencommatyler wrote:Not sure I share that sentiment.

Also, I think Lena does a great job and has the whole series. This is more of a beef with the writing of the character.
