HBO: Game of Thrones (Song of Ice and Fire)

[Simple Torture]

I have this pet theory (and sort of wish) that one of the two major storylines will resolve this season rather than both of them resolving next season. I.e., we get a final decision on who will rule the 7 Kingdoms (or even if there will be 7 Kingdoms) and then next year we take care of the White Walkers, or vice versa.

If we accept that it is between them, Dany doesn't think she will get more kids, so who would come after her?

So

Spoiler: show

is the white walker kind guy gonna kill one of the dragons and turn him into a flying zombie and come to kings landing to fight its brothers for the big finale?

Yes

[epilogue]

Separately, I'm gonna set the over/under on number of times we hear "winter is hear" this season at 16.

Is winter louder now for some reason?

Yes

ruddo's right, that's the working theory for a lot of people. However, two other things:

Spoiler: show

1. There are legendary creatures known as "ice dragons" that come up a few times in the books; never confirmed that they exist, but no one thought the White Walkers existed, either--so maybe they already have one?

2. There's also a slightly more out-there theory that there's an ancient dragon living under Winterfell, and the Walkers could pick that up on the way down.

Don't think I've ever heard of an ancient dragon under Winterfell before. That's sick.

Yeah, something about the hot springs at Winterfell being from the heat of a hibernating dragon. Pretty far-flung.

I feel like the whole White Walker thing is a red herring. Or that the real climax won't be about them. Something just doesn't add up.

For a while it looked like they were setting up a deeper exploration, like we were going to find out that they're not just ice zombies. But I don't know if there's time left.

I can't wait for this show to end in an unsatisfying way and everyone to bitch about how it wasn't worth their time.

chud when that happens:

[dimejinky99]

A dragon sleeping under or near winterfell doesn't really make sense it would be really cheap and we'd have some sort of talk about it from the starks or in the story itself. Not buying that.

Sounds like you haven't met chud.

Wait, wasn't Skitch saying that person in the picture was taller?

Yes.

Well I'm answering based on the books, not the picture, so.
