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.

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

The music was phenomenal throughout the episode.

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

It’s actually cool if prophecies don’t come true. But this one is already so far along.

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

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.

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 though

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."

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.

That's so funny. It's probably my least favorite thing about the ep. :lol:

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.

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.

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.

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.

Just a gentle tease.

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.
