How can anyone think Bran will be king, there's literally 0% chance of that happening lol. Not sure why people are so opposed to seeing what's right in front of them. Bran doesn't even consider himself human anymore and you think he'd agree to ruling mankind... what kind of nonsense thought process is that lol


Thats the current betting odds. They say bran is the favorite. I dont understand either but someone must have some inside infos on what happens to place him as the favorite

People are weird man.... I'm still trying to figure out how the entirety of the online community has concluded that Avengers Endgame is the most amazing and complete movie ever, while GoT is trash and people are comparing this season to the last season of fucking Lost. I'm not saying it's perfect, far from it, but I feel like the entire world has gone fucking crazy.


I know many people that haven't even watched GoT, so your point about "the whole World etc" is overkill, now the people responding in this thread on this site... yup... perfect. Anyway... Lost fucking lost me completely... shit I didn't even bother watching the rest of it, as for this program... I guess only 1 episode left and all done... I can die happy to complete it even though this season sucked in comparison to previous seasons... way less impact as they implied... shit, season 1 ending is still in my mind, Joffreys' poisoning and Feast that murdered the Starks and whats' his name having his Dick cut off are still imprinted in my mind compared to what happened this season... nothing spectacular to remember... who really cares who sits on the throne now... it is ugly as fuck and should just be put in the storage cellar or crypt.

Actually... would be good if they ended up taking that throne and turning it into a Monument with a tablet of those failures who sat there.

Will remember for next week. :hug:


Lol, go ahead. Do you just believe everything you read on the internet? Seriously, what makes you possibly think he would sit before

Jon
Danny
Sansa
Tyrion
Davos
or literally any other main character?

It makes noooooooo sense to think he'll end up there.

Hyperbole is a strange concept for some.

As I've pointed out too many times to count, this is the climax. Many of the other truly phenomenal moments throughout this show have been so because they caught us off guard. Martin seemingly did away with plot armor for much of his story and it made his readers and watchers second guess everything and we've become overly analytical because of how this and because of his hints throughout the series of a deeper meaning to certain things. The problem is that it sets up unrealistic expectations (clearly based off the complaints) for the climax. It's impossible to close this out and continue catching us off guard, there's no time for another hero if the current ones get their heads chopped off, or for another major villain to appear. We had 6 beautiful seasons of expansive plot and it was glorious, but all good things most come to an end.

I've also stated multiple times that there are some things that have irritated me, or things that I believe they could have done better. That being said, they've done an excellent job of giving as a truly tense and amazing spectacle, even if they haven't always used the exact military strategies all the internet experts would have lol.

Nah, I still don't buy this at all. Its about outcome. Who's more evil, Hitler or Jeffrey Dahmer? Stalin or John Wayne Gacy? Those should have some pretty obvious answers. Its unpalatable, but after this episode, its the same with Daenerys vs Cersei.


Perception is key.

In a time and place where cannibalism is a way of life, is it Evil to them, or is it Evil because you were bought up to believe that cannibalism is Evil?
Take a sparrow, it still eats the flesh of its own kind, it doesn't know any better.

Hitler did atrocious acts over YEARS, not in one instance because of rage, he hated Jews and tested on them for years... I don't know who or what the others you mentioned done... if they did acts of killing for their own beliefs that contradict the beliefs of us so called righteous people... then they are perceived as evil... again... perception is key, your perception is yours (prerogative) as is my perception... Queen Lannister is and has done MORE Evil acts in comparison to Daenerys. Unwritten wars killing mass amount of people were waged just over the killing of one person... tribes and nations wiped out, were they evil in their action? Early American settlers and soldiers wiped out many native tribes to the point that there isn't any bloodline of them, just remnants... are they evil for wiping them out? Again... perception, even the English are known for their atrocities in Canada, Australia and other countries like India and so forth... are they Evil, their acts were. Again... perception.

You are right... there isn't much of anything left to surprise us... maybe Cersei will rise from the rubble as the Undead Queen... or her unborn child... even now... here I am theorycrafting the next major turning point... or the unborn child is kept alive by the Fire God or something like that.

Yup... one(1) episode left... woot.

I don't like that outcome (Bran as king). It's just what my gut is telling me.

You can argue like a child all you want. Straw man arguments left and right. Act like a pompous ass - like some self appointed expert on this shit and it's funny as hell. You aren't fooling people.

I'm betting it's Bran as king. I wouldn't be surprised if there is some type of "counsel" that Bran oversees or whatever.

Jon is going to kill Dany and exile himself or be exiled.
Sansa's arc is done in Wintefell where she'll be the lady of the north.
Arya isn't going to sit on the throne - she'll go off in the wilderness.
Tyrion might die for his betrayl of Dany - he's going to go on trial for sure.
Davos? Lmao
What other main character is left? Maybe they'll find the long lost Tully they forgot about to rule. Maybe the tit sucker Arryn?

We'll see a week from now. I'm going to come to have a good time with you if i'm right. Might want to skip JSP that day.

Naw, you’re reeeally reaching to give Daenerys any redeeming qualities at all at this point. Like it or not, shes a genocidal maniac now.

If you're talking about the betting odds someone posted, that's probably just a result of his Vegas adjusts odds rather than because people actually think he will.

Like he starts at 1000:1 and people go "might as well put 10 down cuz if he does then jackpot and who cares about 10" then that happens a few thousand times and the odds get readjusted.

True. However, there are a few missing holes in the leaks so I still have hope that D&D managed to hide one twist that reframes the scenes we do know about.

When Empire Strikes Back hit theaters, only 5 human beings knew that Vader was Luke's father. Lucas took great lengths to secure the secret. It doesn't seem impossible for D&D to have some epilogue/narrated bit that puts the ending scenes they filmed in a different perspective.
