My guesses: Bran and Sam (and his wife and kid) are 100% going to die, because if there is one constant to the arc of the GoT universe, it's putting Jon Snow in incredibly lovely situations. They both have their arcs complete, and also are the only people who can prove Jon is a Targaryen heir. 50/50 on Dany leaving Jon to die during the battle or putting a knife in his back directly, but he'll survive because the universe isn't done really loving his life up yet and fracturing their coalition makes sense. Brienne or Pod, Missandei or Greyworm, flip a coin for each. Jamie will live, because he still has a reckoning with Cersei to attend to. Tormund has been skating for too long, probably going to bite it unsuccessfully trying to save Brienne. Theon and everyone in the crypt are going to die. Don't know about Ser Davos. Hope Clegane lives.

What role does he have left to play in moving the plot forward? He's already divulged his big revelations and made his peace with Jamie. Plus, "What makes you think there's an 'after'?"

Sarah posted:I don’t think she’ll kill Jon. I’ve been doing a total rewatch and she just said in an episode I watched that was in Qarth that she isn’t going to have human children. Her dragons will be her only children. Yeah, but I don't think she gives a poo poo about her genetic legacy: her entire motivation from Day 1 has been reclaiming the Iron Throne, and she's shown she's willing to be utterly ruthless to get it. She's not going to let another man snatch away her prize at the last minute. As long as Jon lives, he's a threat to her. Nostalgia4Dogges posted:Ya same I thought the battle of winterfell and subsequent deaths would be the last episode My bet for the final scene: After a huge battle, Ciersi and Jamie are the only two left alive. He kills her and his unborn child to stop whatever madness she has planned, and collapses on to the Iron Throne, totally broken and alone, as snow begins to fall through the wrecked roof of the Great Hall.

Been a weird week, where more Avengers perma-died than main characters on Game of Thrones. LMAO about Jon Snow having built a series spanning arc around fighting the encroaching threat of the Night King, sending Sam to learn whatever he could about them, killing a White Walker in combat, building a coalition at great personal cost, giving up his crown to secure an alliance with Dany, fighting at Hardhome and north of the wall, and then having his little sister gank his kill at the final second. I also liked the Night King just straight no-selling dragon fire.

To be fair, it's clear that Jon doesn't want any of this or to be in charge of anything, and that with each passing hour he regrets not staying north of the wall, building a small hut, and banging Ygritte until he died of preventable disease or White Walker. https://mobile.twitter.com/Popehat/status/1122731651069403136 Dead Reckoning fucked around with this message at 06:26 on May 1, 2019 |

After thinking on it, I'm really disappointed by the producers' post show bit where they say that they thought they had to give Lyanna Mormont a worthwhile, deserving death. The thing that I really liked about the early seasons of the show, what made it good and suspenseful, was that who lived or died, and how they died, wasn't tied to audience expectations, or fan favoritism, or whether they deserved it. You can write a great show about the wicked being unpunished, I submit Breaking Bad as an example. Should have had her get swept aside by the giant, then come back briefly as a wight.

I meant more that the Night King hasn't been in a hurry to anything the entire series, so IDK why someone would think he'd be quick about killing Bran.

They can't kill everyone, but who among Yara, Varys, Davos, Brienne, Pod, Sam, Gilly, Tormund, Missandei and Greyworm has an unresolved plot arc that would prevent them from bringing the show to a satisfactory conclusion if they had died unceremoniously? And those are just the people who don't have to make it to the final two episodes. Hell, thinning down their ranks would have made for less ground to cover in the rest of the season. All of the above the line characters are on the table for the finale and show prior, and they only have like 3 episodes left.

The only people who are going to get a happy ending are Tormund, who hosed off after holding up his end of the bargain rather than try to grab more, and Podrick, who is content to live out the rest of his natural years cutting a swath through the ladies of the north.

What the gently caress is this show I'm watching? This episode wasn't 100% terrible, but it would have been amazing as the first episode of the season, instead of the second to last. "Gold shall be their crowns and gold their shrouds, she said. And when your tears have drowned you, the holocaust bloopers posted:Hound’s last scene with Arya probably put her on course to reconsider Gendry’s marriage proposal. S7E01: While wearing Walder Frey's face like Hannibal Lecter, Arya poisons Walder Frey's entire household. S8E05: Arya realizes revenge is bloody business and maybe she's not cut out for it.  WTF Arya, you're way too late to get cold feet. WTF Jamie, why did you bother with that redemption arc? bengy81 posted:the Varys thing bugged me because why the gently caress would he have been so sloppy at this point Bored As gently caress posted:Lol @ Rhaegal getting ganked in a minute by 10 scorpions, and Drogon not getting hit a single time by about 200 ships or 100 scorpions on the walls.

Jon Snow could have been totally in the clear. All he had to say was, "I dunno, she started ranting about the wheel and kings and thrones, then she jumped on Drogon, melted the throne, and flew off. Yeah, just like Mireen." What is the lesson supposed to be here? None of the noble houses have been broken up, most of the same power structures from before the war remain in place, but it's OK because they put a computer in charge?

John Wick 3: -This concept is going to run out of steam eventually, but not this time. It isn't as fresh as the first one was. However, the filmmakers' commitment to staging the craziest, most ridiculous, most brutal fight scenes they can and embracing the absurdity of the world they created carries it. Hallway of throwing knives. -Laurence Fishburn chews every bit of scenery in sight and I love it. -Ser Bronn is now master of coin in two realms. -Keanu Reeves' scenes with Halle Berry and Lance Reddick show just how much more work he put in training for this role than anyone else. His movements are visibly smoother and more confident. -I normally don't like winking references to other movies, but I smiled at the nods to "The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly" and "Game of Death".
