HBO President:
quote:

“I know in Game of Thrones, the ending, they’re going to shoot multiple versions so that nobody really knows what happens. You have to do that on a long show. Because when you’re shooting something, people know. So they’re going to shoot multiple versions so that there’s no real definitive answer until the end.”

The leak is not from cast or crew is it?

It's Tyrion's game of Where's Myrcella going? to sniff out who's leaking.

This is all you need to see to understand the kind of impact GoT has had on society .


Filming multiple endings sounds like great Blu-Ray material

I can guarantee you that they're probably using 4 endings we came up with in the Crackpot thread 3 years ago.

While it's possible they do this I am not sure the logistics of it.


I mean the "ending" isn't going to be a 15 minute tie all ends. The "ending" is basically all of season 8.

Lost did this for the season 4 finale. They filmed Locke, Sawyer, and Desmond individually dead in the casket to combat the leaks. I think the scenes were included on the dvd release.

So it's feasible if there is a major reveal in a single scene, but I don't see how you do this for an entire "ending". Unless they're planning some cheesy final shot of someone sitting on the Iron throne.

I hope it's like the end of the movie Clue where they show every ending back to back but tell you which was the "real" ending.


Actually if you haven't seen it Clue is definitely worth checking out. They actually released different endings in different cities, so people would argue about who actually was the murderer

If I had to take a guess the direction they're going:

1) Jon sits on the Iron Throne, Dany killed by the Night King.
2) Dany sits on the Iron Throne, Jon killed by the Night King.
3) Both Dany and Jon survive, rule Westeros together.
4) Westeros becomes some sort of democracy with Cersei destroying the Iron Throne with the slight variation of one of the first 3.

There's not to many avenues they can take from this point, unless they decide to troll the fans and let the Night King win.

Yeah, this is what crossed my mind. The only thing I think is going to be shot different are Dany and Jon's roles in the finale.

People may laugh but I swear GoT is pulling the NK arc straight from the story of Arthas and the Frozen Throne.

There must always be a Nights King!!!!

Let's Class Action their asses for royalties.

ETA: Jon solemnly climbs the steps to the Iron Throne, but before he sits, he is swept up into a time loop and finds himself tutoring Bran in archery with Robb in Winterfell.
...because he forgot the frigging Horn of Joramun.

5. Dany has Jon's baby. Both Dany and Jon are killed and the kid becomes ruler of Westeros with help of Tyrion and some of the other survivors.

1) White Walkers surround them and there is no hope so Jon kills Dany, Bran, Sansa, and Arya to save them the torment of being turned into wights. 30 seconds later Sweet Robin comes in with an army wielding dragonglass to save them all. Jon is on his knees crying. (Credits Roll)

2) Jon really died at the wall, has been dead this whole time. He is sitting on the throne when the realization hits him. (Credits Roll)

3) Jon and Dany sit side by side on the thrones. Zoom out to see all of Westeros. Zoom out further and it is the eyeball of a child. Zoom out and it's an autistic kid who is playing dungeons and dragons and gets called down stairs for dinner by his mom. (Credits Roll)

4) Jon challenges Night king to a surf contest. Jon wins and is named King of the Beach. They have a luau and look out at the sunset. (Credits Roll)
