Now, I get that it is called Game of Thrones
only because it was the title of the first book and it sounded cool. Doesnt me it is end all be all. I mean does Cougartown explain that show. Is Endgame, the end of all marvel movies?

Why would the final two books be title WoW and ADoS?





Because the Winds of Winter would deal with the Night King and A Dream Of Spring would deal with after the Night King is dealt with?

Kinda like this season seems to be going.

Anyone else had the comedic thought of, while he lay dying in Dany's arms, Jorah going: "come on...I'm dying for you...will you just touch it once?" as he points at his codpiece.

because they probably fight the NK a lot in the books



I mean he's technically just the Others leader in the books. The Night's King was a Lord Commander of the Night's Watch.

GRRM tried to pawn off that the NK is just a title earned by the leader.

ADoS I am willing to bet is more of an epilogue. Or hell maybe I'm wrong and there's more story to tell.

Well, I don't know what to tell you. Anyone that thought the Night King would be the epic end battle, a Fantasy cliche, doesn't understand Martin at all.

Kinda, yeah. It was largely about horny older women.

No, but it was the end game to the current Marvel storyline(s) and the wrap up to Infinity War.

Which is why I think they are going to kill her off. It makes a lot of sense. Getting everyone on the Arya train, giving her this much "power" and then shocking everyone by killing her



Well that would be fricking dumb. She could've died from mortal wounds when the Night King jammed a thumb through her wind pipe before she killed him.

The more I think about WWs and the NK being around for 10000 years and no rangers or free folk finding them or letting everybody know that its out there is bothering me. And why need a 3ER raven when you have oldtown and no body knows about the 3ER and what he knows anyway. Who cares if Bran dies? The past 3ER weren't writing anything down.

Now that it is over, the focus will be Cersei.




Oh. OK. Arya goes and stabs her in the neck while she sleeps. End of Cersei problem. She can just run past and jump over anyone who gets in her way.

Or Jon and Dany just ride over and burn KLs to the ground.

There are plenty of ways to deal with Cersei.

Nah...we all know George likes to give long descriptions of the meals. So, 800 pages of food, 200 pages of House updates.

I hear ya. Just curious, what major character did you WANT to die?

I think everybody wanted Arya, Sansa, and dany to die



negative.

i hope all three of those make it to the end. After last night, their chances have improved because it seems to be leaning towards more of a happily ever after ending than it is death and destruction for the Starks/Targaryens. IMO

No one will ever know because this fat frick will never finish his books. He let HBO do that for him and he should be abused for it. Any writer with any self respect wouldn't let someone else finish their life's work.
