Things you hope DON'T happen in Game of Thrones season 8

All the main good guys survive and win.
One of the good guys gets turned into a White Walker BUT manages to retain some vestiges of their old personality after a massive internal struggle between good and evil, and then kills the Night King or enables him to be killed.

Both would be a huge cliche and not in the spirit of the show, imo.

I really hope littlefinger isn’t alive! I was overjoyed when he was finally put out his misery. I’ve done some investigating and it looks like he’s been filming another drama, so fingers crossed he’s definitely dead.

I also really don’t want Tyrion to die.

MsAdorabelleDearheartVonLipwig · 13/04/2019 23:27

Daenerys is going to be fucking livid if she finds out that Jon is the heir and not her. She’s such a thick twat, she’ll think he knew all along. She’ll try to kill him and they’ll end up killing each other and that’ll be the end of that line.

nocoolnamesleft · 13/04/2019 23:30

Jon already is dead. So can't see him getting a happy ever after. Also...can the dead engender life? Or is Daenerys due for a second horrific birth, of an undead baby?

Interested in this thread?

I don't want cercei to die. I'd like Arya to kick the bucket though. (I like baddies)

TheLionAndTheRose · 13/04/2019 23:34

I think Cersei might make a deal with the Night King, using her newborn baby as a pawn.

ChariotsofFish · 13/04/2019 23:38

It will be v irritating if it turns out that Jon being dead already means nothing. If there’s cleganebowl that ends in the Hound killing his brother by fire it will be tedious fan service that conflicts with the books. Jon and Dany ruling together happily is the dullest ending possible. I’ll be annoyed if the leak about Tyrion turns out to be true.

NigellasGuest · 13/04/2019 23:38

I think Daenerys will give birth to a giant dragon egg

iamH · 13/04/2019 23:41

What leak about Tyrion???

TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge · 13/04/2019 23:44

I just need Tyrion to survive. Well, and Jon, but Tyrion is just awesome!

I wish LF would come back. He's my guilty crush Blush

Mner2019 · 13/04/2019 23:46

Just rewatched the last two episodes of series 7. I am so excited! But also quite scared...

jackstini · 13/04/2019 23:54

DH wants Sansa to die ASAP - shit acting, he says

Def want Tyrion to survive

There will be some sort of massive dragon fight

Is Danny going to be pissed off she's just shagged her nephew?

Would like Sam to survive but not likely..?

Arya and the Hound will do some damage

Jon Snow and Bran I'm a bit meh about

TheABC · 14/04/2019 00:04

I want Sam to survive. He's about as normal as it gets for GoT. I would like Tyrion to survive purely because he will give a brilliant quip or summary at the end. I would also find it satisfying if a Stark manages to win through - mainly because they have so many crosshairs on their collective backs.

I am not hoping beyond that as the body count will be spectacular.

Things you hope DON'T happen in Game of Thrones season 8

The spawning of GoT Series 9

Makinitup · 14/04/2019 01:19

I think Emilia Clarke is fantastic and knowing she suffered TWO strokes whilst filming GOT has me even more in awe of her. She's incredible. I hope all the women survive, band together and change the whole world.

I don't want to see another dragon die, that had me pretty upset.

Makinitup · 14/04/2019 01:23

There is no shit acting in GOT, that's why it's the most watched show in the world. I really am suspicious of any man hating on Sansa as it seems to be a common theme among MRA's. For Sansa to have come through all that she has and be killed off would make me kinda stabby tbh. She is a force to be reckoned with. I DO NOT want Sansa to die.

PlasmaRain · 14/04/2019 01:42

I don’t want anyone but Jaime to kill Cersei. I know lots of others have just claims but I think it has to be Jaime.

I definitely don’t want a cliche happy ever after involving Jon Snow and Daenerys, hopefully one (Danaerys preferably) or both will die, it’s the only way to be true to the spirit of GOT. As in Ramsey Bolton’s line: “if you think this has a happy ending, you haven’t been paying attention.”

I think Sansa deserves a good outcome, either Queen in the North or Queen of Westeros and, in either case, married to Tyrion. If that doesn’t happen I’ll be disappointed.

OneInAMillionYou · 14/04/2019 04:53

Come and join us all on the Telly Addicts thread once you've watched the first episode!

For me, I want the Stark sisters to prevail. I don't mean that as ruling Westeros from the Iron Throne, but by being alive as long as possible and living happier lives to make up for the horrific shit they went through.

The purest thread of the show is the separation of the Starks and them coming back together.

Jon/Dany? Meh. She will not be happy when she discovers he is the heir to the Throne. I'm not invested in their romance.

Could not care less about Theon, Yara, Varys...

I think Ser Jorah will die early in the Battle for Winterfell in Ep 3. He is in the vanguard in all the trailers, with Brienne and Podrick.

I think Sam will survive to the very end, to be the storyteller..

Love this show.

PinkOboe · 14/04/2019 06:55

I don’t want Sansa to go bad. But I think she’s going to. Possibly she’ll take out Jon / Daenerys after going on a lady of winterfel power trip

sadeyedladyofthelowlands63 · 14/04/2019 09:53

I don't really care who dies as long as it's not Tyrion!

Valarmorghulisss · 14/04/2019 10:31

Changed my name in preparation

BertrandRussell · 14/04/2019 10:33

Am I unreasonable to hope for less sexual violence and soft porn?

OneInAMillionYou · 14/04/2019 10:48

Impressive name change there Valar

I will have to spend some time pondering a name change. You've inspired me....

CarolDanvers · 14/04/2019 11:11

Have you been watching Bertrand? The first two series did indeed have too much nudity and sexual violence but it has phased out and does not appear anymore, certainly not in the last two series.

TheQueef · 14/04/2019 11:13

My mini theory is Tyrion vs the mountain with Tyrion slaughter ing him.
The hound would be too cliche.

Gendry and Grey Worm on Sunday Brunch now, trying desperately not to give anything away Grin
