I like Daenerys but I’m hoping for Jon Snow to get his happy ever after, and Arya too :)

They ditched him in Meereen and basically told him he was in charge Grin

@LaurieMarlow

Page 14, you posted about how the trailer put a different spin on things, not sure if I’ve missed something or am being dippy, but could you explain a bit more?

For what it’s worth, not fussed about Arya, she’s interesting but for me she’s one of those ‘journey rather than destination’ characters so I’m not bothered if they kill her off. Ditto Jaime. Though I love Brienne, and can see why people would want them together. But I’m #TeamTormund. If Arya survives I want her to marry Gendry because I think she would choose him rather than be married to anyone else.

I love Tyrion and Sansa, and would love to see them make a marriage based on mutual warmth and respect. Possibly regents to Jon and Dany’s baby ( though I reckon she’s not pregnant anyway, too obvious.)

Jon and Dany I can’t see both living. For no other reason than for me the whole show has been their stories to find their true identities after living in shadows. I can’t see them both living, but I could see them both dying. Everyone else has been the (albeit amazingly well developed) supporting cast in their journeys. That said I’m not a massive fan of either of them. I definitely want Tyrion on the throne.

BURY ME FOR I AM DEADED

BartonHollow · 05/03/2019 16:31

Can I just say as well how much I love that the world is burning and Cersei is just sitting there smirking and drinking wine 😂

AngeloMysterioso · 05/03/2019 16:52

Did I spy Gendry in there? At 57 seconds?

BartonHollow · 05/03/2019 17:01

Gendry is in it twice

Once forging swords and once standing by Brienne waiting to fight outside Winterfell

BartonHollow · 05/03/2019 18:32

Actually it's not Gendry next to Brienne it's POD 😍

Starch · 05/03/2019 18:43

Did I see Tormund?!

BartonHollow · 05/03/2019 18:46

You did!

With pals Bezza and Edd

Starch · 05/03/2019 18:49

Yes!!

I think Jon or Daenerys surviving and getting the iron throne is too much of a cliche for JRRM. But for them to not get it means they'd both have to die. If she's pregnant though then what happens to the kid.

Tyrion and Sansa (if T is a targarean) is a good theory.

Definitely hope Arya and Bran get popped off, both irritating and boring characters, I get that bran is a crucial part of the story but both their story arcs bore me, in both the books and the series.

Jaime and Cersei, one will end up killing the other, my monet is on Jaime killing Cersei (King slayer and all that).

Think Brienne may end up killing Jaime or a big plot twist like that.

Think the hound will kill the mountain as that's good telly, but maybe the hound will die too.

I've got to say... I think they have got a lot to wrap up in one series, I'm not sure how they'll do it.

I can't wait but honestly I will be gutted when it ends.

BartonHollow · 05/03/2019 19:16

People keep talking about Bran as if he is that character

Bran is dead effectively, and his corpse is just Animated by the 3 Eyed Raven

It wouldn't surprise me if

  1. He dies quite early on Ep 1 or 2
  1. Or simply just wargs into a raven and fucks off
crispysausagerolls · 05/03/2019 19:20

I love you BartonHollow

NoParticularPattern · 05/03/2019 19:29

What I want to know is this: they all know what the walkers can do, they all know that they re-animate corpses or whatever the GoT term is, how in hell did no one see the dragon situation coming? Or did they and it’s somehow some clever plot twist?

Either that or GRRM is 100% batshit and is just going to kill the lot of them and let the walkers takeover.

BartonHollow · 05/03/2019 20:29

Grin crispy

OneInAMillionYou · 05/03/2019 20:49

Barton, you don't want burying, we have to burn you! 😀🔥🔥

OneInAMillionYou · 05/03/2019 20:52

I have the maddest theory.

I've never seen Arya look so petrified but also CONFLICTED as she does in those first frames. Maybe Ned Stark has come back as a White Walker??!!

He wasn't burned, was he? His bones were returned to Catelyn by Littlefinger. Or maybe it's Robb?
I just have a feeling that someone we love, killed in earlier seasons, is going to come back on the army of the dead.

I could talk about this trailer all night, and between here, Twitter, Instagram and real live people in my house, I think I am probably going to!

BartonHollow · 05/03/2019 20:55

It's not that mad a theory really @OneInAMillionYou they have made a point of referencing their crypts in previous promotion

Everyone will lose their god damn minds if we get Zombie Sean Bean

OneInAMillionYou · 05/03/2019 21:08

Can you imagine? The Internet will well and truly explode.

Sky have some great 'background' shorts along with the episodes all packaged neatly together. I am really enjoying listening to the show runners explain their approach and the love they pour into the work.

NorthernLurker · 05/03/2019 21:12

Hmm I think the old gods which are resident in winterfell in thegodswood will prevent any tampering with the crypt. I suspect dany and Jon will make it to the end exactly because nobody expects that to happen.

BartonHollow · 05/03/2019 21:14

Aren't the old gods linked to the White Walkers anyway?

Own goal

PreseaCombatir · 05/03/2019 21:31

Fuck. My. Life.
For April anyway. Coz people are not seeing me for shit. 😂😂

How pathetic am I? I watched the trailer and now I feel jittery and have butterflies!! I cannot wait!

BartonHollow · 05/03/2019 21:35

I am literally planning 2am Monday's for a month!

I still have a life to get on with and will be ABSOLUTELY FUCKED it'll be worth it though it is the end

Planning on starting/being part of Nights Watch threads, are you with me @PreseaCombatir ?!

PreseaCombatir · 05/03/2019 21:37

I might have to Barton!
I don’t know how I’ll be fuctioning, but I’ll give it a good go 😂

Myusernameismud · 05/03/2019 21:48

Ahh so glad to have a GoT thread, hi guys!

DH and I made our season 8 predictions just after Christmas, and screenshotted them so theres no changing them as new trailers are released.
