Jews fleeing the Holocaust are not in any way comparable to North Africans, who don't flee genocide but want to enjoy the social welfare systems of Northern Europe.

Wrong though. The NK marched on Bran's treehouse which we have no idea where it is.

It's going to be cheesy as gently caress when the final battle looks to be lost and wights are overrunning everyone and Jon is about to die to the NK but kills him and all the zombies instantly shut down.

Dany gets pregnant with Jon's child

The Night King destroys Winterfell, kills Rhaegal and Bran and Meera and Gray Worm and Pod and a bunch of other people, survivors retreat south of the Neck

Daenerys dies in childbirth giving birth to daughter, her corpse is taken back to King's Landing by mercenaries who also kill Varys while Sam smuggles out the baby

Jaqen H'ghar shows up, gives Arya a vial of poison and tells her to murder Cersei

Arya, the Hound, and Nymeria travel south to King's Landing. Arya takes Qyburn's face, poisons Cersei, the Hound + Nymeria finish off the Mountain, Arya slits Cersei's throat, Euron becomes King of the Seven Kingdoms (final boss)

Dany's corpse gets brought back to King's Landing, mutilated, displayed, and pelted with feces

Jaime makes love to Brienne, then Brienne dies and commands Jaime to protect Arya and Sansa with her dying breath

The Night King is finally killed at the Eyrie (I think)

Jaime, Tyrion, Devos, Edmure, Gendry, et al. proclaim Jon the rightful king, he rides Drogon and leads the army south to overthrow Euron, who is the big bad

Jon fights Euron, then Jaime stabs Euron in the back (kingslayer), then Drogon breathes fire and accidentally ignites a pocket of wildfire underground and everybody gets blown the gently caress up and killed

Sansa marries Gendry and becomes Lady of the North and the Vale, Edmure is Lord of the Riverlands, Gendry is Lord of the Stormlands, Yara gets Pike, Sam becomes Lord of the Reach

Arya goes back to Essos because 'valar morghulis' while Tyrion becomes Hand of the Queen to Jon + Dany's baby, Lyanna Targaryen, plus he screws Missandei on the side

Bran becomes the new Night King

Technically from Hardhome the walkers went to the heart of winter, and from there to the cave of the children of the forest, and then back to somewhere around hardhome\eastwatch.

It's better for everyone to accept that those leaks are real cause:

a) If they turn out to be real, you have more time to mourn and accept them

b) If they are fake, there is hardly very few things they can actually end up doing that could be worse than those leaks

So it's a win-win scenario

Agreed on the S8 E1-E4 spoilers. Not so much for E5 and E6.

I get that GRRM said "bittersweet ending" but killing off every character in dumb ways is less bittersweet and more reality ensues/dropped a bridge on them

For example, Arya realising she can no longer return to her old life and shipping off to Essos is bittersweet. She has gone through so much poo poo she has become paranoid and can no longer trust or connect to people. In a way this could savage her stupid behaviour during this season.

Jaime, Jorah, the Hound and Jon dieing in an explosion because they Didn't Train Their Dragon is dumb. Have Jon die. Maybe Jaime too. But has the Hound's or Jorah's character really been building up to dieing as collateral? If anything why not have both the Hound and the Mountain mutually kill each other on the previous episode?

I know they are perhaps trying to recreate that old GRRM feeling of "oooOOooOoh anyone can die", but none of GRRM's shocking deaths were a case of "an explosion just killed everyone" and more a result of "the sequence of actions and decisions this particular character took lead him to this situation where he ended up dieing".

A character doesn't have to die in order to have a bittersweet ending, killing them off is just the lazy way out when you can't think anything better.

them having cities is a fan theory (albeit one that makes sense)

they definitely talk, think and otherwise interact in recognizable fashion, though

the ones that kill the Night's Watchmen in the prologue are clearly taunting and loving around with them, for instance

Yeah I remember reading that Gurm wanted them to not just be mindless killing machines, which they are in the show. What is their goal. Just kill everyone for the fun of it? They already killed the last wood fairys.

Also it used to be a hot debate (:v:) if Dany was immune to fire, but this whole time she has also been immune to cold and nobody noticed. She was flying around Antarctica at 60mph with just a dress on.
