Well, that seems like a done deal, since he leaves Cersei disgusted to ride North after she told him that she won't send troops to fight the Others next episode.

Yeah, what the hell? Did Arya leave her uncle there to die alone in his cell?? Also technically wouldn't he rule the Frey lands now if all the other actual-Frey males were killed off?

We don't know if he was there - the Lannisters might have carted him off to some other dungeon.

Putting Edmure back in charge of the Riverlands should have been the focus of Arya/Sansa. Working together, learning each others strengths and weaknesses, building up Team Stark. Sansa talks to people all diplomatically and stuff, Arya murders those who say wrong things back, Bran gives crucial intel about who's loving who. It would be cathartic and set up the final season when the NK storms Winterfell and yanks it all away again. Instead we have weirdness and hostility because they needed something for them to do and a contrived conflict was the best they could come up with..

Yeah, the mask they came up with suited her well. Just a shame all her scenes were with Jorah, and she never spouted prophecy at Dany-- let alone spoke to her.

I know this one. Edmure in the show is in the dungions at riverrun, which was controlled by the Lannister's and Walder Frey's two eldest sons. With them being murdered to death Riverrun will be under Lannister control. I would guess it will be a factor as some sort of Lannister garrison in the future if they remember it's existence. :101:

This Golden Company must be some poo poo to go from Cersei talking about suing for peace to sacking Dragonstone.

I know, you know, and everyone knows deep down in their idealistic little hearts that everything in that Season 8 plot leak is going to loving happen. And there is nothing that can be done about it.

I agree with this.

At least with Joffrey, Ramsey, Cersei and whoever else there was actual screen time and some reasons to really dislike them.

Euron really hasn't shown up enough, even this season, for me to form any real opinion of him at all.

This is the first I'm seeing this since I'm not going to read a summary of something that might not be fake. But this sounds really good. That's pretty much everyone I like. Jon and Dany should have died a long time ago and the story would have been better for it. I mean, Jon did die, but he should have stayed dead. The two least interesting characters. The two worst actors.

Euron is a character on game of thrones and he has a lot of boats. He also wears fancy glam outfits and is a very bad man.

That's literally all I know about Euron.

That's enough for me to know that I love him and want him to be the big bad of the final season. Ice monsters are too stupid and it's dragging the show down. The Others are to GoT as Eggs was to True Blood.

The leaks are more believable because they don't describe the Night King's death, not less.

A writer's outline is intentionally vague. They left the Night King's death unspoken because they aren't entirely certain how it'll pan out yet. A fanfic writer would've been detailed.

Same goes for Howland Reed. A fanfic writer wouldn't have made that mistake. The loose ends make it believable.

In It For The Tank

But I've yet to figure out a better way to spend my time.
Not to suggest the leaks are true, but Euron being the final human adversary makes more sense if you consider him as a book character introduced in Book 4 of 7 (and, technically, chronologically during the events of Book 3) rather than the television character introduced in Season 6 of 8 (really 7.5). I think it is completely within the realm of possibility that D&D got GRRM's bulletpoints for the endgame of ASOIAF and said "well, it says Euron is final baddie so he's the final baddie", regardless of the discrepancy between the two characters in book and show form.

There's no story
I doubt GRRM has communicated anything that concrete to them about the final book. Nobody is invested in Euron and having him be so central to the final conflict reminds me of the finale of breaking bad, which had a similar tertiary character somehow promoted to main villain and the whole thing was impotent as a result.
