Game of Thrones Season 7 Discussion [SPOILERS WITHIN]

[Aroura]

That theory is so canon I just can't.

FIFY

I've never heard that one before, wow! Lol

This must be why the show has ceased to surprise me. I've already seen every possible outcome in the form of fan theories! Honestly. In the time since the first book was released, we've all had too much time to guess everything.

Honestly though, i was dealing with the breakneck pace and the apparent teleporting around in the show without getting too bent, until episode 6. Jon and company are looking for a whitewalker past the wall, get in trouble, and send the blacksmith running back for help. Alrighty. So then he gets back to the wall, and sends a raven to Danny at Dragonstone. The raven arrives, and Dany flies to dragonstone all in less than the time it took for the ice to freeze back over, and the party not to freeze to death or die of thirst. Less than 48 hours, then. Wtf, just no.
The zombie ice dragon added to team walkers is a nice touch, but other than that everything felt like watching someone connect some very obvious dots. Not a big fan of ep 6.

Episode 7 was slightly redeeming, for a lot of characters and the show itself. The lone wolf speech at the end was a nice touch, referring I think to Cercei choosing to go it alone, while the rest band together.
It was nice to see the master plotter finally go down. Love Arya looking so unconcerned doing it. I will not miss Littlefingers creepy soft raspy voice, or his annoying smirk.
Theons plotline still felt silly and predictable and forced, but the rest was pretty good. I thought the dragon was breathing blue fire, btw, didn't cross my mind that it might make no sense. Did Tormond and Dondarion survived the collapsing wall? I couldn't tell.

Will the heroes all complete their redemtion arcs and save humanity from the zomb...I mean white walkers? Will it turn out that Game of Thrones/ASoIaF isn't actually different, and that the only quirk was they made secondary characters appear important for a few seasons/books before killing them off and giving us our true main characters? Otherwise typical predictable fantasy, albeit with great characters? Will we lose one or two of these in the final battle as token death sacrufices, but otherwise have a fairly happy ending?
Guess we have to wait a year to find out. My guess is yes to all of the above.

P.s. Blaming the show creators for this predictable and probable happily ever after outcome is silly. Martin may have written it slightly darker along the way, but if the end is that Jon and Danny get together and make more Targaryon princes, then that is ultimately the same end Martin was aiming at. After all, in the BOOKS, Danny has an apparent miscarriage at the end of 5. She can get preggers already. Nothing to do with Jon or magic sperm. All the dominos are set up already for this outcome in the books. How else can the end it? The zombies win? All the main characters die fighting the zombies, or each other, and so knowing all their histories and stories and if Jon is a Targaryon or how Bran became the 3 eyed raven become utterly pointless, and Gendry is forced to ascend the throne as the last surviving heir to a recent ruler? Or maybe even he dies, and the show ends with the 7 kingdoms locked in an ongoing civil war?

No, none of those would be satisying either. Imho, this show cannot end in a satisfying way. It will either be predictably happy, or stupidly pointless, ala Lost. Martin wrote himself into a corner, with characters and prophocies. Some other folks are working to fix that as best they can, and if they manage in the slightest, I hope I'm aware enough to be grateful that someone even tried, instead of abandoning it half way.....

Who knows, maybe they will still find a way to surprise us, and give us a creative and satisying ending. I wish them the very best in doing so.
