You think that's bad, there are parents that named their kids Khaleesi.

There was no night king in the books. In the books the equivalent of night king was euron

This is what makes his character on the show such a joke

His/Jaime confrontation in the last episode was stupid as well. No build up to that rivalry as they try to fit it into that one scene in which Euron, after abandoning ship, just happens to come ashore in the exact same place at the exact same time Jaime is looking for a passage. For the scene to have been more meaningful, time would need be spent on building that rivalry. Perhaps let Euron not be so stupid to miss the obvious clues that Cersei was already pregnant with Jaime's kid. Let Jaime find out he's about to marry his sister/lover and be King. Give them each cause to want the other one gone and pursue each other rather than randomly have them run into each other. Euron saying he killed Jaime Lannister made it even more pathetic as he died before he could possibly know if Jaime's wound let to his death, which it did not.

Parents do the dumbest things. "No, you cannot watch the last 2 episodes of the show your namesake was in. Now, go to your room, Khaleesi, and no tv for you!"

Not really true, there was a notion of The Night King in the books but he was spoken of by multiple characters as more mythology/legend.

He never appears in any actual content in the books other than being referred to by 3rd parties.

I imagined he would have appeared eventually in Winds of Winter, leading the army of the dead.

I have to say this show has done some incredible casting. I’m not sure if the actor for euron is any good but his story is absolute trash on the show. They turned him into a damn cartoon Disney character. The guy was like the equivalent to a demon in the books

Damn that was long, but some interesting stuff.

I've forgotten so much in the books.... people who only watch the shows really can't appreciate how wide a story GRRM wrote and how much the show had to condense it.

That kind of reads that Euron is being used by someone to go through all of that, which my guess would be the actual Night King if Martin were to begin referencing him.

Exactly which ties in with the theory that the wall will need to be rebuilt and manned like before. So it’s like the great other hatches his evil schemes through pawns. On the show it happens to be the nk.

But isn't there "magic" to the wall? I also don't know if they'd find the wall necessary due to the peace with the Wildings, unless they were to know for sure if a new NK was created.

The wall was never meant to keep out the wildlings. That’s what people thought as they forgot about the long night. My guess is bran is the one that can weave the magic back into the wall that the dragon destroyed. But this is all a guess there is nothing from the show or books about it other than a bran from the past built the wall.

I may have written that post wrong. I just mean to say that unless they have definitive proof of the NK and White Walkers, there's no real reason to build the wall - especially because of the peace they now have with the Wildings.

If bran was allowed more than 100 words per episode we might learn more lol

There is no NK in the books yet, you mean. That doesn't mean that a leader of the "others" will not happen in the books at all.

What I’m doing is based mostly on book where it seems euron is the nk. The great other uses pawns so in the shows the nk is just a pawn of an entity likely another seer more powerful. Rllor has his pawns like mellisandre. Bloodraven had bran. Many face god has faceless men etc. they don’t directly affect the got world but use pawns for their schemes

From the books all descriptions of his plans kind of mirrors nk read the Reddit above it’s pretty convincing

 

[remydat]

HBO basically gave them a blank check and told them to make as many episodes as they wanted and after 2 years, we are left with a truncated s

 

[ZOMBIE@CTESPN]

Too funny lol

 

[remydat]

You keep forgetting that she's a Targeryn and this is completely normal in their history. They just discussed this a couple of episodes before. Maybe not in Dany's prior character history but definitely in her Family history. I was not surprised at all by this; I expected something along these lines--especially after Tyrion's cry for peace early in the episode. I do wish the battle scenes made more sense though

I am not forgetting it at all. There are Targs that went crazy and Targs that didn't. Doesn't mean anything as it relates to Dany herself. The issue is in how well the story of their going crazy is told and this story was not well told.

 

[remydat]

Both. I read the reddit spoilers and spoiled it for myself but still do have a good amount of interest in the final episode. First, I wouldn't call them "so called spoilers" when they've nailed everything over the past 3 episodes. They are called spoilers cause they actually are. Even with those though there are some things left that could still go either way. I'll put that in spoiler tags for the benefit of others who don't need the time to mentally prepare for the shit ending coming. LMAO.

Spoiler

One is Tyrion's fate. The main spoiler that has nailed everything, has Tyrion serving on the council that votes Boring Bran in as King but most have been saying for the longest time that he will be put to death at his trial. So...be interesting to see if he lives or dies.

Also want to see how the aftermath plays out with Jon and Dany. Does he feign she's still his queen and then suddenly kill her having witnessed her madness or does he try to reason with her and make her see the evil in it all? She once told him not to judge her by the crimes of her father but now she has made daddy proud by, in fact, burning them all.

Other parts of the main spoiler just make no sense at all....but neither have D&D. Like, the part that says Jon will surrender after killing Dany and then be sentenced to take the black again and return to the Night Watch. Obvious problem being is there is no more Night's Watch and, indeed, no more NK. And who, that is left, would judge him negatively for such a thing? Are the Starks to pass this judgement on one of their own? Does Tyrion survive to pass the judgement and would he be so harsh after Dany sends him to trial to die? I'd think it far more likely he or the Starks would be egging Jon out to take out the one who just killed a million innocents in cold blood after an unconditional, drop their damn weapons, type surrender. So, yeah, want to see how that plays out for sure.

And still gonna hope anybody but Bran sits on the throne in the end.

I've loved the show for many years when it was clever. Even now, that it's gone mental, there's still a little love left. I'm still pretty excited for the finale.

Spoiler

Think anything that happens with Jon will be his choice. Think he will chose to take the black in penance for killing Dany because that is his nature.
