OT: All Things Game of Thrones III (The End!?)

[Starat327]

Euron is Wildcard Charlie in pirate-king form and I don't think I'd have wanted to shoehorn him into enough showtime to flesh him out into a more complex character. Dude is different and it's fine. Likewise for Vargo Hoat/Locke.


Actually let's all be thankful that Vargo didn't make it in as an accurate portrayal.

Im not going to lie, I was a fan of Euron's character in show. He provided a good amount of comedic relief while still being a good 'villain'. I didnt need more of him on screen, but i dont think any of his scenes were necessarily 'wasteful' - or at least not the ones in my head. I suppose the conversation with Yara wasnt necessary, but i viewed that more as a setup for her release than a Euron moment.

Now I'm thinking about Vargo. Changing him into Locke might be one of the best decisions the showmakers made, if not the best decision. It would have been completely insane for Jaime to have been maimed by a dude who rides a zebra and talks like a gritty reboot of Sylvester the Cat with a mouthful of novocaine. And he also wears a goat mask/helmet. And his band of mercenaries are circus themed.

Book nerd.

Just needed to get this off my chest. The Golden Company was very disappointing.

but we NEED that level of detail.

That cant possibly be real? I mean I heard the Horn nonsense and laughed but this your making up , right?

Nope.

I have not used even one tiny bit of hyperbole or sarcasm.

This person manages to own Harrenhal for a minute.

A minute is about right.

Its Gregor that ultimately gets the kill, right? Dismembers him, if i recall?

I don't remember.

I don't think it's outside the realm of possibilities that Dany actually "wins", and the last shot begins with a closeup of her face and zooms out to show her sitting on the throne (or whatever's left of it).

That would just be bitterly tragic. I'm here for the tragedy, but I don't even know if I could wrap my head around that level of nihilism.

I'm immensely curious about what will happen in the final episode. I have no idea. I would like to see something of Dany eventually shrinking at the realization that she's become a monster, having Drogon melt down the iron throne, and then sacrificing herself and her last child (the world just isn't safe with that thing flying around). A small measure of redemption.

 

[baudib1]

GRRM has always (like constantly) talked about how he loved "Scouring of the Shire" and I'm sure the last episode will be the "Scouring of the Shire" of the series. He said, "Is Aragorn a good leader? What are his tax policies? Does he have equal rights for orcs?" etc.

 

[baudib1]

Tell me how Bronn fits in the end at this point.

Head of Dany's Queens Guards

So then the question is, who kills Sharkey?


If we wanna run with the LOTR comp I think at this point it would be Tyrion killing Dany in that scenario and him getting killed in the process.


Strictly theoretically, I don't have the slightest idea how it will play out. I can't even make a real guess.

It's hard to think of many endings that would be emotionally powerful. That would be one obviously. Maybe Dany and Jon both die and the last shot is Drogon flying off to join Norbert at a dragon colony in Romania.

Defends Tyrion in his trial by combat and then after Dany is dead joins the small council.

Would be very empty victory for her given state of Westeros and fact she doesn't have an heir nor can she ever birth an heir

It would leave a lot of people pissed off but given human history of how many brutal tyrants have taken power it wouldn't be unrealistic

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

The rubble from the Kings Landing will sit on the throne

 

[baudib1]

I don't think it's at all a given that Dany dies this episode.

It's been so heavily foreshadowed and not even in subtle ways that Daenerys is pregnant that I can hardly believe that won't be a thing.

And if Jon is the father, there is your material for a sequel.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

The cast/creators have said ending would be bittersweet I believe

Would that not allude to possibility Jon a broken man abdicates thrown to his sister and she is the one with task to rebuild everything to hold the entire kingdom together

Brienne becomes Kings Guard

At end of day though KL is in ruins. I just cant see it getting rebuilt. Its should become another Valyria left for eternity to be remembered in history as a tragedy

At beginning of season I had a Gendry/Arya on throne and still want to believe it could happen now that Arya is showing humanity again and may reconsider not wanting to spent rest of life with Gendry

But I thought Gendry would take over a King's Landing that wasn't in ruins. Cant see throwing poor Gendry into role as leader of Kingdoms in ruins

I honestly missed this

What hints have been dropped? And not sure the people of Westeros will want a Targ baby to come to throne given what just happened. That kid would be target for life from Assassins or people out for revenge for what his/her mother did to them
