I've thought about this a lot. And that's probably the problem. I've read so many theories and considered so many endgames that I'm almost to the point where I'll take anything other than the bold. That's probably a disservice to the story, as GRRM never intended for his ending to be speculated on for so long.
The Dany and Jon team up was probably fresh and riveting in his mind when he first thought it up in the early 90s, and I know he only intended for the original story to last like 2 or 3 books. But as the story has expanded, I guess so too has a desire for something grandeur among the people speculating and theorizing.
Unfortunately, I agree with you that it does appear that we're headed towards a traditional ending that doesn't subvert the genre expectations or have a compelling narrative theme other than the straightforward "it's a song of ice and fire" theme. I'm not looking for a twist for the sake of a twist, just something that is as thought out and logical as the big events that made the story so engrossing to begin with. But it's starting to look like it'll just be the Hardhome battle and Battle for Mereen battle mixed together - which will be fine spectacle and fun to watch, but still...
Hopefully I've just been lulled to sleep and they have something more satisfying up their sleeve.
George has said it'll be bittersweet. And one of the bitter elements appears to be the complete destruction of the major houses of Westeros, by the hands of the houses themselves, and not the White Walkers.
House Martell is dead. (Kinslaying helped to do it)
House Baratheon is dead. (Kinslaying helped to do it)
House Tyrell is dead.
House Bolton is dead. (Kinslaying helped to do it)
House Arryn is nearly dead (Kinslaying helped to do it)
House Mormont is nearly dead.
House Lannister is nearly dead.
House Greyjoy is nearly dead (Kinslaying helped to do it)
I wouldn't be surprised if "the wheel" that Dany described truly is broken, and all of the major houses are wiped out at the end.
Whatever they do, I hope they have an epilogue or sort and that it just doesn't end at the climax of battle. I really would like to see what happens to all of the regions and characters after the battle is over.
The way the show expanded on the Hound isOne of the best scenes on the show (and a mostly show invention to boot). The cinematography and dialogue and acting
Starkset turning on Sansa, one of the last real Starks. :guccidahell2:
Looking like Kobe Stans vs real Laker fans.
Just the Lord's chamberMy whole thing with sansa is what does she want? A cookie? bytch thank you for the Vale helo but what the fukk you want? Jon offered your ass Winterfell, you said no.
I'm just triggered. I'm remembering I just started liking this bytch 2 seasons ago. I wish she take her ass to the Vale and use her new found cunning and take over that shyt.
I'm tired of you nikkas saying this stupid shyt, so I'm going to quote you and tag LovelyOne83, Racer X and Blondie.
on #starkset watch this fukkn scene and tell me how she saved Jon?
@3:20
Sansa: I would've told you not to attack Winterfell until we get a larger force
Jon: When will we have a larger force
Sansa: *Knowing she spoke to Littlefinger says nothing*
Jon: We're lucky to have this many men
Sansa: It's not enough
Jon: I know it's not enough. It's what we have.
Sansa: *knowing she spoke to Littlefinger says nothing*
She never saved Jon. She never saved Winterfell. She never saved a single one of the soldiers fighting to reclaim the throne. She threw their lives away in battle when she DECIDED not to inform them of resources from the Vale.
Then she has the audacity to say, "If Ramsey wins I'm not going back there alive."
bytch IF RAMSEY WINS JON IS DEAD TOO. WHAT THE fukk YOU MEAN "YOU'RE NOT GOING BACK THERE ALIVE." bytch NOBODY IS ALIVE.
Sansa is the GoT version of a girl you're dating who won't tell you which restaurant she wants to eat at or a girl who purposely won't text you until you text her first, then gets mad at you for being distant.
Like bytch speak up. WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS.
STOP CODDLING THIS GROWN ASS FEMALE.
This bytch acts like she's muhfukkn AskJeeves. "I know him". "I know her". What do you know!? Speak specifics.
Nah, he also said you should be the Lady of Winterfell and she was like no, you are a Stark too. Should have claimed her shyt but she knows the North aint really going to follow a woman in times of war. She need to fall back and stay in her lane...Just the Lord's chamber
