How do you think Game of Thrones will end? Will Jon Snow become a white walker? Will Daenerys sit the Throne? Will Alt Shift X reach 1M subscribers???

11:16 "Surely the story won't end with a sword fight", ... not even that
-
Samwell: Jon. I've read something from the Citadel about ancient stark heritage. You're not going to believe this but the starks supposedly decend from white-wal... Jon: I DON'T WANT IT! Samwell: What? No im talking about an ancient dark secret in your family's Jon: SHE IS MY QUEEN!
-
I know this is super late and everything, but "Winter is coming" as a threat instead of a cautionary tale slaps so hard. These cold ass ice barbarians show up and wreck your house and entire family tree, and then tell everyone about it like they're a force of nature.
-
The fact that Arya used "winter is coming" as a threat when talking to House Frey. "Tell them winter came for house Frey"
-
Show runners should have consulted you for the last two seasons.
-
"There must always be a Stark in Winterfell" Perhaps Stark kings/wardens know something no one else does. A secret passed from ruler to ruler. Ned's father Rickard knew it, and he passed the secret to his heir Brandon. But they both died and no one passed the secret to the next ruler, Ned. Perhaps that is why the WHite Walkers are coming back. Winter didn't come as long as the Starks upheld their part of the deal in whatever agreement they had. But since Ned did not know about this agreement, the WWs came.
-
Wow G.R.R.M really filled these books with so much depth and backstory. I really can’t believe they managed to make the shows ending so simple.
-
This video now seems an ancient relic from an age of foolish hopefulness. The things we imagined, the mysteries we pondered... I wish I could go hack to that innocence, when we looked to forward to the final season and what answers it would bring. I wish I never found out what a cruel joke it would turn out to be.
-
Yea or Arya could teleport behind the Night King and stab him lmao.
-
Alt Shift X is always my go-to for everything GoT.
-
“There must always be a stark in winterfell”. Ramsay Bolton:*Removes Starks from winterfell* White Walkers:”Alright boys, break it down”.
-
If this is true, then Jon is really powerful. He has the blood of the dragon and blood of the the whitewalkers. Both of which came from the South and the North. He is truly the rightful heir of the Seven Kingdoms.
-
These theories are so good that I am now afraid that the original ending may disappoint me. Update: it sure did. I hate d&d

"Surely the story won't end with a sword fight" D&D: I'm About to End This Man's Whole Career

The theory in which Starks and White Walkers made peace is very interesting. It could be that they agreed for peace for 8000 years and now that time has run out they started their invasion once again. Stark words "The winter is coming" could be taken on the day of the peace to remind all Stark descendants that not only is a winter coming-THE winter is coming. It would kind of mean that White Walkers are as honorable as they are fierce keeping their truce for 8000 years.
-
I'm so sorry dude.
-
Hmm, Brandon the Breaker.. Could it be because he broke ''the agreement''? The agreement between men and white walkers that required human sacrifices to the walkers? If there ever was an agreement, then the Night King was just following it, Brandon the Breaker broke the agreement by killing him.
-
Remember when we thought the White Walkers were actually an interesting, promising part of the story?
-
Yes! When I read the first book I was thinking all the time: "When will the Starks show their true colours? They can't be just good like Ned."
