at least the show will have an end game not like the books that will never end

Re: Game of Thrones (S5E08) -- "Hardhome" -- 5/31/15
 

I wonder how upset people would be if the true ending (and I have no clue about the books, this is just for fun) is that the white walkers win and wipe out humanity. All these seasons of interpersonal angst and fighting for the throne and dragons and such (and apparently in the books hundreds of pages of minutia), and they just lose, like the ultimate troll ending.

Re: Game of Thrones (S5E08) -- "Hardhome" -- 5/31/15
 

I'd love it.

Re: Game of Thrones (S5E08) -- "Hardhome" -- 5/31/15
 

I'm sure there will be a lot of loss and hurt along the way, and doubt that the ending will be all happy smiley sunshine, but I'd definitely bet against an ending where the humans ultimately lose.

Re: Game of Thrones (S5E08) -- "Hardhome" -- 5/31/15
 

That would be great. Walkers win and send the planet into an ice age. Killing everyone except Varys who somehow kept paddling. Last man standing and he's not even a man.

Re: Game of Thrones (S5E08) -- "Hardhome" -- 5/31/15
 

Ooooh I like that.

Re: Game of Thrones (S5E08) -- "Hardhome" -- 5/31/15
 

That would be flipping horrible.

Even GRRM has stated that his ending will be bitter sweet. If its just 7 years of caring for characters only to troll them and have everyone lose?

Re: Game of Thrones (S5E08) -- "Hardhome" -- 5/31/15
 

varys and wynn duffy, the 2 guys who always make it through.

Last shot will be of Bronn singing off into the sunset.

Re: Game of Thrones (S5E08) -- "Hardhome" -- 5/31/15
 

I thought about that too. The show ends with all humanity wiped out and the main White Walker guy sitting on the iron throne. It would be interesting, to say the least and it would be hilarious to see everyone flip out.

Re: Game of Thrones (S5E08) -- "Hardhome" -- 5/31/15
 

Which is why its not going to happen, Do you want to kill your 'Game of THrones' cash cow by trolling the very people that are giving you the cash?

Re: Game of Thrones (S5E08) -- "Hardhome" -- 5/31/15
 

I don't think it will happen either, if only because a storyteller usually wants to make his stories have a point and not just be for shock value (which is why you don't build up a character like Jon Snow and then have him die of frostbite coming back from Hardhome or something), but what does GRRM care, is he going to be around to spend it after he finishes the last book? ;)

Re: Game of Thrones (S5E08) -- "Hardhome" -- 5/31/15
 

I did have a few moments where I thought Jon might die in this episode. Sam saying "Jon always comes back" gave me a little moment of fear. Then during the attack I thought "What if Sam is right, but he comes back as part of the dead army?"

I didn't seriously think it would happen, but the "always comes back" struck me as a little "Two days from retirement" in its delivery.

Re: Game of Thrones (S5E08) -- "Hardhome" -- 5/31/15
 

What if the books and show end in completely different ways?

At the rate things are going, that looks like a possibility.

Re: Game of Thrones (S5E08) -- "Hardhome" -- 5/31/15
 

Is it "white walker" or "wight walker"?

Re: Game of Thrones (S5E08) -- "Hardhome" -- 5/31/15
 

Yeah! And have the final scene in the series show Varys standing in a library full of books but he breaks his last pair of reading glasses.

Re: Game of Thrones (S5E08) -- "Hardhome" -- 5/31/15
 

I wonder if they will do a study in King's Landing regarding the economy and amount of hookups and sexual assaults after the brothels there have shuttered.

Re: Game of Thrones (S5E08) -- "Hardhome" -- 5/31/15
 

One writer's speculation/spoiler based off of hardhome the end game.

Re: Game of Thrones (S5E08) -- "Hardhome" -- 5/31/15
 

Did you ever watch Lost? :)

But yeah, you're right. It obviously won't happen. It wouldn't make any sense.
