elbobo Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 With the Night King dead is winter still coming? Season 7 ended with the first snowflakes falling in Kings Landing and several months at least have passed since then but it seems warmer down there now. Were the long winters and summers caused by outside forces or are they just how they are on that planet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've had Winters without The White Walkers for centuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 The season is definitely suffering from sprinting to the finish, and I do with these past two seasons had been regular 10 episode seasons, or even have a season nine (like the battle against the Night King should have been split into two episodes so it didn't seem like he went down like a bitch), but I have confidence that next week's finale will end well, especially when Martin has told them how it is going to end.

It seems to be the beginnings of spring since TNK died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was predicted to be the "longest winter in centuries" and may have been due to how close/the proximity of TNK/TWW compared to how far away they were previously.

SimpleG Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Martin himself the weather wasnt scientific in nature and revealing why it happen would be a huge spoiler for the series so it wouldnt surprise me if the TWW were the cause of it.

I'll be kinda shocked if The Others in the books have the same origins as The White Walkers in the show. The book ones seem to almost have a society and a language, plus females. The Night's King in the book may have even married a female White Walker (unknown if she was or wasn't). *This isn't discounting/discrediting anything you said, I'm just merely stating this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Something that did the show no favours was the fact that the events of the last two seasons seem to have gone by quickly (due to seemingly-instant teleportation of characters) when in fact years would have gone by. So everything feels rushed due to the fewer episodes per unit of time compared to earlier seasons. Because of this there is less character development shown and things can seem jarring. I don't know what the solution would be, however. Clearly the writing on the show has been much weaker since they ran out of book material, but they did really need at least a handful more of episodes to allow some development and slow burn.

Moa Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 I love how Dany burning King's Landing to the ground seemed inevitable not because of her prior actions but by the insistence, apropos of nothing, of everyone around her that she not do it.

Emblazon Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 New questions: What would be the best possible outcome you would like to see for the ending next week? What outcome would absolutely ruin the ending for you? @SFLUFAN already perfectly predicted the Battle of Winterfell, so whatever he posts is what's actually going to happen.
