Will Arya have killed both the Night King and the Dragon queen? Or will Jon kill Dany? So much to ponder for next week

In the books, did lady Stoneheart kill Brienne. I thought I remember reading that when I did read the books ,years ago, but now can't recall

Avoiding this thread now until the finale I think but as for your question... the book didn't confirm that Lady Stoneheart killed her - she was about to have her killed. There was still a chance for redemption. I'm not sure if the TV show confirms if she didn't kill them or if Lady Stoneheart doesn't exist in the TV series universe and so Brienne lives.

Dragon Queen only one left to Kill , Jon probably finally saw that he will have to take the throne in order to find peace. Or maybe curveball and Gendry becomes king, king of what though...........

This turn of face seems absolutely dumb. The show had given indication that Danaerys is slightly ruthless to reach her goals but never any indication she'd go crazy and murder innocent people for no reason. Sure she'd would be willing to kill innocent people if they were collateral damage when attacking military targets, not straight up murder innocent people.

The plot armour was strong with Arya which was annoying.

Jamie's character arc has been made pointless.

The hound vs Mountain was a good fight.

Awesome, epic episode. The cinematography was simply beautiful. Brutal and definitive!

A Snow-white fairytale ending we will not have. Love it.

So in Ep4 Mr. 360 NoScope pirate can take out a dragon with just a few ships but in Ep5 even with hundreds of ships and ballistas on the walls they can't do ****? So Rhaegal died just for no stupid reason @_@

Also, the fight between Jamie and Euron was so lame, as was Cersei's death

Inverse ninja law. More opponents makes the fight easier. Guess that counts for the dragons too. Drogon is way more OP on his own than when the three were together.

Well according to the leaks that have been pretty much on point so far:

Jon kills Dany and surrenders himself, then takes the black again and feksoff North

But the Night's Watch is now irrelevant, so what's the point of returning to it?

There's no more white walkers and the wildlings are allies...

Me, fantasy fan trying to be supportive to GOT fans:
Last week:
Fans: They killed the DRAGONS!
Me: Ah great, you must be very happy?
Fans: AAAARGGGHH! All of them must die! They must all BURN!
This week:
Fans: All of them DIED! Everything has burned!
Me: Ah great, you must be very happy?
Fans: AAAARRGGHH!

Me: :unsure:

Danaerys turning and doing the unexpected is what madness is. If everyone expected this from her she would just be a tyrant like Cersei, not mad. The Mad King was probably also sane for a while before he lost it.

Cersei is still more evil in my books as she purposely put everyone in harms way. Danaerys just went batshit crazy and decided not to play Cersei's game anymore.

I think most hardcore fans are not necessarily upset that something happened but the way it happened (lazy writing). I'm not a hardcore fan but do enjoy watching the show. It's clear that the writers just don't give a **** anymore and they just wanted to get it over with. Not solely their fault as GRRM couldn't be bothered to finish what he started as well. Just a sad state for what could've been one of the great TV shows of our time.
