Entering its final season, Game of Thrones is entering its final season. Fans all over the world are anxious to find out what happens to their favourite characters like Hotpie and Ser Pounce . . . We all know the only characters people care about are Dany, Jon, and for all you anarchists out there, the Night King.
Recently, one of the show’s producers dropped one big hint on Jon and Dany’s fate. Posing on Twitter with a toy model of the Titanic, the producer wrote, “Huge twist for our favourite couple. Can’t say more.” Of course, this leads to speculation that The Night King, with his affinity for Ice, will send an iceberg Jon and Dany’s way to sink their randomly spawned sexy ship.
This plays right into GoT’s love for plot twists and shocking fans with the death of their beloved characters. Tyrion, with his experience in falling off boats from season five, will be well-placed to survive and lead the combined Targayen and Northern armies in the wars to come. After all, he did do his family proud with his victory in the Battle of the Green Fork in season one.
But if you think the death of Dany and Jon means the Night King wins, you would be severely mistaken. The Twitter account @WatchersOTWall recently uploaded a picture of Vladimir Furdík who plays the Night King in Iceland looking severely displeased at extras who play his undead army. If he’s still in Iceland, that means he is still somewhere near the Wall, and nowhere near to endangering the population of the seven Kingdoms.
Given the vast size of his army and the comparatively small hole his newly raised dragon made in the Wall, Reddit user u/writefasterGRRM is speculating that there has been a traffic jam at the Wall. We see no reason to question him, so the end of the world might have to wait. Hopefully, this will not delay the series final.
Finally, Jerome Flynn, who plays Bronn, revealed in an interview that Bronn might have a happy ending. “I think Bronn will get a break, relatively speaking. He had a rough childhood so now I think he’s going to be just fine.”
We know that Bronn is after money, fame, and castles. Given how much money Tyrion and Jaime have been paying him, and his title as Ser Bronn of the Blackwater, he has the first two down. How can he get his castles? Jaime’s departure from the Lannister armies means Bronn has no reason to stay there either. Given the onset of winter and his allegiance to whoever is winning and can pay him the best, Bronn can become an advisor of the Night King. In return, the Night King can build him a ice castle of the sort that Elsa had in Frozen. Just let it go Bronn — you deserve it.
