Spike ,'Sleeper'
[NAFDA] A thread for the discussion of all original programming on HBO, Showtime, Starz and other premium channels.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
What I want from the final episode, and I know I won't get:
- Arya killing the last dragon and preferably surviving the fight.
- Dany attacks Jon because of Arya's kill, Jon and Dany end up both dead.
- Tyrion sitting on the remains of the Iron Throne, drinking himself to death.
- Sansa looking out over Winterfell recovering from the battle, and sees Arya walk back through the gate.
None of this will happen. I know this.

Oh, and I want Bran to become a tree again (he was a tree for a while, right? I'm not misremembering?), because he's been pretty useless and his sisters don't need his help.
Go Sansa, still alive until the last episode. I didn't think she would.
Now Arya needs to return to Winterfell and be boots on the ground to Sansa's Lady of Winterfell.
Maybe Bran is already a tree! I'd be good with that happening offscreen.
If Jon Snow had just fucked his aunt one more time she probably wouldn't have burned down the city.
God he's so useless. And I can't remember the last time Tyrion was even remotely smart.
WHY was this 40 minute episode 80 minutes long? It's like they had footage of people being hacked to death on a loop.
Y'all are making me grateful I only read the books. I may watch at some point, but so far just reading media reports has been good enough.
For a little while I actually did get hype, so there's that. Loved it when Qyburn bought it.
What I want from the final episode, and I know I won't get:
- Jon NOPES the fuck out, and retreats not only from Kings Landing, but all the way back North, and then keeps going and goes to live in the wildlands with his best bud Tormund and his sidekick Ghost.
- Arya kills Dany. (OK, we'll probably get that one)
- Sansa rules as Queen of the North and also maybe the Vale, focuses on rebuilding her homeland, and the other five or six kingdoms descend into anarchy. (Although it sounds like Dorne will be OK).
- Bran turns into a tree.
- Tyrion used to be my favorite character, but at this point I DGAF what happens to him or any other remaining character.
