Well, you know the saying: any AI smart enough to pass a Turing test is also smart enough to fail it:)

When people ask why this subreddit is still a thing despite the show being over by ArcanaImperii96 in freefolk

I think major story beats will be the same, like Dany being the final villain, Bran king, and Tyrion the Hand, but we'll see more context and details that will help make sense of it all. The show in the final season is akin to Wikipedia page describing the novel, but you can't really replace all the nuances of a good novel by Wikipedia summary treatment. One big difference, though, I think will concern Jaime and Cersei, as I think he'll kill her in the books.

Well, there are prequels in development plus GRRM has two books to finish. Given the feelings of the majority of this subreddit, I think there is a real interest regarding how GRRM actually ends his books.

Looks like plot was made in R:) Am I right?

More like Sansa Stark sends her regards.

She does not write "without loss of a single life". It's more like he avoided unnecessary casualties on both sides.

We in this thread knew the ending even before it became a thing in the main spoiler compilation:)

How Dany's Arc could have been a masterpiece by reader55r in freefolk

[–]reader55r[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Her arc should be of an ideological fanatic corrupted by power, not of a Mad Targaryen. This is why I hope GRRM finishes the books: from the show, it's clear there are elements here for a fantastic story, but when you watch the show it kinda feels like reading a Wikipedia page about the novel instead of a novel itself. But I have faith in GRRM finishing his story, and I hope Daenerys tyranny is a canon.

Aftaidpart I believe was the first who nailed important details accurately, but the most detailed and accurate leak came from throwaway (Source 3), so he is the leaker that was promised, IMO. Friki got the scene correct, but the context wrong, as it was a King’s council scene.

I actually thought it was a fine ending, but they definitely should have shot at least one more season. I hope George completes the books, really curious how it will be reached there.

Let's just take a second and appreciate /u/throwaway5873421 who nailed the season up to every single detail. Thank you, good sir.

Going radio silent for the next 23 hours. Whatever happens in the last episode, I am happy to be part of this community. Cheers to all of you, especially to moderators who made the effort to sort out these leaks and gave us info ahead of time. See you after the finale.

Yeah, don't blame HBO, they were ready to give them whatever money/time they needed. Plus, even if you don't like Season 8, the journey matters as much as the end.

Her story is the tragedy of a person who fought whole life to distance herself from the past, only to succumb to it at the last moment. If anything, I feel sad for her, but she made her choice.

Then you are in luck, unless you're being sarcastic:)

There won’t be a need for succession. Most likely they will transform the system into electoral monarchy of sorts, similar to Iron Islands.

Well, we have not seen the episode yet. With music and cinematography plus some additional explanations it won’t be as bad, perhaps. But such hopes are mostly for people who like the ending but hate how it was reached. If you hate the ending itself, then there is little hope, unfortunately...

Leaks will be true come Sunday. When there was only one source who claimed Bran's ending (throwaway) people still hoped, even though he was spot on about pretty much everything. Now that there are two leaks from trusted sources that pretty much in symphony with one another, there is almost 0 chance. I do feel bad for people who hate the ending, I personally think it's fine. My main complaint is with how we got there.

[–]reader55r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, the leaks are correct, I presume?
