BalerionTheCat Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 If "Holy S***" is something expected, it would be Jon is the Targaryens' heir. Or Jaime kills Cersei. Or Tyrion is Targaryen and rides a dragon. No it must be something F*** bad. Not that Jon killing Cersei would be good. Something like Cersei getting a dragon (she too may be a Targaryen bastard). Or she could become some badass undead, with Qyburn or the NK help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticWeirwood Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Some have suggested that Bran becomes trapped in the past, becoming Bran the Builder but leaving his current body to die. That's probably not going to have the narrative impact that the showrunners allude to. They said it happens right at the very end. It's after the Battle for the Dawn has been won and the Great Other defeated, when everybody is dreaming of spring. Then at the very end Dany like her mother before dies in childbirth. She does so giving birth to Jon’s child (or maybe children if twins) so that the pure Targaryen line can carry on — without her. Only death can pay for life. The Promised Land will never be hers.

A reasonable guess, but surely not a HSM, because everyone expects something like that and a main character dying is nothing completely unexpected. Let us be clear, that these "holy sh** moments" were not at all decisive for the story line, but simply unexpected scenes where someone might say "holy s**" just because of a strong emotional impact. The "Hodor"-HSM story for example fits this perfectly. Just an explanation for his name, but what a dramatic scene. But without this explanation, the story would have worked out the same, too. So I don' think we should guess drastic consequences for the storyline, rather impressive, emotional, unexpected turns and revelations. Whatever it might be. Maybe some information we would have never really expected. For example (not really serious) if Ned Stark would have sent the dagger himself, revealed by Bran's vision.

I think the last HS moment, if it is yet to come, will be something small but hugely impactful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Bong of Ice and Fire Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 According to the (probably fake) season 8 script summary leaks, the final holy $#!+ moment is Spoiler Bran is the new Night King. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinscS2 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 The last Holy Shit-moment will be in the last episode when the audience realizes that this show actually has a happy ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sept of Baelor was more shocking for me. The difference is that Shyreen's burning is a holy s*** moment of the books. Sept of Baelor is a show-moment, and isn't likely to be in the books, especially since the wildfire beneath the sept was already discovered before Blackwater and cleared away by the pyromancers and then used against Stannis, and the foreshadowing leans toward fAegon winning KL and being on the throne before Dany's arrival. Not that Cersei won't try to burn something, but unlikely in the show's way and with her on the throne as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard of Banefort Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 One theory that I think may turn out to be true is that GOT will have an ending similar to LotR, in the sense that the magic dies and an age of man begins. If all the dragons die in the end, that could constitute as a "holy shit," moment, especially if it means that Dany dies with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
