Littlefinger's downfall is that he thinks he sees everything.

AfterHenry VIIIth divorced Katherine of Aragon and executed Anne Boylen he had both Mary and Elizabeth declared bastards. So there is precedent under English Law. Of course, it would all be up to GRRM if he or if the show, has decided to follow that precedent.

And you care why? Toss in that I've made I think 3 posts, and only one in this thread? My but that's a lot!

It seems that HBO hopes to strike while the iron is hot. I'm not sure that bodes well although in the interest of full disclosure I really don't think I'll be watching no matter what.

In the books the wolves are an important part of the plot, in the show they are essentially nothing.

Yeah, right, and I'm going to marry Dany.

I don't believe for a second that the Others are aligned with anyone south of the wall.

During WW2 every American Armored Division had a nickname, Old Ironsides, Hell on Wheels, Spearhead etc. All but one, 4th Armored was simply that. When the Division Commander was asked about it he simply said that "4th Armored" was enough. For Jon Snow just being Jon Snow was enough. Dany may need a dozen titles, Jon doesn't.

When you consider that LF is responsible for this entire war in which tens of thousands have died his being killed as he was seems short of justice. His end is too merciful for a "Medieval" World.

I think that there will be a lot of misinformation from everyone in the coming months. Sophie's tattoo, Maisie's bloodstained sneakers, and Emilia's interviews are just the start. Remember these are actors, they lie for a living.

I'm pretty much with GRRM on this, I was never looking at GoT or ASOIAF as a morality play.

Yeah, this, I miss Ghost. He wasn't even at the Battle of the Bastards, he should always be somewhere around Jon. As for Rhaegal well, Drogon is Dany's mount and even in the books GRRM gives him a much bigger part than the other two. I look at it this way, Robert E.Lee had other horses but Traveler is the only one who gets any press.

That you will be disappointed by the ending. I think that fans are really expecting this epic end, the kind where you say "Man, that was GREAT!" and I think that expectations have placed it so high that it almost has to disappoint.

Two endings, guaranteed not to happen; They all lived happily-ever-after It was all a dream Also, put me down as against the Zombie Apocalypse. I know that Zombies are really popular now, just as a decade back it was vampires, but yes, if they win then all the rest of the story makes no sense and was just a colossal waste of time. Another I would hate is that after the final fight the camera zooms out to two gamers who turn to one another and say "that was fun, what should we play now?" Oh, and Sansa marries the Hound or she continues her marriage with Tyrion. Or Arya marries Jon.

Ah but what if Jaime isn't on the Kingsguard to defend Cersei? What if Robert decides that he can't have a traitor on the Kings Guard and removes him? Certainly, Jaime can defend himself but he cannot defend Cersei. Also wouldn't one feel that surely the King takes precedence, he gets first pick as it were, so then Selmy goes up against a lesser Knight? And even in Jaime's trial what if it a Jaime who has been locked in a Black Cell for a couple of months? We have seen what that did to Ned, it could certainly take Jaime down a few pegs. Then the issue, IMHO is certainly in doubt.
