Tbh I think Brienne is as good as dead in season7, her story doesn't have an arc like Jamie's etc, she dies tells Jaime she loves him and believes he's honorable etc, and Jaime in righteous rage kill the Nightking. He's a kingslayer after all.

What works against it, is that there is not any rivalry between him and Nightking and there is one between Jon and NK who met at 2 occasions already.

Anyways it's going to be interesting how series end... since we can almost be sure we will never see the ending of the books under GRRM.

jamie isn't killing the NK. If the show follows book canon and produces Azor Ahai (can't remember if that's a thing in the show) then Jon/Longclaw makes the most sense as Azor Ahai/lightbringer . . . . whether he has to stab Dany (as Nissa Nissa) to make it happen is anyone's guess (and I suppose the show runners could reverse the roles)

If the show follows book canon

That's a pretty huge "if". Certainly not one I'd be willing to put money on.

For those of you looking to satisfy your Medieval itch, "Outlaw King" on Netflix is worth the watch.

It reminds me of GoT season 1: actually good acting/writing/casting (many actors carry over) and a lot of weight given to historical accuracy.

Jon already done stabbed Dany.

I saw some story the other day about how ***** is going to go hide out in a mountain cabin and finish whichever one he's supposedly working on now.

Before we go, here’s a standard question I missed asking you at the start: What excites you most about Fire and Blood?

The book is a lot of fun. The people who are open to reading an imaginary history and not a novel — which I realize is not everybody — have enjoyed it so far. But honestly, the single thing that excites me most is that I finished it. I know there are a lot of people out there who are very angry with me that Winds of Winter isn’t finished. And I’m mad about that myself. I wished I finished it four years ago. I wished it was finished now. But it’s not. And I’ve had dark nights of the soul where I’ve pounded my head against the keyboard and said, “God, will I ever finish this? The show is going further and further forward and I’m falling further and further behind. What the hell is happening here? I’ve got to do this.” I just got the [Fire and Blood] copy and, holding it in my hand, it’s a beautiful book. The illustrations by Doug Wheatley are great. It’s been a long while since I had a new Westeros book and nobody knows that as well as I do. I know that just as much as the angriest of my hardcore fans. And I have continued to publish other things. It’s not like I’ve been on a seven-year vacation. I have Wild Cards books coming out every six months. But not like this, one that’s entirely my writing. So to finish a book that I’m proud of and excited by was emotionally a big lift for me.

 

[SixOhNine]

Oh for Christ's sake, just shut the **** up.

I'll bet you are proud and excited to know that desperate readers will pay to read half assed notes and back story that normal writers would be embarrassed to show to anyone.

Yes , yes and everybody loves it so much. They will get tired of reading because they will be reading so much and asking Mr Martin please stop, we can't do reading anymore!

Yes.. that tone sounds familiar. I think we won't be getting any books soon or ever.

 

[Lionel Hutz]

GRRM on Colbert now

Maybe he'll have an advance copy of WOW and it'll go on sale on black friday

 

[beargonefishing]

I wish he had an idea for finishing the ******* books.

George R.R. Martin has an idea for yet another ‘Game of Thrones’ spinoff series
