Lost also did it before Breaking Bad. The final three seasons were shorter, first because of the writers' strike during season 4, but after that they decided to make a deal with ABC such that season 5 and 6 would be shorter than usual.

It is the Mad King's cache of wildfire which was hidden across King's Landing. They never found them all.

ABC renewed LOST for three, shorter seasons and set an end-date well before the writers strike. The strike prevented them from filling their 16 episode order, but it was always going to be a shorter season.

Kevan has had what? Five lines all season? They can't really replicate the books ending with someone most viewers probably don't even know the name of.

He might be the last LC. Wildings and Walkers could be both dead at the end of the series.
I'd take 16 months between GOT seasons if the plotting improved.
"The role of Brandon Stark is now played by 65 year old actor Issac Hempstead-Wright."
like that's gonna stop the writers

I don't remember the last time the show had a good finale. Maybe S3.
edit: Forgot the S3 finale was the Myhsa ep, which I didn't like. In that case, S2.

The Night King will put his finger on Bran's cheek. Cut to black.
Game of Thrones finales have traditionally been denouement following the more climactic Episode 9.
Season 4's was very good, though. Tyrion and Tywin, Hound and Brienne, Stannis routing Mance and one of the more uplifting last shots.

Qyburn. The death of another Cersei ally. It was also foreshadowed earlier in the season when they showed us the little birds. In the scene prior, Varys had a mysterious line about his birds always being loyal.

That title. I think I'm right on what the finale will be.

I'm just going to start going into the show with disappointment at each episode. That way if it's good I'm going to be surprised and if it's bad, I will never be disappointed. I can't believe it's come to this.

but this is the first season with no book, and they wasted all of their money with the last episode. These guys love doing the big battle the second to last episode.

How are they going to resurrect him if he's inside of the tummy of dogs? A spooky skeleton?

I know your avatar was just marketing but for Oberyn especially that makes no sense
Have you ever read the comic

I would take back every negative thing I said about the show if this happened.

No that's what Zombie Ramsay and his minions sing after the Night King revives him. The song's about Sansa.

LMAO now it has to be canon. Will Sansa sing Once Upon a December as she looks warmly at the halls of Winterfell then all of a sudden ghosts starts appearing throughout the castle including the dead Starks?
Learn To Do It featuring Littlefinger, Robin, and Sansa.

also just realized, how come it takes Brienne and Pod more than an episode to reach Winterfell to fight alongside Jon and never reach it, but it takes Theon a-
nevermind.
nevermind.

Battlestar and Tony Soprano beat AMC to the paunch.
Well, he is trying to make Westeros great again.What does this say about Littlefinger? Small fingers... small hands... small....?

High Sparrow stands over Tommen, Cersei watching. She says he's mad.
High Sparrow responds: "Howland Mad". Then he whips on a pair of sunglasses and the season ends.

I fully expect the completely nonsensical Howland Reed = High Sparrow theory to be proven right tonight. I'd also take Daario=Euron, even though it makes maybe even less sense.
The screen fades to black, then slowly 2019 appears on the screen.

I don't really see it as nonsensical.
You have the Tower of Joy being an important moment in the lore of the show. Holwand is the only living survivor, not counting Jon. Howland has been conspicuously absent the entire series. He wasn't fighting the war with Robb, even though he was one of Ned's most trusted friends and bannermen.
He's either been up to something all this time, or GRRM just forgot about him.

Surely there would be some sort of reason besides plunging the entire world with winter by the white walkers right?
Any guesses?

Original (and the better) Daario turns out to be Real Euron, showing up and killing Fake Euron. New Daario disappears in a puff of smoke
They want to take over the world, and Undead don't rott in the cold. Or something.

I don't think that'll ever happen.
1. The Hound would not stand a chance in a fight against him now, even before he was undead it would have been tough for him, now it is near impossible to win.
2. The Hound can take solace in knowing he outlived him.
3. The Mountain would more likely have more challenging fights ahead.
4. The Hound and The Mountain teaming up would be far greater to see.
It seems unlikely that he would join the Faith and become their leader though.
The High Sparrow didn't "become their leader". The High Sparrow is a man who came from wealth, and had some sort of personal epiphany one day and realized the depth of his sin and the pointlessness of worldly excess. He abandoned everything, and followed the Faith in the most basic form. Not the politics and bureaucracy of the actual order, but helping the common people and leading by example. This movement of his picked up steam and coupled with the swell of unhappiness the commoners had over all the lords fighting over whatever in the past few years, it turned into a form of protest against royal abuse in the capital.
So this isn't a guy who dropped everything to join the Faith with the intention of being a leader or whatever. He could literally be anyone who once had wealth and power in some way, whether as a businessman or a lord. It doesn't seem likely that he's a lord of importance though, because otherwise his enemies would all recognize him. So the Howland Reed theory seems unlikely. But I don't think it is implausible that someone like Howland Reed could follow the same character path if he had some sort of personal crisis.
