I can't bring myself to care. I'm not reading the books.

That's a lot of time to spend on Benjen all the sudden...

Smart money says he's part of the army of the dead

So, I ask again. Who am I supposed to be rooting for? Cause the likable people aren't winning.

Maybe if there was more Baelish.....

Sansa. Tirion.

I now feel like the entire wall story has been pointless.

Sansa seems to have taken a death leap. I guess if there was a whole bunch of snow she could of survived but with no food and no means of transportation if the jump didn't kill her she will be dead or hunted down soon.

I am sure that Tyrion will do a good job running Mereen because he is vastly more competent than Dany is. I am sure he is being set up as the Richelieu and Mazarin to Dany's Louis XIII.

I just assume Sansa is alive. I think they would have made more of a point is she committed suicide.

Welcome to the cliffhanger that has been out there for book readers for 4 years. The final book ends with that final scene at the wall. This is speculation based on the books, so I'll spoiler tag it, but honestly you know as much as we do at this point...

Spoiler!

Spoiler!

Can we read the spoiler thread yet or are there still some things resolved in the book that haven't been shown in the series?

I would say that, to my recollection, the BIG events that would be considered spoilers have all been revealed now (ending with Cersei's walk and Jon's situation). There are still a few plot points in the books that could possibly be played out in the show, but I can't recall any major events at this point that would be an "OMG I wish I hadn't known that!" rather than a "Huh - that's different than what I saw in the show" kind of deal. In terms of plotlines that are 1) reasonably intact and 2) played out in the books...
  • The Old Town storyline exists in the books (albeit in a different order of events), so book readers will know some about what happens there.
  • Blinded Arya happens in the books, again in a different point in the timeline.
I'd ask a couple other book readers to chime in since I'm pretty fuzzy on the books after a few years, but as I'd think you'd be safe as long as you're OK with reading speculation about what could possibly happen that is based on more detail (or different details) than were shown on TV, as well as lots of discussion about how the books were different than the show.

Thanks. So the main plot lines aren't drastically different than the books? I know some of the minor things have been altered but it sounds like the main things have at least ended in the same spot.

GloucesterChief 06-14-2015 09:03 PM

I guess sign me up for Team White Walker.

Just make sure the apocalypse is entertaining.

Sorce 06-14-2015 09:19 PM

I'm on #teamWhiteWalker at this point, I believe in zombie darth maul.

I think so (though again, I'd wait for a couple others to confirm). There are MAJOR differences in the books, and a number of characters (one major one in particular) that haven't appeared in the show at all. However, I think the general feel is that they're just not a part of the show and won't ever be. No promises though.
