It's been a long road, but we're finally nearing the finale of Game Of Thrones (only slightly shocked that this thread didn't already exist). What do you thinks going to happen? Who is going to be sitting pretty on the Iron Throne after the almighty battle - if there is an afterwards?
Who lives, who dies? C'mon, it's Game Of Thrones... we're getting our hearts torn to shreds one way or another! What theories do you have? What did you think of the last two episodes?
I'm honestly the most excited, and could talk about this 24/7

Episode 3 was magnificent and some adventure, though parts of it were a bit dark. Created a bit of a buzz along with a furore, from some. Will though partly depend on viewing method and quality of equipment.

LOL. Creative temperament, eh? (He says, being a creative type. )
Not totally sure most people generally go for retuning their TV’s picture settings before a broadcast without prompting.
Like with filming character POV/immersive, the decision to go for a more ‘authentic and immersive viewer experience’ direction has its drawbacks when it comes to the viewing. One of the more infamous recent examples of that I know of is in Bay’s Transformers movies, where I once described the fight scenes as something like “watching random bits of metal and machine parts being spun around in a washing machine”.
In any case, Episode 3's visual darkness wasn't too bad for me - and didn't spoil my enjoyment of it.

I agree there can be some disadvantages with an authentic/realistic experience which will amaze some but displease others, however in this case an effective production and think the contrast enhanced the viewer experience. Perhaps was not at the most optimal level but the dark scenes did not bother me too much. Particularly when watching live think people will not fiddle too much with the settings. Though in general terms I do make some adjustments depending on the content.

After watching it, I now reckon Jon and Daenerys will die at some point and Arya will sit on the throne. Surprised to see a ten year old get crushed by a giant zombie though.

@CarlH I'm sure the cast said even they were shocked at how it ends - none of them could guess it (apparantly). Arya is probably my favourite character right now. I care for Daenerys a little more after watching her attempt to fight, but not enough

Well I didn't expect everybody to be so outraged all over social media at that last episode, I rather enjoyed it!
What do you think is going to happen now? If Daenerys doesn't storm in there and absolutely destroy Cersei I'll be disappointed! The Episode 5 trailer showed Euron looking a little... terrified? shocked? Imagine if Drogon gets kitted up in armour (I mean she didn't make Gendry a Lord for no reason, right?). How cool would that be!?
