Hadn't heard that fan theory (honestly just kinda avoided the fan community overall), but it would be interesting. I feel like though, since last season, they've been wrapping stuff up too nicely (predictably). Circe gets her multitude revenges, Ironborn unich gets his redemption, Sansa teams up with her sister and take out Ferris Bueler's best friend, because the writers don't have any further use for him, etc. etc. Which is why I drearily suspect John "sad puppydog eyes"and Elric's sister are going to get married, unite the kingdoms, usher in a new age of prosperity, blahblahblah. What I desperately want is some pull the rug out from under you event before the end. I can think of a million ways this could be done (OK maybe half a million now that the Night King is dead), but I just want a taste of what made GoT so great in the beginning.
Speaking of the Night King, my GF keeps calling him the Ice King, which makes me think of Adventure Time. And then I'm picturing that old Wizard guy in GoT. Many imaginary lolz were had.
His end felt unsatisfying. Don't get me wrong, it was cool seeing Arya Deathmaster Snikch his ass at the last second. But with every other character in the series we got this in-depth character study (even goddamn Hodor, who spent the early seasons annoying the crap out of me and now is the only character to get me to tears), and NK was just left this two-dimensional Sauron. They could has spent just one episode giving him a backstory, a motivation. I like comicbook films, so I'm content with pretty cartoony villains, but just something besides the vaudeville snidley whiplash-equivalent of an Overlord.
