This episode will get a little spoilery. Now, complaints about the final season of Game of Thronesranged across the board from, so many questions being left unanswered by showrunners David Benioff and D. B. Weiss, to characters acting out of character, to so many plots lovingly set up over seasons, being cast aside and meaning absolutely nothing, like the Azor Ahai prophecy and John’s lineage.

The show didn’t even explore some seriously important in-world things like, how paper cups, coffee chains, and the invention of plastics would affect warfare moving forward. Wait, what? Game of Thrones Ending, Game of Throne book, Game of Thrones Sequel, Game of Thrones coming back 2020?. The coffee cup was a mistake? It’s not lore? Well, suffice it to say, fans were pissed. And, at the time, A Song of Ice and Fire creator and author, George R. R. Martin, took to his not a blog, but definitely a LiveJournal, to seemingly defend the show’s ending.

Now it appears there’s hope for fans who felt let down when those credits rolled for the last time. A dream of things that could be set right. A dream of spring, if you will. In a recent interview with the German publication Welt, Martin teed up some interesting tidbits that should be enough to bring any fan back into the fold.

It’s important to note that these quotes have been translated into English, so they might not be exact, but the message remains the same. So, what did Martin say? Well, a big thing to note, is that he said we sawan ending, not the ending. He then highlighted the fact that the makers of the show overtook him, which he did not expect. Game of Thrones Ending, Game of Throne book, Game of Thrones Sequel, Game of Thrones coming back 2020?. It’s like what happened with Naruto, why there was so much filler. God, you could skip like 60 episodes of that original arc.

Anyway, I’m not salty about it, like 15 years later. While he’s spoken before about the nature of storytelling across different mediums like television and novels, it’s good to have confirmation that not everything we saw up on the screen is gonna play out the same whenever those final two novels eventually come out.

That said, we do know some aspects from the series ending, will coincide with Martin’s plans for the books. Isaac Hempstead Wright, who plays Bran in the series, mentioned in an HBO documentary about Game of Thrones, that David and Dan told me there were two things George R. R. Martin had planned for Bran, and that was the Hodor revelation, and that he would be king.

Now honestly, this isn’t so surprising. It would be weird if the whole time travel aspect to Hodor’s life wasn’t planned from the start. But, we expect Bran, being the three-eyed raven, will actually mean something more in the books, instead of just you know, him being bait during The Battle of Winterfell, or whatever he was doing that whole time. Now maybe, just maybe, we’ll actually find out why the white walkers hate him so much.

Doctors hate him. What’s his secret? Time travel. Another revealed by Martin is that Game of Thrones films was a possibility at some point and that, a few years back, there were serious discussions about the series and how they could tie it up in a trilogy of movies after its seventh season. Ultimately though, HBO moved on from that idea. Although to be fair, with the six episodes comprising the show’s eighth season, it kind of wound up being the same as a trilogy of movies with the run times.

Game of Thrones Ending

Now, all in all, it’s actually great to hear the Winds of Winter and A Dream of Springare still being worked on, and that the endings will address some things that fans did not enjoy about the show’s final season. We’ll just have to wait and see though, once the books finally drop, whenever that may be. But what do you folks think? Are you glad we’re gonna get a different ending to A Song of Ice and Fire? It’s you know, a remix to a song.

It makes sense. Was that ending to Game of Thrones really that bad? And, when do you think The Winds of Winter will finally release? Before or after the heat death of the universe?
