So I've been rewatching the series for a few weeks and I'm of the mind that it seems like there are a million story threads being trod underfoot owing to the needs of our "final battle" scenario. The religious aspect in particular I feel like has been completely left by the wayside since Stannis was defeated. It seemed like earlier seasons were building toward something cosmic. After all, our protagonist has been raised from the dead, but that matters nought when he gets to shack up with Danerys.
The show is nothing but generic fantasy schlock now. Which, like, if that's what the average viewer wants, then great. But it's terribly disappointing artistically.
Well I'm still hoping the Lord of Light keeps GRRM alive to finish the books with his version of the story.
Martin has told them all the major plot points. D and D mentioned they've known it was Arya for three years. People seem to either forget about or wholesale ignore this.
Wait, so you're saying that GRRM told D&D that Arya was supposed to be the one to kill the Night King?
I doubt Arya kills the night king in the books for 2 reasons
1. Arya never meets Melisandre in the books
2. Theirs no night king in the books lol
