    Going back a few pages, I bet anyone that named their daughter “Khaleesi” or “Daenerys” after the character is second guessing that choice now, lol

    ^^^^^Considering Aaron Rodgers was one of those guys, I'd have to agree.

    I've heard Rodgers was in about 7 different scenes if you believe everyone ... i believe Rodgers is a faceless man

    I don't see any scenario were Arya kills Jon just for his face. Jon looked disgusted and ready to turn against Dany once she started burning the city. But even if he didn't, I don't think Arya would kill him.

    So I didn't catch that Varys was trying to poison Dany or was poisoning here and she stopped eating. Maybe it's his fault she went crazy.

    Rumor is that books 6 and 7 are complete and Martin has a deal with HBO to delay publishing until season 8 concludes

    I have said that was my suspicion before....  Not sure if it is true, and not sure if the Barristan Selmy-actor would know.  

    It makes sense though, for HBO to want the 'exclusive' on the story and the ending.

    I think the books will end quite differently.  I believe that the show runner is creating new content that probably goes before Martin for his blessing but isn’t based on unfinished manuscripts of the final books.  I have nothing to base that on but instinct

    GRRM posted it was not true already. Even worse, is he said he has not even started Book 7. Working on the TOOL timeline of creativity.

    I'm surprised if he is halfway done the next book.  Hoping he is

    Isn't GRRM like 70 and in poor health? Whatever books aren't finished I doubt they ever will be. I also doubt the rumors are true about completed books, so I'm guessing we'll never know how the story ends in the books. If it wasn't for HBO we probably wouldn't have any ending at all, but then again if it wasn't for HBO I probably would have never heard of the books either.

    Poor health?  Is that a "Fat Joke?"

    Not a joke. But wouldn't 70 and being (morbidly?) obese count as poor health?

    Oh, I agree.  Dude looks massively unhealthy.  (haha, not a joke, although I chuckled as I typed that)

    Definitely. If he hasn't even started book 7 yet, I doubt there will ever be one. At least not one written by him.

    Yes, so upon rewatch I caught that scene with Martha (the little girl) and Varys better and realized that she worked in the kitchen and was being used by Varys to try and poison Dany. I would assume that Dany wasn't eating because she was suspicious of Varys and knew his history with his use of "spiders" and poison.

    I agree. Arya wouldn't kill Jon. I would appreciate it the most if she killed Greyworm and took his face. After his turn during the battle and decision to kill innocents, he's an easy expenditure. His purpose has been fulfilled on the show at this point.
