When Does the Baby Get Switched on Game of Thrones
George RR Martin is a genius at foreshadowing, in the nearly tricksy style ever.
As his book editor, Anne Groell, said in 2014: "Now I've realised his threefold revelation strategy, I run into it in play well-nigh every time. The commencement, subtle hint for the really astute readers, followed later by the more blatant hint for the less attentive, followed by but spelling it out for everyone else."
And then, you lot tin can bet George has already clearly foreshadowed the ending of Game of Thrones, hiding it in plain sight, to reward readers who'll get back to revisit the whole series again once information technology's finished.
Based on this premise, hither'southward a bunch of book-clues that reveal how Game of Thrones could end.
1. The 'Tyrion and Sansa' ending
Nosotros've already talked a little chip about the theory that Tyrion and Sansa volition end up together by the end of the series, even providing a historical basis for our speculation.
It might seem weird, merely the book has totally foreshadowed Tyrion and Sansa ruling Westeros.
Look at this, from the showtime book's introduction to Tyrion: "When he opened the door, the light from within drew his shadow clear across the chiliad, and for only a moment Tyrion Lannister stood tall every bit a king."
And this, from Sansa'southward first POV chapter: "She was a Stark of Winterfell, a noble lady, and someday she would be a queen."
Seems pretty breathy, no?
2. The 'Wizard of Oz' catastrophe
A popular post-flavour 7 theory posits that Bran'southward still in a blackout and has imagined everything that'south happened on the show since. He'south basically putting all of his family / acquaintances into the plot of One-time Nan's stories, and the catastrophe of the bear witness will be Bran waking up in bed, surrounded by all the Starks who have died – Catelyn, Ned and Robb – likewise as the surviving members of his family. Whether he'll shout 'In that location's no identify like Winterfell!' is as even so unconfirmed.
This twist is technically possible, mainly because One-time Nan has foreshadowed so much of what's happened on the show – whether it'south full general (ice dragons), specific (the Night Rex) or really specific (she seemed to predict exactly how Arya would kill Walder Frey: "It was not for murder that the gods cursed him, nor for serving the Andal king his son in a pie. A man has a right to vengeance. Just he slew a invitee beneath his roof, and that the gods cannot forgive.")
It's an interesting theory, but we can't imagine narrative genius George RR Martin resorting to the 'Information technology was basically all a dream' ending.
3. The 'Princess Helpmate' ending
Another take on Old Nan's predilection for prophecy has the catastrophe of Game of Thrones influenced by a unlike fantasy book and movie – The Princess Bride.
In that flick, an old man reads a young boy a story, and we see the events of that story play out. Some fans believe that'south the real caption for Old Nan's insane foreshadowing – she's really in charge of the story itself. And those bits where Bran does his three-eyed raven fob to look at events from the by? That'due south young Bran asking Erstwhile Nan for backstory info.
Past this logic, the testify volition terminate with Old Nan coming to the end of her story, and young Bran sitting upwards in bed asking to be read another. There's a very slim chance this scene could take been filmed during the outset season – we certainly hope so as Bran has changed a LOT since then – but we'd say this probably isn't how it's really going to end. Or at least we hope not. Information technology would exist… inconceivable!
iv. The 'All-Bran' catastrophe
Some fans however believe the stop of Thrones will contain the major reveal that Bran has been responsible for pretty much everything in the serial – building the wall, influencing the Mad Male monarch, and even being the Night King – and there is evidence for it in the books. Await at this section, which is from Bran's POV.
"Thousands and thousands of years ago, Brandon the Builder had raised Winterfell, and some said the Wall. Bran knew the story, but it had never been his favorite. Maybe ane of the other Brandons had liked that story.
Sometimes Nan would talk to him as if he were her Brandon, the baby she had nursed all those years ago, and sometimes she confused him with his uncle Brandon, who was killed by the Mad King earlier Bran was even born. She had lived and then long, Mother had told him one time, that all the Brandon Starks had become 1 person in her caput."
We used to recall this could happen, but it's a pretty big concept to build into the terminal half dozen episodes of the bear witness. It might have been foreshadowed in the books, but information technology actually hasn't in the series.
5. The 'Lord of the Rings' ending
The Lord of the Rings will play a part in the way Game of Thrones volition end, and information technology's been heavily foreshadowed.
There'southward a load of parallels betwixt Tolkien's Lord of the Rings series and Game of Thrones, with some fan theorists going as far as to propose they're fix in the same world (Heart-world) with Thrones being an unofficial sequel to LOTR.
We know Martin'south a fan of Tolkien'due south series, and we can see at to the lowest degree one way the endings of the two backdrop will basically be the same.
This theory involves the Crypt of Winterfell, which has been alluded to equally being a place full of ghosts so many times. Whether it'due south Jon telling Sam that he has dreams about the crypts, and that he's afraid of what volition awaken within them when they become too nighttime, or Ned feeling like he'south beingness watched past the Kings of Wintertime's eyes of ice, George has taken plenty of time to prepare usa for the stone Starks under Winterfell coming back to life.
Quick quiz, is this a prophecy from LOTR or GoT?
"Over the land at that place lies a long shadow, due west-reaching wings of darkness. The Tower trembles; to the tomb of kings doom approaches. The Expressionless awaken; for the hour is come for the Oathbreakers: at the Stone of Erech, they shall stand again and hear there a horn in the hills ringing. Whose shall the horn be? Who shall call them from the grey twilight, the forgotten people? The heir of him to whom the oath they swore. From the North shall he come up, need shall drive him: he shall pass the Door to the Paths of the Dead."
If yous said 'Game of Thrones' y'all'd essentially exist right (fifty-fifty if information technology is actually from Lord of the Rings), mainly because the terminology is so similar (horns, oath-breakers, doors, existence from the North) but it's really a description of LOTR'due south Ground forces of the Dead, a bunch of ghost warriors who come to save the twenty-four hours in Return of the Male monarch.
So this theory predicts Winterfell volition take its own spooky ground forces of Starks (including Ned) who'll come up and fight the Night Male monarch'south army.
(Digital Spy does not currently subscribe to this theory.)
vi. The 'Night's Watch is Lightbringer' ending
This isn't so much breathy foreshadowing equally dedicated fans existence really clever. Basically, Game of Thrones geeks accept noticed the parallels between the Azor Ahai prophecy well-nigh a 'Prince who was promised' who will wield a sword of light to destroy the Others, and the Night's Watch vow: "I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against the common cold, the light that brings the dawn."
So, will the catastrophe of Game of Thrones reveal that the Nighttime's Lookout man is the sword that will destroy the Nighttime King? Perhaps… simply information technology would be a flake of a clammy squib.
7. The 'Prince-That-Was-Promised' ending
We're going to keep this i brusk and sweet, because nosotros've banged on nigh Azor Ahai over, and over, and over again. Only here's i affair we hadn't considered until merely at present...
We've long assumed that the 'Prince Who Was Promised' title comes from the fact the prophecy promises a prince volition render. But what if it's cleverer than that? What if it involves a prince who was involved in a hope? Something like Lyanna's pleas re: young Jon. "Promise me, Ned."
WHOA.
8. The 'George's letter to his publisher' ending
We've gone into pretty intense detail on George RR Martin's pitch for the A Song of Water ice and Burn series, which is dissimilar plenty from what the series really ended up being (unless we've totally missed the Jon and Arya romantic subplot on the bear witness) to not count equally a spoiler – but there is stuff here we tin analyse, especially in terms of who Martin'southward said will make it to the end.
In the original pitch Jon, Daenerys, Tyrion, Arya and Bran are the v primary folks who make it to the end of the story. Notice anyone missing? Yep, Sansa – which kind of negates the offset theory on this list.
Permit's hope that this one doesn't count equally foreshadowing, and was more just spitballing – on the assumption no-one outside his publisher's office would ever read it.
Game of Thrones returns for its final season on Sunday, April 14, ambulation on HBO in the US and Sky Atlantic and At present Television in the Britain.
