Season 1 foreshadowing to the Final Season Endgame Part 1


Potential Spoilers Below



These are Season 1 scenes that I believe will have a foreshadowing to the Final season

1.       Preparing Bran to meet “Death”. 


-       Bran will use this moment as well as the death of his mentor the 3EC in coming up with a plan to face and have a chance to defeat the Night King

-          Per an interview Benioff tell us what the Night King is after:

"I don’t think of him as evil, I think of him as Death,” Benioff told EW. “And that’s what he wants — for all of us. It’s why he was created and that’s what he’s after.”


2.       King coming down our road


-     Will the boys mother tell him something similar to what Bran was told?  Maybe she uses Bran as an example of not climbing walls.

3.       Is Tyrion Lann the Clever


-          He says it himself
-          Lady Olenna says it to Dany about him



4.  When they write the histories the reign that began that day won’t be that of Viserys but that of Daenerys.  Dany definitely will go down in the history books and Sam will most likely write it.



5.       Will Sansa become Queen?


-       I used to think this was true but after I watched this episode, I think she won’t be now.  Below is why I thought she would be:



6.    The Wall isn’t going anywhere


-        That’s exactly why it won’t exist after the last book is written

7.       Is this what happens if the Night King wins?



8.    Cersei tells us her first child was a fighter.  Gendry refers to himself as a fighter also and he looks just like King Robert according to everyone who knew Robert in his youth.


-      This is a TV show concept only.  I think it will help add legitimacy to the Arya and Gendry relationship that isn’t shown in the books.  When Robert made the following statement, it will in the end be about Arya and not Sansa


-        This flips Sansa and Arya’s roles if this is true.  Arya will marry Gendry and they will become King and Queen. 

-          Ned calls Arya a lady and she protests that she doesn’t want to be a lady


Well in the books the rest of the conversation goes like this:

After a while, Father said, “I don’t suppose it matters, truly.” He looked down gravely at the sword in his hands. “This is no toy for children, least of all for a girl. What would Septa Mordane say if she knew you were playing with swords?”

“I wasn’t playing,” Arya insisted. “I hate Septa Mordane.”

“That’s enough.” Her father’s voice was curt and hard. “The septa is doing no more than is her duty, though gods know you have made it a struggle for the poor woman. Your mother and I have charged her with the impossible task of making you a lady.”

“I don’t want to be a lady!” Arya flared.

“I ought to snap this toy across my knee here and now, and put an end to this nonsense.”

“Needle wouldn’t break,” Arya said defiantly, but her voice betrayed her words.

“It has a name, does it?” Her father sighed. “Ah, Arya. You have a wildness in you, child. ‘The wolf blood,’ my father used to call it. Lyanna had a touch of it, and my brother Brandon more than a touch. It brought them both to an early grave.” Arya heard sadness in his voice; he did not often speak of his father, or of the brother and sister who had died before she was born. “Lyanna might have carried a sword, if my lord father had allowed it. You remind me of her sometimes. You even look like her.”

“Lyanna was beautiful,” Arya said, startled. Everybody said so. It was not a thing that was ever said of Arya.

“She was,” Eddard Stark agreed, “beautiful, and willful, and dead before her time.” He lifted the sword, held it out between them. “Arya, what did you think to do with this … Needle? Who did you hope to skewer? Your sister? Septa Mordane? Do you know the first thing about sword fighting?”

-       Because of Cersei’s prophecy and Ned saying Arya was beautiful she will then go on to be the one to replace her as queen.  This they don’t tell you in the TV show because it may give too much away.

Queen you shall be, the old woman had promised, with her lips still wet and red and glistening, until there comes another, younger and more beautiful, to cast you down and take all that you hold dear.

-       I wrote about Gendry and Arya as a couple in February 2016 because they were based upon IMO on Perrin and Faile.  Click here to go to that article.  If you simply do a search for TWOT: Perrin and Faile and go to that section and read it.  Then search for ASOIAF: Who will be Gendry’s Faile? goes into why Gendry and Arya will be together.  This article goes on to explain why Gendry would be the one to go on to make weapons to fight the White Walkers search for the section TWOT: Perrin creates a power-wrought weapon

9.       Winterfell is yours.

-     Sansa then becomes Lord of Winterfell.  And the reason why both she and Ned said the following


-          Ned said it to King Robert
-          Sansa says it to Queen Daenerys

-      Sansa who wanted nothing more than become queen and go to King’s Landing.  Now she see’s she had everything she ever wanted at home and will become the Lord of Winterfell.

-      Sansa will become just like the character Egwene that she is based upon who lead the White Tower in “The Last Battle”.  You can read about that battle in this article if you didn’t read it before:



10.   A thanks in jest will become heartfelt this time around


-       Jaime will have to eat crow this time around when he shakes Jon Snow’s hand.  He will have to ask to join his elite force of fighter that have come together to defend the Seven Kingdoms and the world.

11.   I think both King Robert and Ned, along with others who have died, will fight in the war to come.


-          I have thought this for some time and here is what I wrote about it:



12.   I swear by the “old gods and the new”

-        For sometime now I have believed that Bran Stark is the old god.  In the first season the same way they showed book readers that R+L=J in an easter egg; I think they did the same thing with Bran and when it comes to the “old gods


-        You can see what I wrote that backs this up in the following articles:




When I get time, I will go through the rest of Season 1 to see how I believe they will relate to the final season.  But as always, I think everything about this show relates back to the Wheel of Time and the following concept:

Laura Wilson:
What about this notion of time as a wheel? Is that your idea?

Robert Jordan:
No. It's not mine. It is from Hindu mythology that time is a wheel. But actually, most eastern cultures believed that time was circular. The Greeks gave us the great gift of believing that time was linear. And that's a great gift because if time is circular, if everything repeats in cycles, then change is impossible. No matter what you do, it's always going to come back to what is here. But if time is linear, then change is possible. But I wanted the circularity because I wanted, again, to go into the changes by distance. So, the myths and legends and a few of the stories that these people tell, well, some of them are based on our own current events, on the present. What they are doing is based on our myths and legends. So they are the source of our myths and legends, and we are the source of theirs.

Comments encouraged.  Love to hear the idea’s of others.  Most believe that since I present my idea’s as “fact like” I’m not open to change my viewpoints which is far from the truth.  I simply look at the information presented and go from there.  If you can shine a light on another way of thinking that opens the door to debate.

  1. What I forgot to add is the question if Bran is the "Old gods" did he create the "New gods"?
