Game of Thrones Open Thread!

Game of Thrones Open Thread! July 7, 2015

I found myself on the edge of my seat as Game of Thrones season 5 wrapped up last month. What were the producers going to change from the book? How were they going to resolve certain storylines? And first on everyone’s list of concerns, what was going to happen to Sansa?! Unfortunately, the finale opened more questions than it offered answers—is anyone else dying to know what actually happened to Jon?

One thing I find really fascinating about Game of Thrones are the theories spun by the series’ fan base about how the story is going to be resolved. Of course, none of us know for sure, because the remaining books have yet to be published or even (frighteningly) completely written! (Please, G. R. R. Martin, do not die! Some of us really really really want to see you finish this series and end this suspense!)

And so I give you this open thread. Who are you rooting for? What criticism do you have? What did you think about the way the fifth season wrapped up? What did the producers do well, and where did they miss the mark? What fan theories do you subscribe to? Do you buy the theory that Jon is the son of Rheagar and Lyanna? What do you think of the theory that the Others are not in fact the bad guys they have been portrayed as? Do you have any pet theories of your own? Let us know!

This thread will almost certainly be rife with spoilers. Proceed at your own risk!
