Warning: This article contains spoilers for Game Of Thrones season eight
It has been months since Game Of Thrones season eight aired, bringing the show to an end for good, but fans are still finding interesting clues.
Bran Stark (Issac Hempstead Wright) might have dropped a hint about what Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) gets up to in the final season – way back in season four episode The Lion and the Rose.
When Bran was still trying to figure out the whole warging/Three-Eyed Raven thing, he had a vision about various events in his life, such as the Red Wedding, and him finding out about Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) and Cersei (Lena Headey) Lannister’s relationship.
One keen-eyed fan has picked up on a moment from George RR Martin’s script that mentioned a dragon looming over King’s Landing.
The scene – published in Vanity Fair – outlines Bran’s vision, and includes the line: ‘The shadow of a dragon passes across the rooftops of a great city (King’s Landing, where Bran has never been).’
Reddit user QueenSalsaFan suggested this ‘confirms that King’s Landing will be burnt by a dragon’.
Fans will remember Daenerys’ controversial decision to burn King’s Landing to the ground in season eight.
The decision made Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage) fear she would be a dangerous leader, and urged Jon Snow (Kit Harington) to do something about it.
And of course that ‘something’ meant killing her.
However other fans on Reddit disagree that the vision confirmed what was going to happen, as one user replied: ‘The vision only states that a dragon will fly over Kings Landing, not that it would burn. You may be right, but this evidence isn’t “proof”.’
Another said: ‘Is it confirmed anywhere to be Drogon? I mean it could have been a Targaryen dragon from the past as they do used to fly on KL after all, right?’
One Reddit user explained: ‘Specific bits of all of Martin’s episodes were probably rewritten by the showrunners to fit the show’s grander storylines.
‘But at this point it’s pretty clear Daenerys is going to burn King’s Landing down in the books, it’s not something D&D would be brave enough to come up with on their own and they’ve admitted to have planned this from the very start(albeit making a mess of it in the process).’
Reaction to season eight was divisive to say the least, with fan petition calling for the episodes to be remade passing a million signatures.
Game Of Thrones is available to stream on Sky Atlantic and NOW TV.
