It’s fascinating how we are a handful of months away from the One Year Anniversary of the ‘Game of Thrones’ series finale, and yet there is still news coming out about the storied series, and, in this case, its author. George R.R. Martin has recently claimed that he is  FINALLY finishing the ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’ series of novels, concluding the book series that birthed ‘Game of Thrones,’ and finally giving fans of the novels some closure on a great number of storylines and characters that were not featured on the HBO show. Not only that, but Martin may be tweaking how it all ends for the characters we do know and love now that he has seen the reaction to the ‘Game of Thrones’ finale.

According Martin himself in a recent interview with the German newspaper Welt:

“People know an ending — but not the ending.”

Of course, this could just mean some slight adjustments and further explanations for how it all ends, as showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss were clearly following some kind of blueprint from Martin, and I highly doubt the novels will not include Daenerys turning tyrannical and, well, evil in the end, especially since Martin worked so closely with the HBO show. Plus, the novels have many foreshadowing moments and other hints about her dark side and potential to turn down a bad path, with subtle moments and thoughts that the show itself never seemed to pick up on (part of why her descent into villainy was so shocking to the audience).

At one point, Martin was asked whether ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’ could ever be turned into a movie or the final season be redone in an epic movie finale for the series, but sadly, Martin replied:

“At this point in time, it wouldn’t be for me to decide, because HBO controls the film rights for ‘Game of Thrones’… David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, the two creators behind the series, actually wanted to end the saga after the seventh season with three big movies… Four or five years ago, it was seriously discussed… [Then] The executives said: ‘We produce TV shows, we are not in the cinema business.’”

What are your thoughts on how Martin could change the ending in the novels? Are there any characters or storylines from the novels that you are especially excited to see return in the new books? Feel free to share your theories and opinions in the comments below!

With the premiere of ‘Westworld’ Season 3 only a few short weeks away (March 15th!), fans have been ravenous for new information and new footage from the upcoming season. HBO realizes this hunger hence why “hidden trailers” keep popping up over the internet with the newest ones being found in a viral website called “Incite, Inc.,” a fictional website for a company within the ‘Westworld’ universe.

At this point, we have 4 trailers for the series, the first being the official trailer from HBO with the ‘Sweet Child of Mine’ music at the end that most people have seen thanks to the standard promotion from the network.

Next we have two new trailers (to be clear, a lot of these do have the same visuals, with only a handful of new clips, voice-over, and dialogue, though the music is mostly different in each) called ‘Free Will Is Not Free’ and ‘Your World,’ which maintain the serious tone of the original HBO trailer though they do not have the ‘Sweet Child of Mine’ song in them, even though one of them uses all the same footage from that montage.

The craziest trailer by far is called “When Caleb Met Dolores,’ as it focuses on Aaron Paul’s Caleb character and his relationship with Dolores, teasing the season as a kind of romantic comedy. This is just twisted enough to be kind of hilarious when you see the trailer and see Evan Rachel Wood and Aaron Paul delivering these lines so seriously and nothing like a romantic comedy.

With all of these trailers out there, especially since they were so elaborately “hidden,” it stands to reason that the show may already be dropping hints for the audience. Did you spot something in the footage that may be a clue as to the end game for this season? Could the trailer themselves be part of some bigger puzzle/ clue about the themes for this season? Check them all out again and then feel free to share any insights you may have in the upcoming season in the comments section below!
