One 'Game of Thrones' actor has a well-thought out theory for how the show will end
With "Game of Thrones" heading into its sixth season, fans are dying to learn the fates of their favorite characters. We know author George R.R. Martin has told the showrunners how the series will end, but the information ends there.
Naturally, fans have come up with their own ideas about the conclusion of the epic saga. Actor Finn Jones, who plays Loras Tyrell on the show, has some thoughts of his own.
At a New York Comic Con panel Thursday, Jones gave fans a taste of his own theory:
By "ice and fire," we assume he meant the White Walkers versus dragons - the two fantasy elements of the show. And his point about the Iron Throne being dissolved is quite clever. The throne is made from ancient Valyrian swords which belonged of the original king's enemies. According to the books, the throne is comprised of over 1,000 swords.
The audience laughed when Jones mentioned "tree people" (Ents, anyone?) but it's likely he is referring to the Children of the Forest. These are mystical tree-dwellers who, according to legend, lived in Westeros long before humans ever arrived. Bran Stark met a Child of the Forest at the end of season four, so we know they exist.
As for the good guys, Jones seems set on seeing Bran, Hodor, Brienne, and Tyrion alive at the end of it all. Whether you agree or not, you have to admit his imagination is impressive.
