Nothing brings out the snob in me faster than dumbGame of Thronesfan theories.
At their best, they get a huh, maybe.
At their worst, they inspire in me an irrational level of anger: Arya isnt secretly the Waif!
Hot Pie isnt the key to the battle against the White Walkers!
The Night King isntusing Winterfell as a diversion so he can attack Kings Landing!
These theories add an additional level of intellectual drama to the proceedings.
Everything is all right, the struggle is finished.
I have won the victory over myself.
I loveGame of Thronesfan theories.
Why did this theory do it for me, when so many others failed?
Its badass.
It does not involve viewers outsmarting the characters.
Of course we are were real and theyre fake!
Instead, this theory rewards our heroes for putting their trust in Winterfell and the Stark legacy.
It actually fits with the themes of George R.R.
It fits too with Martins influences.
So there you have it, the one goodGame of Thronesfan theory.
Now I have to wait around like everyone else to see if it comes true.
Im an average theory nerd.
I get to live the rest of this season like a schnook.
