re: Am I the only one pulling for the Night King?

So how mad are you going to be when in the books it's still Arya that killa the NK and still Bran that ends up King? Will you be smarter than GRRM then?

I don't think he'll finish the books. He might finish the next one, but the one where these things will have been revealed are, sadly, years and years away.

Similarly, I don't think many people actually have a problem with the who, it's more the how. d&d also tacitly admitted that "they" decided it in one of the 'making of' episodes where they said: "We had decided Arya would kill the Night King three years ago."

"We" obviously wasn't Martin because he had already peaced out from giving the series direction and it was fully d&d's project.

It may very well go the same direction by some stroke of luck/fortune, but if you think it's essentially going to be Arya warp ninja'ing 50 feet and killing the Night King 1 on 1, you might be disappointed.

Just to finish up with the question: Bran being king in the show is ridiculous because he's basically been a giant potato the entire time. Barely talks, almost never expresses himself deeply, doesn't really "want" anything and has very little interaction for years. Again, I think Bran would be very different in the book.
