TV rivivals are all the rage at the moment, and given HBO is looking to expand on the works of George RR Martin with five (!!) Potential spinoffs it's clear they are not done with Thrones yet. If in the years to come it was announced that a new season of the main show is coming as an epilogue / bonus season, I'd actually be hugely excited and welcome it with open arms.
I know the show lost it a little by the end, but there's a lot of people (myself included) who enjoyed most of not all of the show, despite it's flaws. Some of the decisions in the final episode certainly left me with questions, but I don't think that's a bad thing, and definitely think it opens up more storylines in the future.
I think on a practical level it could work also. Many of the major stars who would most likely not want to return are out of the picture, a lot of the side characters and younger cast members are still around and have time to appear again, or in Peter Dinklage's (and other remaining big stars) case, a chance for top billing and lots of juicy screentime that maybe they didn't get towards the end of the show.
I don't think it would really feel out of place either - there's still a lot of loose ends, and it feels like there is room for expansion with a time-jump to explore the new world and see the aftermath of the show. I think it would really allow for some redemption also, working towards explaining some of the more baffling choices in Season Eight.
Some of my initial thoughts about things a Season 9 can explore - * In general, how is Bran as king? Given he's such an odd choice, it would be really interesting to see how such a person/being has fared, as well as how the general people react to him. * Is the North still independent? How do the other kingdoms react to that, and Bran allowing it to happen? Does Sansa have an heir or does she rule alone? * Who is the new prince of Dorne? And did Ellaria die for good? * has Bran managed to keep peace in the Reach after Highgarden was given to Bronn above other noble houses? * was Drogon ever found, and if so, what was done about him? * Did the Iron Islands stay Loyal to Bran, after being promised independence by Daenerys? * What became of Mereen? Did Daario/the second sons remain in control, or was the city taken back? * Has the night's watch been reformed, and is the wall permanently broken?
In general I'd love to see what became of Sam Jr, Gendry, Meera, Robin Arryn and other minor characters, to see what they've been upto this whole time.
Would you be open to another suprise season? And if six what plotlines would you like to see resolved? Go crazy.
