So my wife and I had finished binging for a 3rd time when she came up with a theory/end scene that would've saved the show; or at least lessen the bitter taste of season 8.
Okay, SPOILER starts here.
So at the end we got Dany going mad and killing everyone before eventually succumbing to the sweet embrace if eternity herself. Whether or not the going mad was warranted is a discussion long past so I'm not going to address that. We're gonna add this scene as if everything happened how it did.
So after the credits the black screen fades into a sheep running up a rocky incline. It stops every now and then to munch on grass, but immediately runs off when it's Shepard gets close (,who is revealed when the sheep moves a second time). The camera shows a wide shot of the sheep running to the top of this cliff and into what looks like a cave. The Shepard, who's clothes are ragged and old, hesitantly enters the cave as he wouldn't be able to afford another if he lost her. He creeps through the dark cavern and gets scared at the bellowing sound of a growl coming from around the corner. As scared as he was, he made his way around the corner to see a most terrifying sight: a giant living, breathing dragon. Larger than even the building his family calls home, the massive black creature raises it's massive head and looks directly at the man. Despite his terror, he is unable to leave so he observes his surroundings. Nestled on Drogon's body is the skeleton of a small woman, her platinum hair still laying atop it's skull. A bit further from the selection is a small pile of stones, all shaped the exact same: like a large scaly egg. Strangely, the dragon didn't incinerate him and turn him into the blackened charred corpses like the ones paying around him.
Why I loved her theory was because not only did it show Drogon still loved Dany, but it showed the dragons were not extinct/ going extinct when Drogon died. On top of that, it almost comes from circle from thousands of years ago when the Valaryians, who were all a simple Shepard community, first discovered dragons and their eggs and went on to conquer the known world/ build the most advanced city ever in existence. Perhaps this shepard was actually a decendant from a Valaryian and is now about to lead to the development of the here generation's Dragon Riders.
It's just a theory and probably not was m what GRRM planned but for me, that would've saved the series :) let me know what you think
