GoT: And then I realized… Oh, snap!
There are a lot of things that differ the famous Game of Thrones series from real life. First, the contemporary society would not tolerate so much “kings” in one small land. Real Lannisters would simply drop some nuclear bomb on other candidates (and everyone around them — just in case) and that would be it. No other people, no problems. Second, Jon Snow (or whatever his real name is) would be either something blue-eyed or a pile of ashes now. And last but not least, we wouldn't have to wait for the end of an intercourse for almost two years… Anyway, at least we have a plenty of time to fabricate tons of fanfictions, conspiracies and useless hypothetical theories.
So let's look at the last thing we have seen. The White Walker. One, two, hundreds, thousands… And the Lord of Light knows what they really want. There are two strange things about them (beyond “negligible” facts such as they are dead and nevertheless they can walk, their eyes are so blue it almost hurts my obsession for blue color and it is almost impossible to kill them — like I said, odds and ends). They bring strange cold with them, thanks to which everything around them freezes (probably even the ocean — so nice try, Euron), that's the first thing. And the second? Some of them can bring dead ones back to “life” with just a hand movement. The thing is, nobody has ever revealed something like “expiration date”… So could they bring back to life a person who is dead for — let's say — a hundred years?

And here we got to the “oh, snap” point… How would you like to see ALL characters from the beginning to the end of Game of Thrones series in the one last final battle?
OK, for example our little Ygritte is probably lost forever, but what about precious Ned Stark? (Do you miss him, too?) The series told nothing about it, but according to book, his head was mounted back to his body with a piece of iron right after his violent death, so it makes sense. And what about Joffrey, that blonde son of a… Cersei? Any chance he could take revenge on his murderer, also already dead (?) Olenna Tyrell? (Probably the only Tyrell who could be brought back to life, by the way… It seems like it is true that the second mightiest house in Westeros always end very badly. And what about you, Rains — any tastes for revenge?)
What would you say? Almost every fan of Game of Thrones had a favorite character that already (often very surprisingly) died (even myself but the difference is that my favorite character was already resurrected — greetings, Sandor!). Wouldn't it be nice to see all of them for one last time? Well, that's the question! Because since we do not know to what extent brains of white walkers — former living people — are wiped out, it is hard to tell what would our beloved characters be like. And while it seems like resurrection power of the Red God and that of the Night King are total opposites, I would say it's better not to play with fire.
So even thought it could be a very interesting plot twist, this one would probably take more than one last season (that will contain only six episodes). Anyway, until our kind creators of Game of Thrones decide to reveal all their secrets, we can think and think and think — but we will all be just a piles of Jon Snow… We'll know nothing.
