Heres

Lets think of ways season 8 Could have been worse!

Sam at the ends decides to give up his Measter job give the grandmaester title to Ebrose and join Jon up at the wall. Kinda forgetting he has a wife and kid now.
Rickon and Hodor are somehow resurrected during the battle of winterfell (stabbed throuigh the heart with dragonglass like Benjen) Hodor now can talk atall and does nothing and Rickon is essentially another bran and is just as overlooked as ever before He is still treated like a white and his main job is to Bathe Bran
While were on the subject of Bran 2.0/Undead Rickon there iss a Scean in Ep4 which fetures a naked bran and a naked zombie Rickon (who is still rotting from the inside and it fetures them just telling each other completely roboticly about how they "missed" each other and wished their sisters would get on better, this is all done in front of a disturbed Maester Wolkan
Grey Worm is shown getting killed by Butterflies his skin falls off and dogs come to hump his corpse
Brienne is Revaled to be pregnant and Before the End of the Series dies in Childbirth the LC position is given to Blackfish who shows up alive with Zero explanation
Howland Reed appears played by Richard Armatidge he explains Meera died of Frostbite on the way back home
Sansa marries Gawen Glover played by Kodi-Shimt McPhee he is apparently stabbed to death by wights but is revealed to be alive with just a bandage.
Leo Tyrell Shows up he helps fight the Whits he is still not chosen as Lord of the Reach but like Jon He dun wunnit
Edmure arrests Jason Mallister (the captain from the episode "no-one" who amperes to fight with Jon and Dany is tired for treason for not helping Edmure) he is executed by wheel
Yara Greyjoy is killed in a trial by combat (Her head ripped off in graphic fashion) by Edward Greyjoy Eurons never talked about before son played by Robert Patterson who is crowned the New King Greyjoy he explains Arya sent him because she was suspicious of Yara because she threatened to kill Jon also at the gathering after Bran is crowned king she kicks him out of his chair and beats him up because she is just like Dany. Bran wargs into yara and Punches herself in face.
Oh and for whatever reason a Poster of Blake Livley appears on the wall of the Council room where Tyrion fixes chairs
OK those are my ideas what its yours
