Warning: Contains stabby spoilers for Game of Thrones Season 8, episode three.
The Battle of Winterfell seemed to divide a lot of Game of Thrones fans. Plenty of people loved it. Others thought it was a bit disappointing. Some basically couldn't see it.
But despite your thoughts about the episode itself, one thing seems pretty easy to agree on: the outcome was certainly a surprising one.
Many people were expecting the Night King -- who had been built up to be the show's ultimate adversary -- to triumph at the battle. Not many predicted how, or when, he'd die.
Or did they?
Yep: it turns out at least one Redditor basically hit the nail on the head -- and they made their prediction a year ago.
Here's their theory in full:
Okay, so that stuff about the dragonglass is unconfirmed. But everything else -- from Arya killing the Night King with the dagger to Bran knowing it was going to happen -- is pretty much bang on.
Outstanding work.
