I don't think so. An interesting idea but there is not enough time left to make the fall of the wall Bran foreshadowing. Only 6 episodes in the last season. The wall has to be down for the story to move forward fast enough.
The more interesting question about Bran is, will his ability to affect the past in his visions play some role in the coming war.

OK...just wrapped up Season 7 for the second time. My take on the very end...just spiff-balling here. We know Bran, as the 3-eyed Raven, can see the past, present, and future. Is it possible that what he's "seeing" at the end of the season finale is actually the future and the wall is still intact? Just trying to think outside the obvious and what may be a "dream"...

Just started my rewatch of season 7 in anticipation of the final season. Through 2 episodes so far.
Spoilers below.
Seeing the Sand Snakes die was great. They were portrayed as petulant children the whole time and they got what they deserved at the hands of Euron.
Theon's PTSD is well portrayed as he abandons his sister to Euron.

Yeah...you're right. I re-watched the season 8 trailers again and surmised it wasn't foreshadowing. Hmmm...didn't know there were only going to be 6 episodes. They're gonna have to crank up this story FAST!! Of course each episode skips ahead months in time, as I'm sure it takes that long to get from Winterfell all the way down to Dragonstone.
On a side note, I wonder what Sam's reaction will be when he finds out Daenerys BBQ'd his father and brother. I'm sure there's no love lost for his father, but he might have some issues with his brother being placed on the torching block. On the plus side, Horn Hill is now all his...This message has been edited. Last edited by: erj_pilot,

Probably the most disappointing of the series, is the poor development of the Dornish outside of Oberyn Martell. While the books don't go too deep into the Southern kingdom either, the Sand sisters were reduced to a trio bratty adolescents.

Euron is well acted to be supremely arrogant and a little bit off. It will be fun to see him get his just reward. Who will it be? Theon? Jaime? Cersei?
I enjoyed Olenna's final little FU to Jaime and Cersei only after she drank the poison.
I thought the Dornish and Highgarden storylines ended a bit too abruptly. They were too easily defeated but I guess the writers wanted to whittle away Danaerys' advantages and establish the Lannisters as at least competent.

In the novels, Highgarden and the Iron Isles are the most boring parts of the story. They were made much more interesting in the series.

I never truly understood the phrase "love to hate" until I saw Littlefinger. We couldn't have him scheming in the upcoming battle(s) but I will miss him.
