I read the whole thing and I'm unconvinced they wouldn't end it that way. It's never been my point. I keep saying they cannot be leaks. Why so thick today? Why do you think they cannot be leaks? They may well have drawn up an outline of future seasons, it was at or near the end of season five that it was announced there would only be 13 more episodes. As of that moment you know the showrunners had at least a rough outline of how the series would end. A secret can remain unknown to the world if two people know it, provided one is a corpse. Otherwise there's going to be a chance for a leak. I'd rather you were right about this, it's just that bluster and insults aren't going to change my mind. A rational and/or insightful post might, but I've yet to see one from you on this topic. |

No one would do that, they would just pass on the original material. and you would see copies of it posted everywhere long before some "kind soul" would reformulate them on a blog.

Leaking the original material might well lead the showrunners back to the leaker, there's definite reasons not to do it that way. |

Leaking the original material might well lead the showrunners back to the leaker, there's definite reasons not to do it that way. If it came from a brief outline, what you saw is a fan's elaboration of it and not a leak. But why should a "brief outline" be passed along to people in the first place? It has no function as such. It could only leak if stolen directly from the writers, assuming it even exists. |

Oftentimes TV shows will have someone outline a plot and others write the actual script with the dialogue etc from the plot they're given. That's why if you look at credits for shows you'll often see a different credit for the plot and the script. That's what it looked like it might have been generated from, a general plot to the season and each episode they then have the scriptwriters work from. It could be nonsense and that's what I'm hoping too, but the reasons I've seen given to discredit it haven't falsified the above possibility in my view. |

The theoretical possibility exists, like that of winning the lottery. These "leaks", however, are the work of people spreading their own fiction as click-bait. |
