It has been confirmed that the popular HBO fantasy television series "Game of Thrones" will not be returning until 2019. However, some news outlets have reported that some of the scripts have already been leaked, which gives fans a glimpse of what they can expect from the show next season. Specifically, the alleged scripts, if they are authentic, provide one page of scripts from each episode of the upcoming season. 

As it turns out, the scripts have been leaked on Reddit, which show a transcript from an encounter between Tyrion Lannister, played by Peter Dinklage, and Bronn of the Blackwater, played by Jerome Flynn -- wherein Tyrion attempts to engage the latter in a conversation to discuss the pay Jaime Lannister, played by Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, promised to the mercenary. Naturally, Tyrion catches Bronn's attention and is tempted by what Tyrion has to say. 

This is just an example of the scripts that have been leaked on the website, but it is also important to note that they could possibly have been falsified. However, if these are from the actual HBO transcripts, they do contain major spoilers for fans of the long-running show, and could potentially ruin the experience of viewers when the final season graces television screens.

Apparently, HBO has prepared for this type of event and has previously announced that it has come up with multiple endings already for the finale to confuse leakers and fans. It is quite possible that the material that was posted came from the discarded notes of the show's creators. 

As of now, it is safe to assume that each and every cast member already knows, or has an idea, on how the show is going to conclude. And although they are obviously not allowed to give even the tiniest of details away, especially so early before the season 8 premiere, Kit Harrington, who plays Jon Snow, has expressed the sadness he feels about the show nearly coming to a close.
