Did 'The Outpost' Season 3 finale have a White Walker ripoff? Fans ask 'who's the Game of Thrones-like dead guy?'

'The Outpost' Season 3 did not just have a bittersweet ending, it has very carefully paved the way for Season 4 by setting up what look like key character introductions

Spoilers for Season 3 Episode 13 finale of 'The Outpost' 

After a hard-hitting episode full of drama, intrigue, mystery and suspense, 'The Outpost' Season 3 finally came to an end. The battle with Yavalla (Jaye Griffiths) is now over for good. But that was not before the loss of countless lives of important characters that now leave the future of the storyline uncertain. Fans of the show can predict nothing of what 'The Outpost' has in store except simply looking forward to new episodes. At the end of Season 3, Gwynn's (Imogen Waterhouse) death left fans heartbroken — now who would rule over the Outpost and the realm justly?

The people unanimously elect Talon (Jessica Green) for the job. Fans of the show were left heartbroken and emotional after the bittersweet finale (a thrilling episode at that) that saw the death of beloved characters. "So. Many. Chills when they kneel!! #theoutpost," a fan tweeted. "I can say, without any hesitation, that was my favorite season finale out of any tv show I've watched over the past few years. Even if my heart is *shattered* #TheOutpost #Blackbloods," another added.

Fans were especially sad at the loss of Gwynn - Talon and her friendship was definitely one of the highlights of the show. "Talon and Gwynn are absolutely breaking me. I’ve always loved their moments and this one is the best. #theoutpost," a fan tweeted. 

But 'The Outpost' Season 3 did not just have a bittersweet ending, it has very carefully paved the way for Season 4 by setting up what looks like key character introductions. The black kinj and the white kinj destroyed each other leading to the deaths of the bearers Gwynn and Yavalla respectively. But now it looks like this destruction has brought on more evil — the gods are unleashed, it is pointed out. And fans are left every bit intrigued. 

"What a season finale! I am so glad season 3b or season 4, whatever is, is already in production because I think I might die if things ended like this. What an amazing season by writers, directors, actors, & all the crew. Superlative job! Thank you! #TheOutpost #TheOutpostSeries," a fan tweeted. 

Others are asking the more important questions. "@JakeStormoen but who is this Game of Thrones-like dead Guy from the grave? I can't believe the episode is over... what a blast!!!#TheOutpost #Blackbloods." Truth be told, he did look like a White Walker ripoff. The season ended on a montage of the black and white kinjs traveling across the globe and attaching themselves on the heads of two mummified bodies — these must be the aforementioned gods. What the hell are they going to unleash now?

Official release dates of the upcoming episodes are not yet revealed, but with the show already scoring an early renewal ahead of Season 3 airing, it is now only a matter of time.
