Who Will Win The Game Of Thrones?

Well, it won't be the Night King.

Sorry Bill.

It was pretty obvious they weren't going the apocalypse route anyway. I stand by my original position that they all kind of suck.

Nobody is still in play. And I don't mean "I am no one."

Well, not that Night King. I'm expecting Bran's eyes to turn blue any day now.

Very cool.

Oy vey, I couldn't resist and clicked on a link that revealed spoilers for the next two episodes from historically reliable sources who had access to people making the show and spilled the beans. Oh well.

As I understand it, some scenes have been filmed with different outcomes.

That's how I understood things too.

The unborn baby that Dani is carrying with end up on the iron throne.   Tyrion is be like a father figure because Jon and Dani will both be dead.

It definitely won’t be Cercei. Arya will do her faceless man trick to get close to her and then take her out. Probably after the Hound and the Mountain kill each other.

[Vinsk]

They’ve already started the fall of Dany with the whole ‘Mad Queen’ developing. Jon doesn’t want the throne so yeah , I can see Dany and Jon dying. I wouldn’t think they’d have Arya be the hero again in killing Cersei. I think either Jamie will do it or Sansa along with Varys. 

I didn’t care for the silly action movie dragon scene where simple common sense would’ve prevented the entire catastrophe. I mean, a harpoon? Really? First ..you’re flying FFS how do you let that huge advantage fail you? Fly higher and scout the area. Yeah ok, a fleet of ships is going to sneak up on another ship when they have a dragon flying around giving Dany a view for miles and miles. And it’s not like these ships can turn on a dime. Here’s and idea; fly behind the ships FFS and roast them alive while they scurry to turn their harpoons around. Damn shame.

That was by far the most frustrating thing to me. There's no way that the ships could see them but they couldn't see the ships. Failing that, she could have easily swooped around behind them faster than they could have adjusted and blasted them all to ashes instead of the dumb frontal dive. The second. less egregious error was why didn't Missandei just grab Cersei and jump off the wall? She knew she was going to die, she could have just taken Cersei out with her. All that said, it would be a decent twist for Jaime to come in and kill her in order to try to right all the wrongs he did for her through the years.

While I've thoroughly enjoyed the show, I feel the same about it as I do about the MCU movies. I'm just ready for the end.

That works for me. Maybe... not so spoiled then.

I was figuring it would be Arya's unborn child.

She knew that Cersei had plot armor that was too strong for that to work.

I had the same thought.

Jon is already dead, and what is dead may never die 😜

I'm half expecting his "gift" to expire at any moment now, since we don't really know for what purpose R'hllor brought him back.

Plot device, lazy writing, call it what you will. Unfortunately the series (and the books, as well) is filled with questionable decisions or events that occur for the sake of a plot point rather than being an organic progression.

Why didn't Cersei just blast Dani and the Unsullied to smithereens with the ballistae on the fortifications? There's no way in hell they were out of range and we know those things have pinpoint accuracy 😜

The queenslayer theory has been pretty well established for a long time now, probably just as prominent as R+L=J. It would be a better twist if they didn't go that route IMO.

[Vinsk]

Oh what the hell....how about Arya and Sansa survive and wait for Arya’s son to take over the throne. Meanwhile Bran wanders off to a distant land where they show his eyes turn blue....done.
