Wasn't expecting that dragon death though. They got me good on that one. This season definitely feels more rushed but that's to be expected since its only 6 episodes. Gotta say Sansa pissed me off though and I kinda hope she doesn't make it now.
I'm in a GoT pool and picked Gendry to end up on the Iron Throne before the season. I hope you're right. I've long since wondered if Gendry is the kid Cersei thinks died at birth.
In the books it was very evident he was the child of a postitute and lived at the brothel until Ned Stark found him.
I picked the little Lyanna girl to sit on the throne. Then she got killed by a giant.
So...now I'm going with Tyrion. He makes more sense now than any of the others. He's wise and shrewd and pragmatic and the crowd favorite.
I got this horrible feeling that Jon and Dany both get killed. I hope not, but Dany's obvioulsy losing it and Jon will do anything for her, even die.
Jaime kills Cersei, even though she's carrying his baby. Got a feeling it's a Kamakazi thing, though, so he's out. He only left the Amazon blonde because he knows he's the only one that can get close enough to her to do her in. Think of Wolverine killing Jean Grey in the Xmen movies.
The big nerd guy stays up in the north with his wife and kids, so he's out.
The Iron Fleet guy goes kabasso when he finds out the baby is not his and Cersei has the big mountain Zombie guy kill him
Arya has done blew her load killing the Night King, but she does get to kill the Assassin mercenary guy in a thrilling assassin vs assassin battle. Then she rides back to the north and marries Gendry and rules by his side.
The hound guy dies saving Sansa, right after he kills his brother (the mountain guy)
Bran has already been possessed by the spirit of the NIght King....that's one of the four spinoffs HBO has planned.
Brienne rules the armies of the North under Gendry and Arya, and sets up the spinoff of the next Zombie war with Bran and his new and improved Zombies army
Davos rules the armies of Kings landing under Sansa and Tyrion.
One of the dragons is pregnant and has already laid eggs, which we find out about after it dies.....they will hatch out and give us three more dragons for the new dragon queen.....who is gonna be...????
Sansa marries Tyrion and rules as his queen
That's my story...and I'm sticking to it.
Here's a nutty theory I heard today...
Arya and the Hound have already made it to Kings Landing
Arya has killed Cersei and taken her face
Arya does not like Dany and kills Missandei to get her to go all mad queen
This will allow Jon to take the throne
Whoa....that will be a very unsatisfying ending to the viewers, unless they go back and show a very detailed killing of Cersei. The fanbase wants to see her bite it in a big, big way.
Unless they were on rocket-powered horses, not sure how they beat Dany's armada down to King's Landing.
I originally thought Arya was going to kill Cersei wearing someone else's face but I think she's already had her climax (no, not talking about Gendry) with her assassination of the Night King. She'll play a supporting role but the actual killing will fall to Jaime or Tyrion, probably Jaime.
I don’t believe believe said theory I thought it was interesting though
Interesting that you're discounting Arya. Only because, why else (from a writer's point of view) are they sending her to Kings Landing? Just as a side note? Doesn't seem worth the effort. I'm not predicting either way that she kills Cersei, but I'm sure she's going to play a big role in some part of the story. Personal guess is that she kills Dany after Dany turns on Jon.
Operating on your premise that each character gets one "highlight kill", I think that leaves Dany or Jaime to kill Cersei. Although, Dany has kills a lot of people.
Arya - Night King. I still think it's possible because of the "green eyes" prophecy though.
Tyrion - His dad
Jon - All interest in his character (Seriously, since his resurrection, what has he done besides bang is hot aunt?)
Hound - he's after his brother
Grey Worm - ???? Doubtful, but after last week, I can't rule it out.
Jaime - Brianne's heart (Side note, totally thought of this American classic when Jaime slept with Brianne https://youtu.be/x4utH5uWK6c?t=111 )
I'll go out on a limb and predict Grey Worm to kill Cersei.
Wait, what? There's rocket powered horses? See nobody tells me this stuff!
I think that even if she doesn't do much more than be part of a buddy-cop routine with the Hound, she'd have to go. At this point, it'd be out of character for her to kick back and chill (literally and figuratively) at Winterfell while all this action is going down at King's Landing. Especially since her favorite faux-brother Jon is in the middle of it.
Hot takes: I preface these by saying that I have enjoyed the last two episodes mostly but I know this one is going to get killed online.
The show is what it is at this point. All the elaborate theories are just that. I find myself reading too much into little things expecting a twist. There probably will be one more attempt to shock us but really the DDs don’t deserve their rep of coming up with “shockers”: Ned, the Red Wedding, the Jon reveals....all Martin or ideas of book fans/things he’s hinted at.
In terms of plot it’s a different show. Ever since they completely went past George’s work or even ideas the overall plot has been basic as hell. The action is good and like the good TV writers they are the one on one or character driven scenes are good. But they are so far NOT epic overall.
Speaking of George. I don’t like giving him credit and think his last couple of books in the series were way too unfocused but Benioff and Weiss don’t hold a candle to his scale of plot. As @Kasey theorized: you do start to wonder if he’s either planning on releasing more books in his own mind or if he just doesn’t GAF anymore. Obviously he’s got plenty of financial reasons to go along. But remember how we used to hear that he was sharing notes/ideas with the show still? Don’t anymore that I’ve heard.
Jon and Dany. Either bad writing or actors not great at showing ANY believeable interactions.
Whoever had the idea to make the LEAST interesting Greyjoy aka The worst Jack Sparrow rip-off a big part of the final season should be fired. Bad enough to see the buffoon kill a dragon last week but he truly did NOT deserve a death scene. Should have had the dragon eat/burn him and found another way to make it hard for Jaime to get to Circe for the death scene.
Was still more entertaining than anything else on now. Just wish they hadn’t doubled down on the dragons and trying to make a Hollywood blockbuster.
Other than that how was the show Mrs Lincoln?
Yup, had a back story in the books.
I really thought Yara was going to show up after they mentioned she had retaken the Iron Islands. I would have preferred that since (on the show) she and Euron had history. Jaime and Euron had no history or real reason to fight.
Kudos to the hound v mountain fight. I got out of chair for that one.
