Grey Worm and Jon to do battle now. Ought to be epic.


That what one of the first things I thought off after GW attacked the Lannister army after they threw down their swords


Arya is going to take out Dany some how..maybe disguised as GW, after GW battles Jon Snow and ends up shishkabobed with his own pike

Naw...Drogon survives and Dani gets killed by a flying scorpion bolt! Cersei dies and Jamie dies. The Hound probably gets killed by the Mountain in the long awaited fight on HBO, and then Arya kills the Mountain. Varys, will be executed for Treason, but how about Tyrion?

Before Dani dies, she goes all Mad Queen and fires the whole city of Kings Landing !

you guessed more of it correct than I did

What set Dany off was after the bells rang she saw all of the Ravens flying to the Red Keep. I'm guessing she figured it was news of Jon Snow's true identity. So, she already saw how much people loved Jon up North and figures the people of Westeros will want him also, so F 'm all. If she can't rule it, then no one can.


It will be interesting to see if Dany orders Drogon to kill Jon. Jon is a Targearyon. Would a Drogon kill him? Could he tell it no? If he said Dracarys, would it burn Dany?


It was odd too see the once formidable ballista be so useless. At least it was more realistic this time. Those things were huge. How could anyone possible swing them around in time to shoot a flying dragon? They liked like they'd weigh half a ton.


Euron appearing just as Jamie reached the dinghy was too convenient. But I felt that Jamie and Cercei's death was fitting. The Red Keep was a symbol of their power. Having it all come down on their heads was good symbolism. Their entire empire was destroyed and they were buried by it.

And what of the Dothraki who took a heavy toll in the North? They came all that way for what? They should be pissed.

And when Dany asked Jon, "Is that all I am to you?". It Would have been funny if he said , "No, your my auntie as well". I know the incest topic was no issue with scum like Jamie and Cercei, but Jon, pure as the driven Snow, wouldn't be the type to be okay with it imo.

Really curious to see if Bronn shows back up. The actor said before season that he figured people were really going to hate him this season. Wonder if he’s still got a role or if he was just talking. He would be the perfect fit for Dany’s new regime. Ruthless but loyal to those who benefit him the most. And as he said, dragons are a damn good benefit. I could see him sniping someone to protect Dany.

He would also be the perfect person to kill Tyrion which would make a lot of people hate him.

Did anyone else realize that Varys was trying to poison Danny in the beginning of the episode? I missed it completely - but thats what the little girl was saying about her not eating for 2 days. "keep trying"

Cersei needed a better death. We are sure she is dead right?

Well, it totally ignored the prophecy, so yeah, I agree.

The idea that Arya didn't deal with Cersei and it was just a "huddle with my brother husband until the bricks smash me" was beyond weak.

Does George RR Martin not have a phone? Is he thus far unwilling to share notes?

Seriously, when these guys do their next project on HBO, unless they are doing someone else's writing... I'll just pass.

I totally missed it, but that makes sense.

If he knew he was going to be killed, why though did he burn his note? Maybe the name of the receiver was on it?

Here's the problem with Cersei's death.

"A Lannister ALWAYS pays their debts."

Well... Cersei had a massive debt incurred with cruelty after cruelty. Not saying that dying by brick avalanche is fun, but it's quick. She barely had time to realize that she wasn't going to have that fourth kid (ya know... how the prophecy said she'd have three kids and they'd all die?").

Now, had she been forced to miscarry so that her "little brother" killed her... or either Jaime or Tyrion killed her... that would have been fitting... or even Arya dressed as Jaime. As Jaime took Cersei's head in her hands, I was saying to the TV, "please be Arya! please be Arya!"

Also... why is no one talking about Arya taking the Iron Throne?

She's totally been set up to be the heroine, can take anyone left in a fight and I could see Jon Snow letting her have it if she wants it.

We'll see.

There are so many good possibilities for how this ends...and I have full confidence that they'll use NONE of them...

We have one episode left and after 8 seasons where the bad guy was the night king and/or Cersei, we have a brand new bad guy. Ok, I can live w that. Now who kills her?

It has to be Jon, right? Surely he will get to kill someone good - they aren’t just going to give him Grey Worm and call it a series, are they?

Will the free folk come down for one last battle?

Are the people from Dorne done for good? They still have an army that never got used.

Was Bran morging that white horse that took Arya out?

Does Sam have a role anymore or is he just smashing Gilly offscreen?

Unleash Brienne of Tarth - don’t let her last impression on the audience be crying over Jaime.

Is Yara Greyjoy going to jump in or stay put?

Will Tyrien be right about anything this season at all?

Which isn’t even why he was killed, just one of a couple things he could have been killed for.

Here's a crappy ending. The whole cast in directing chairs just talking about their favorite moments like a Comic Con panel.

And that's going to be infinitely better than anything they come up with. Unfortunately. Sad to have so much certainty about that, but I do.

These two guys doing the writing remind me of fan fiction writers who disagree with elements of canon of the original work and so take their stuff in new directions...but don't have 1/10th the talent of the original content creator. (just look at every Steven King movie...ever. Including The Shining. Only one that was decent was Shawshank Redemption).

All your points are great points. "What about...?" is really going to be how everyone talks about GoT who's watched it all the way through.

Oh come on....
With as bad as the writing has been, would anyone be surprised if Cersei survived and came crawling out?

This all has to be resolved in an hour and a half, so I don't think so....Although I love the thought!

Arya killing Danny is too obvious. Not that I don't think these guys would do obvious. But I think they will go for tragic. Jon doesn't want the throne but will take it for duty's sake. He may not keep it or maybe rule from the North. But when he does take it he will sentence Danny to death and be the one to chop off her head off just like Ned did in the first episode.

Danny may try to use Drogon to kill Jon, but since he is a Targaryen the fire won't hurt him or maybe Drogon would refuse the command. That would be an interesting scene.

The other way to go would be for Sansa to kill Danny. That would make sense given her transformation from the little bird. But I'm still going with Jon lopping off her head.
