My current theory is that Arya is going to kill Cersei while face changed to look like Jaime.

She'd have to kill Jamie then ir at least Jamie would need to be dead.

 

[flyerhawk]

Yes. But Olenna Tyrell was a total savage. She's sitting in her castle with a token army as the Lannister's predictably arrive to take their wealth back to King's Landing to fund Cersi's war.
I'm not entirely expecting some total destruction of the loot train by the end of the episode because it appears to be drama bait in the episode. But.....highway of death could be coming just enough to fuck up the Lannister's plan and their also made to go into desperation mode.

Well it is hard to imagine that Cersei survives this season. Next season is going to be about fighting the Night King and if the living are still bickering about the Iron Throne then that fight seems largely pointless. Which means that Cersei needs to bite the dust, IMO.

We also have this scene...

So I'm guessing things aren't going to go well for the Lannister army.

I don't see Jaime dying any time soon. And a pike charge alone might mean he has a specific fire breathing target.

I wouldn't bet against him injuring or killing a dragon here.

Yeah I doubt the charge would mean the end of Jaime. Too obvious. But my guess is the Lannister army is mostly dragon food after that battle.

So I guess the question is, does this scene happen during the gold train, or is it a later battle?

Given that the preview specifically showed the gold train, I'm guessing that its trip to King's Landing will not be a smooth one.

Does Jamie have to be dead for Arya to be able to use his face?

Right that won't be a smooth trip. But does Jaime's charge in the field happen there? That scene you posted was in the season preview, not the trailer for the upcoming episode 4.

 

[Superbelt]

I think Jaime ends up killing Ceresi.

They do keep pointing out that Jaime was born second, which makes him her little brother.

Obviously no way to know. My reasoning why it could be this episode is based on the following.

1. It's an open field. Unless things REALLY change, Jaime is either going to be on the road to KL or in KL for the rest of the season. It's possible that this is a field outside of KL but that seems unlikely to me.
2. There are only 4 more episodes left this season. If we assume that AT LEAST 1 episode has to set up the final season, that means we have 3 episodes left for the fight to happen.

Personally I think this fight happens this Sunday and that Cersei dies in Episode 6.

Jaime has dropped hints about it too a few times.

IIRC he didn't just drop hints. He outright explained to Brienne in his monologue about how he came to be "The Kingslayer" that the wildfire under the city was a primary reason he offed the Mad King in the first place, before he could go through with the plan of incinerating the city.

I feel the same way.

 

[Payton]

Theon needs a quick and dramatic death so we don't have to suffer through him being a complete pussy all the time.

The Tyrese of Westeros...

(Forgive TWD reference.... LOL!!

I think that she won't die until some point in season 8. She probably won't take the Night King stuff seriously but if she did, she'd probably just let the Northerners battle them, thinking it'd be a lot easier to take them out and rule all seven kingdoms when it's all said and done.

The problem is that no one can really focus on dealing with the Night's King while she is screwing around with everyone. She isn't going to tolerate Jon or Dany. So if she is still around next season, it's going to really be a huge distraction for the final battle.

 

[RegentDenali]

Think season ends with Jon presenting proof of a whitewalker to Westeros. Most likely some gathering of leaders from most of the mid and northern kingdoms.

Cersi doesnt die or lose her control over KL till season 8.

I disagree. I think the prophecy is quite literal. She will be killed by Lil' Brudder.

I think that would be the point, to make the odds seem long that the humans can win when they can't even unite against a common enemy because both Cersei and Dany are both consumed with the Iron Throne and fighting each other.

 

[juliansteed]

The 3 Lannister siblings and the 2 remaining Targaryen all have contracts for Season 8. Initially I assumed that meant they couldn't die this season, and still believe they most likely won't. But the actors could return in flashbacks, or as part of the army of the dead. I suspect in season 8 we will see some well known characters as part of the Night King's army at some point. Might be a bit of a waste of Lena Heady's acting to pay her insane money just to have her be a zombie though.

It's also possible that Arya or Jaquen could steal one of their faces but that seems unlikely if the main story in Season 8 is the living vs. the White Walkers and their army of the dead.

 

[SU Nittany Tide]

but I imagine there are common folk who lived there. Servants who hung around and all that. He didn't up and take all the women and children with him. If he is a Lord, he has a system that gets him food and everything, so they should all still be in place despite not having a Lord.

In the books Cercei sends a small force to take Dragonstone after Stannis abandons it, led by Loras Tyrell. They take the castle and Loras is injured, so stays there and is treated by their Maesters.

It's an island right? Maybe without any power there they don't have the resources like food and whatnot to stay. I don't know.

That being said, episode 3 was one of the best of the series in my opinion.
