OT: Winter Is Coming | Game of Thrones Discussion Thread

Do we see a Jon/Grey Worm showdown this week?

 

[BGDave]

So predictions on how it ends?


My theory since season 2 or 3 has been that Bran's warging ability with Dany's dragons was going to be key. I think that Jon and Tyrion both clearly have lament and concerns about how things went. I think it's possible that Dany will go to execute one or both of them. In that moment, Bran will warg into the dragon and take out Dany. And then everyone is like "oh no, the queen is dead... and nobody with royal blood is here." Samwise stumbles into the room a la Kramer (laugh track) and says "that's not true, there is another." The crowd "well who could he be talking about?!?"

Jon Snow:

Isn't that Sansa's brother-in-law??

I think your prognostication is basically correct. Right now, nothing on the planet can take down Drogon. Except Bran. That makes Dany invincible, and I just dont see her surviving to the end of the episode.

Dany considers both Tyrion and Jon as traitors, so she will attempt to execute them. But will fail. I will diverge from your theory and say that Jon will again turn down the throne. He will go North. Maybe Warden of the North, maybe not.

I see Tyrion and Sansa as the last two standing who actually want to rule. They have certainly hinted at them renewing their "relationship".

One plotline that is completely unfinished and probably should be considered: Bronn. He was tasked by Cersei to kill Jamie and Tyrion. Now that Cersei is dead, no reason for Bronn to finish the mission. Will Bronn try to extort money out of Tyrion nonetheless? Probably. It would be laughable, but maybe Bronn walks in while Dany is pronouncing a death sentence on Tyrion and Bronn says "not today, bitch, his ass is mine" and Bronn shoots Dany with the crossbow.

Also ridiculous, but what if Dany charges Jon with treason, and Jon, wait for it,

Chooses Trial By Combat !!!!!!!!

Dany could pick Grey Worm (easy Jon win), or she picks Drogon. That would be hilarious, especially when Jon climbs up on Drogon and barbecues Auntie D.


(hoping the writers did a better job then my ramblings, so far they have not)

Yes. I was typing this when you posted. I do expect it.

I think that's a good bet here. Jon doesn't really want it. I could see Tyrion taking over (or maybe a surprise ending with Gendry ascending the throne).

Update on my fan fiction, two rival banks to the Iron Bank of Braavos are in the midst of a merger. The words just keep coming to me, there may be enough for an entire book with this one storyline alone (Game of Loans).

That sounds positively erotic.

Daario returns to rule by his queen's side is my prediction.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

perhaps Arya is dead and the horse is taking her to the afterlife?

Thinking about this ... is Arya the new night king ? Afterall, she said she wasnt a lady

A very inexperienced Gendry (...3 women yah right !!!) :

If Jon is left standing, is it possible he chooses to go more of a republic route rather than be King?

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Jon is basically George Washington then

IMHO he will go the libertarian route via The Hound … F*ck the King … and go north with the free folks.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Jon is basically George Washington then

Tyrion does come off as a bit of a Ben Franklin now that you mention it...

 

[BGDave]

or maybe a surprise ending with Gendry ascending the throne

with Danerys on the throne???

 

[Comeds]

What if Joffrey is not really dead and comes back shooting arrows into prostitutes and whatnot?
DO we have a headcount of how many King's Landing prostitutes are dead or is that going to be addressed in one of the upcoming series?

Spoiler: Tyrion death scene leaked

I completely disagree, the episode was a mess. 7 years of character development just thrown out the window.
So very disappointed. Apparently I'm not the only one, since this is now the lowest rated season of all.

That's not even close to true.
