    If HBO really wanted to cash in they would leave the final episode as a cliffhanger and then announce a trilogy of films to hit theaters. Disney would do it in a heartbeat.  It would infuriate everyone but still make them at least ten billion dollars.

    GRRM realized he won’t finish the last 2 books but wanted to cash in on the parts he worked on so he sold the ending to AmBev.
    Holy shit ... all those years of the Coors Light train bringing snow and corn syrup beer to large groups of diverse hip twenty-something years olds trapped in hot humid conditions... its all been a setup for the final episodes!

    Sooo.....FUCK....from the snow and mountains....Coors Light must be the beer equivalent to white walkers. Welp, that would explain my blue eyes and overly pale complexion.

    She just had a cameo this episode. She was in the crowd when Jon and Dany came through the Winterfell gate.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    Why would Cersei hire the one guy she doesn’t trust who is also friends with the two guys she wants to murder, especially when Tyrion will double the price?  Especially when Bronn knows the dragons have the ultimate advantage in a war?
    Not to mention he is her ex in real life, I wouldn't trust him at all.

    Bran is the worst.  Always just creepily sitting in the corner being all weird.  It would be really lame if he ended up on the throne....he has been the betting favorite for awhile now..
    No way. I haven't seen or heard anyone say he is their top seed for the throne. It wouldnt make any sense either. He doesn't consider himself a Stark or even human anymore. He's just the tree spirit dude ever since the cave scene in season 4 (I think?). Ned Stark has a better chance of being reanimated and taking the throne than he does.

    those putting odds on it have bran at or near the top.  I cannot figure out the path where that happens.  Honestly have no idea where that character ends up.


    If I had to bet, I would say the Iron Throne is destroyed/abolished

    The fan theories I've seen basically give him those odds because of his greensight and ability to warg. He would have knowledge of his enemies plans and have the ability to stop it easily. They make decent cases, but unless Bran is really, really slowplaying for the throne, he just doesn't seem to have the desire for it.

    My favorite fan theory is the one that about Bran being the Night King. Seemed like there were a few holes in that theory, but entertaining nonetheless.

    Fwiw, I'm pulling for Arya to win the iron throne.

    I saw a theory that Arya is the Waif and is sent by the House of Black and White to kill a major character.

    It makes some sense with how insanely skilled Arya was, and the savage stabbing she took (including a big twist of the knife) and apparent rapid recovery.

    I dont think that will happen tho.

    Why would the waif bother wiping out house Frey?

    Next week should be interesting for Jaime in Winterfell. He gets to confront both Bran and probably Daenerys as well.
    I'm certain Jaime will live, at least for a little while longer, but I the main result of him being in Winterfell is going to be one who stirs the pot.
    Dany is going to want to kill him (see preview for next Sunday) and Tyrion is going to try to talk her out of it.  She'll call him a traitor...drama.
    I'm sure Jon will be around telling her "We need as many swords as necessary" and Dany will be like "I am your queen, you bent the knee to me!"...drama.
    The only unknown IMO is Bran.  I'm sure he'll mention Jaime pushing him out of the window, but I'm not sure how much other detail will come from it.  Bran could easily say "Yeah, I saw what happened with the Mad King, he was going to burn everyone and Jaime saved the lives of thousands....
    So, I think Tyrion, Jon and Bran will ultimately support Jaime.  Dany is going to be left on her own.  I think this is going to occur more and more and not only will she not feel welcome in the north, but i think she's going to start making terrible and hasty decisions.

    What do you all think is going to happen with the Ice Dragon?
    Part of me thinks when this thing shows up to battle, Dany may be reluctant to send her two dragons in to battle.  The Knight King easy took down her dragon before and now they have to fight their icy dragon brother?  My gut tells me she's going to protect her dragons more than she will protect Winterfell.  And the north has no means to stop the Ice Dragon without the use of their own.

    I did read a while ago that the actors who used to roll around together in real life cannot even be in the same room and be civil enough to act at this point.  This would explain why Cersei wanted to make him the offer but it was her toadie re-animator Hand who did the bargaining.

    Wouldn't the waif need to do things that Arya would have done to be convincing in her deception? Arya eliminating house Frey would be high on her list, so it makes sense for the waif just go ahead and do it.

    Also why Bran was not at the meeting with Dany, Cersi and Jon last season. He was written out of it for that reason, or so I've read.

    They are real funny on who they kill though, in a Final Destination kind of way.

    Yeah and why Bronn had to leave that big meeting in the dragon pit in last year's finale before Cersei arrived.  That's pretty crazy.
