Is Tyrion a secret Targaryen dragon-rider?
Who will land the Iron Throne?
What eyeliner brand does Euron Greyjoy use?
Allvitally important questionsanyGame of Thronesfan might be asking before the final season premieres this weekend.
There is a lot left to figure out, after all.
Cersei is outnumbered, but certainly not entirely counted out yet.
How will Jon and Dany react to their surprise incest?
This means that Jon is Rhaegars true-born son and legitimate heir.
Or they may agree to rule together as co-regents.
But there has been a lot ofGOTbuzz about Daeneryss increasingly erratic and occasionally cruel behavior.
First, she set the Dothraki meeting yurt afire and murdered the entire ruling class.
(Notably, its also an echo of the way her father killed Ned Starks father and brother.)
Will Dany turn into the Mad Queen?
Will Jon have to destroy her before she destroys Westeros?
Lady Gilly has a nice ring to it, yes?)
When will the Army of the Dead reach Winterfell?
Ohhhhhhh ho ho ho ho.Youre asking about time?
If the showrunners dont seem to care much about time anymore, lets not waste ours.
The Night King will reach Winterfell when it serves Benioff and Weisss purpose, and not a moment sooner.
(But for real, Id guess the penultimate episode because thats how these dudes roll.)
How else can we explain that he knew the route back to the Wall so well in season seven?
If he could do that, hell surely make it to Winterfell.
How do you kill an ice dragon?
Is this whole thing Brans fault?
We already know Brans presence can change past events.
Dont forget: Aerys claimed that he heard voices telling him to burn things.
Who is the Azor Ahai, the Prince Who Was Promised?
Lordy, Lordy, this is the mother of all (dragon) questions.
For a full rundown on all the contenders, dont miss Nate Jonessepic investigation of this topic.
But my money is on Tyrion, who is consistently underestimated, and maybe (just maybe!)
After all, the description we hear about baby Tyrion is of a leathery, scaly monster.
And recall Tywins last words: Youre no son of mine.
Will the show suddenly reveal ANOTHER secret Targaryen?
Thats a bit much, perhaps.
But if the world were just, Tyrion would be the savior of Westeros.
Will the rest of Cerseis prophecy come true?
You will never wed the prince; you will wed the king, Maggy tells her.
You will be queen for a time.
Then comes another younger, more beautiful to cast you down and take all you hold dear.
The king will have 20 children and you will have three.
Gold will be their crowns, gold their shrouds.
But who exactly is the younger, more beautiful queen come to cast her down?
But in George R.R.
How fitting then that the thing she fears most will be what finally chokes the life out of her?
What did Tyrion say to convince Cersei to declare a truce with Daenerys?
Which is weird, right?
But it somehow works.
Tyrion leaves the meeting with Cersei, and she agrees to a cease-fire with Daenerys and the Northern armies.
So what exactly did Tyrion tell her?
We just dont know yet.
But for me, Tyrion is the hero ofGame of Thrones.
Where has Melisandre gone?
Ive done my part.
Ive brought ice and fire together, she tells him.
And then, Oh, I will return, dear Spider.
I have to die in this strange country, just like you.
But in this case, we have reason to put our faith in her mystical soothsaying.
But why make such a long trek just to come back to Westeros to die?
Either way, expect more of the Red Womans dark magic.
Perhaps shell be eaten up by her own flames.
Is Ned Stark actually still alive?
When one character returns from the dead, its a glitch.
When two do it, well, the rules of your fictional universe start to feel a little flexible.
Beric Dondarrion felt like a quirky anomaly, but Jon Snows reincarnation was athing.
(Not to mention the Hound and the Mountain.)
Our favorite kooky theory?
That Ned Stark is alive, well, hiding out, and about to stroll back onto the scene.
So why was he there?
Is Arya really Arya, or did the Waif steal her face?
Which is what makes this theory seem plausible.
Just before Arya and the Waif fought for the final time, Arya threw the room in pitch blackness.
Were meant to understand that all those weeks (months?)
But we dont see the Waif die; we only see Arya come out.
And the Waif, you may recall, also has the ability to don the faces of the dead.
So who really left Braavos?
Is it Arya or Arya?
My moneys still on the former, but weirder things have happened.
Will Davos Seaworth, the only truly good man, ever see his wife again?
Davos, hes seen the shit.
Will he ever return to his home on Cape Wrath and hold his beloved again?
Im rooting for you, Onion Knight!
When will we hear from Meera?
Is a hug too much to ask, Bran?
A simple thank-you would suffice.
Under other circumstances, a departure by a minor character like Meera might not matter much.
Except Meera happens to be the daughter of Howland Reed a.k.a.
And its possible he knows even more.
Instead, he sent Meera and Jojen North to escort Bran on his journey.
Id be shocked if he didnt make a crucial, sudden appearance this season.
What is the point of Beric Dondarrion?
(Unless, of course, Melisandre steps in again.)
So, what was the point of all that, besides a chance to ogle the delightedly eye-patched rogue?
Can he even do that without Thoros?
We have no idea, but were eager to find out.
Will anyone remember to free Ellaria Sand from the cells under the Red Keep?
On that note, is Septa Unella still dying her long Gregor-inflicted death?
Does Dorne matter anymore?
Did Dorne ever really matter?
Only for the winos thirsting for some of Sunspears bloody finest.
But were still wondering about a few things.
The approximately 3 million Dornish have no leader.
At least the Dornish still have warm weather.
Will Pod finally turn into a great fighter?
Weve known Podrick Payne (a.k.a.
Since then, hes squired for several notable fighters.
Is his day finally about to come?
I predict great things for him, along with a possibly tragic sacrificial death.
A gentle, kind man with a magical penis?
Nobody that wonderful can last for long in Westeros.
Will Tormund and Brienne couple up?
And his immediate and fierce attraction to Brienne is adorable and makes some sense.
But like, old gods and the new, dont turn them into a couple.
For starters, this attraction only goes one way!
Brienne doesnt need a man to be happy.
If Brienne wants a life partner then I hope she gets one.
IsDolorous Eddokay?
No, really, Im wondering.
How many more braids can Daeneryss head support?
The Dothraki have a tradition of growing their braids as long as they remain victorious in battle.
Will Theon redeem himself?
Yes, 100 percent.
Do not doubt me on this.
Alfie Allen is a global treasure.
Will the finale end with a flash-forward?
Flashes into the future tend to drag.
Or howHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallowsclosed with a treacly scene about Harrys kids boarding the Hogwarts Express?
Lets not wish that onGame of Thrones.
Is this entire story a Westerosi history written by Maester Samwell Tarly?
There and Back Again: A Maesters Taleby Samwell Tarly?
