I like Daenerys but I’m hoping for Jon Snow to get his happy ever after, and Arya too :)

I don't think that Jon and Dany will rule - they don't deserve to. Dany is as bad as Cersei and Jon is a wet lettuce since he met Dany.

Sansa and Tyrion have a strong claim to rule and Sansa has the support of the North - Jon lost that when he teamed up with mad Dany.

Arya could team up with Gendry and they could rule, although I think that he's too soft for her now that she's an assassin.

Personally I think there'll be a curveball - Sam and Gilly maybe?

I hope that Jaimie and Brienne get together.

BartonHollow · 11/01/2019 15:14

Yes, but I don't think they have the story time to take it further, I think originally it was intended but got shelved like Lady Stoneheart.

And, who is left alive to confirm it? Tywin claimed him/named him Lannister, so there's no paper trail

Anyone who might remember that Dany's Father either had an affair with or raped Cersei's mother is long gone.

IPromiseIWontBeNaughty · 11/01/2019 15:14

I’m assuming that the series & the book endings won’t be the same but who knows!

BartonHollow · 11/01/2019 15:16

Sam is basically Frodo of this story and it will end with him writing

A Game Of Thrones : A History Of Westeros

BartonHollow · 11/01/2019 15:17

I suppose there's Bran.

Who is basically a plot device at this stage.

Flanuary · 11/01/2019 15:19

As long as Tormund’s not dead.

sproutlove · 11/01/2019 15:19

Possibly Sansa vs Dany at the end and everyone will have to pick a side. I also think that Sansa could be preggers as a pp said.

MinisterforCheekyFuckery · 11/01/2019 15:29

I don't get the love for Dany. She's basically just a despot masquerading as a liberator. She's not much better than Cersei really. I can't see both Dany and Jon making it til the end, one of them is bound to have a tragic death.

The only one I really feel emotionally invested in at this point is Tyrion. I really want him to have a happy ending but probably not going to happen.

Smellyrose · 11/01/2019 15:34

I'm Team Tyrion. It probably won't happen, but I think he'd be the best person to rule Westeros.

Omgineedanamechange · 11/01/2019 15:38

I love this theory, but it’s unlikely. The seven kingdoms split, with one ruler each representing the seven gods. So, mother-danaerys obvs, Smith-Gendry, Crone- Melisandre, stranger-arya, warrior-Jon, maiden - Sansa, or Brianne if we’re going down the maiden=virgin route. And father possibly the three eyed raven, or Tyrian, or even Sam as the “father” of baby Sam who’s obviously important as he should have gone to the white walkers.

TheVonTrappFamilySwingers · 11/01/2019 15:40

I have nothing to add except I cannot wait!

Jon and Dany doesn't feel right to me.

I may have to rewatch the last series to see though!

NotYoonique · 11/01/2019 16:23

After seeing Gendry stove in the heads of those two goldcloaks with his hammer, I don't think he is too soft for Arya Grin

sailorcherries · 11/01/2019 16:40

I don't think Jon and Dany will end up together. Jon never wanted to rule, he only sought out her help because of the Nightwalkers and the threat to the North.

I think he will betray Dany for love - she will go for his family and he'll need to decide. His family has always been the most important thing to him, whether it was the Starks or the Watch. He'll need to stop her before she stops them. She's just a rebound shag, he still loves Ygritte.

I think Tyrion will end up on the throne and the North will be given to Sanaa, as a mark of respect. Sansa will rule the North, Jon will explore over the wall and Brienne and Tormund will get together.

I would love all this to happen but since this is GOT we're talking about I can't imagine we'll be treated to such a happy conclusion!

Holidayshopping · 11/01/2019 16:45

Sansa is still Tyrion's wife. He hasn't seen her in about 4 years.

She married Ramsay since then though, hasn’t she?

Brienne and Tormund or Brienne and Jamie?!

Who is the rightful heir then-Jon or Dany?

sailorcherries · 11/01/2019 16:52

Very true Minister. I still want Jon to kill Dany though.

MinisterforCheekyFuckery · 11/01/2019 16:57

I kind of want Dany to get torched by one of her own dragons. Is that really sadistic of me? Grin

SpikyHedgehogg · 11/01/2019 16:59

There's a lot I don't admire about GRRM's writing, but I really admire his resistance to a trope!

BartonHollow · 11/01/2019 17:04

@Holidayshopping

Was waiting for this question

Sansa married Tyrion on the orders of Tywin and Cersei at the now exploded Sept under the eyes of The Seven aka The New Gods

This marriage was a legal one in state terms

Sansa married Ramsey on the orders of Roose and Littlefinger under a Weirwood Tree, in the sight of The Old Gods

This was in part because the Northerners pray to the Old Gods and rejected her marriage to Tyrion as

  1. Wrong Gods
  2. Coercion
  3. Unconsummated
  4. They were in open rebellion to the state at that time

Though she was technically a bigamist at this stage each side rejected the other marriage.

However her marriage to Ramsey was also coerced and in terms of Sandra's consent just as invalid.

What makes her marriage to Tyrion which officially stands in state terms interesting is that they never consummated it.

And this fact is what may end up making Tyrion and Sansa an alliance against Dany and Jon.

He is the ONLY man other than her father to treat her with the proper kindness and respect. And someone she will naturally turn to for advice. She rather liked him by the time they ran away.

Tyrion has referred to her as his wife to more than one character and Jon as his brother in law, so Tyrion considers her his wife, yes.

FadedRed · 11/01/2019 17:06

Gendry might be the right-born son of Cersei and Robert Baratheon - remember Cersei telling Caitlin of the ‘black haired boy she lost’? So rightful heir through the Baratheon line. Not sure if that would make any difference at this point in the saga, though.
Arya still got some people on her list- Cersei and the Mountain for a start. Though I think she’ll be second in a queue after the Hound.
Agree that there will be tears before bedtime for several of the main players.

Sunflowermuma · 11/01/2019 17:07

I'd love to see arya and gendry get toget her

And brienne and tormund

I've been watching it all again and finished it two days ago; I feel like they're all going to die. I feel like we've been told since the beginning they'll all die

I really don't want dany to get pregnant, I want what the witch to have told her to be true otherwise the witches premonitions have been pointless. For that same reason if cersi is pregnant I want her to die before its born. Although I think she's faking the pregnancy

Oh and I want arya and the hound to tag team and kill the mountain

IPromiseIWontBeNaughty · 11/01/2019 17:10

I always forget that Jon & Tyrion are brothers in law. Blush

MinisterforCheekyFuckery · 11/01/2019 17:12

Ooh yes, a Hound Vs Mountain showdown definitely needs to happen!

Holidayshopping · 11/01/2019 17:15

Jon and Sansa aren’t actually siblings though, are they?

TinklyLittleLaugh · 11/01/2019 17:17

Gendry's mum isn't Cressida though. She was a random barmaid. I think Gendry's pretty much out of the books. The TV show very much caters to the fans though.
