Just a guess but its obvious shes gonna bite the dust last episode and I would bet it will be Arya or Jon that will dispatch her. Not so sure how the unsullied will feel about their queen getting slaughtered though. Does Tyrian not have some sort of a bond with them too? I'm trying to remember the circumstances when he freed them after Danny had entombed them for killing the wee boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the twins that were possibly the offspring of the Mad King (being Targaryens explains the incest). There's a passage in the books that explains that the Mad King "took liberties" during the bedding ceremony of Twyin and his wife. And she spent a few months in King's Landing as a handmaiden to the queen. Tywin hates Tyrion not only coz his wife died in childbirth but because he thinks that as his parentage is not in doubt, his deformity should have shown up in the twins as well, furthering his suspicions that the twins were not his.

Prince Buaben Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 So where are we then. Assume that Cersei and Jamie are dead then no one now sits on the iron throne. 4 people have shouts for this 1) Jon Snow (Aegon Targaryen) - The rightful Targaryen heir 2)Daenerys Targaryen - Even though she has prepared all her life for this she is now 2nd in the Targaryen line 3) Gendry Baratheon - The rightful heir of King Robert Baratheon 4) Tyrian Lannister - As Cersei had no kids he is her heir to the throne Imagine that Dany will sit on the throne initially but can’t see her being there at the end. An an outsider would be either Sansa or Arya Stark. If Jon sits on the throne they would be his heirs as his cousins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Buck Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 (edited) I thought it was the best episode of the season. Rulers aren’t born anymore, they’re voted for. Glad Jon did the deed. The north got their independence, Jon back where he belongs as “king beyond the wall” and Arya off on an adventure. Delighted Tyrion ended up hand too. Great ending to a great series.

Steve_Jersey_HMFC Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share Posted May 20, 2019 They tied up most characters/storylines (I think). I actually thought it was ok but this season has been so rushed the damage was already done. like Dany going mad, her getting offed was done way too quickly, it would have benefited from a couple more episodes of her being in rule and building to the point where Jon offs her. I did like the Lords laughing at Sam’s suggestion of democracy, that would have been the cheesiest ending. Bran being king is a strange ending and it feels like this was just another way of being like “hey you thought Jon would be King but that would be too obvious..” although this is apparently what GRRM’s end game is, I just hope if he ever gets the books out the way we get to the end is more logical. Makes you wonder wtf the point was in Jon being resurrected and the whole R+L=J storyline, in the end really led to nothing... Grey Worm doesn’t answer for being a war criminal and sails off into the sunset to find more Naath ***** but when you looks back it’s been an incredible TV show. It’s probably led the way in shifting the popularity back to TV over movies. It’s one of the few things on TV that nearly everyone you know watches and has everyone talking every week, memes being generated etc. The money and effort spent on episodes is phenomenal and it’s great what it’s done for the economy of Northern Ireland, Dubrovnik, Iceland etc. so overall thanks to D&D and HBO for bringing ASOIAF onto the screens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll probably get some D&D explanation on the inside the episode: “Drogon forget he was a dragon and decided to break the rules of monarchy and primogeniture..” Seems like his sparing Jon might have been something which might have come up at the summit. That or the fact he is a Targ .... Already a theory going around Drogon’s taken her to the red priestess in Mereen. more likely he’s taken her back to the ancestral home of Valyria for her to rest and him to live out his days burning and eating stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember asking them what they would do if the ending is s****, “it’s too big to fail” was the reply. Just a poor mans breaking bad......

Yeah lots of questions: -why didn’t Drogon kill Jon? -why did he burn the throne? -what stopped the Dothraki?seeking vengeance and where did they go? -how the feck did Sam become a grandmaester so quickly? -where did all the thousands of Unsullied suddenly appear from? -where did Drogon take Dany’s body? -why is the Reach unpopulated and available for the Unsullied?

The Reach is unpopulated because of Jaime and the Lannister army attacking it in season 7 iirc. The episode where Orlenna dies. I’m a bit annoyed that Arya is off to find out what is west of Westeros. Great, dangle that question in the series finale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reach is populated but it’s an extensive and fertile region. But there are now houses there without Lords. Highgarden was one of them, but I’m sure Bronn would be ever so slightly miffed. A potential home would be the ancestral home of house Tarly. Given Samwell is grandmaester I doubt he’s much interest in being a lord. That said the unsullied could easily set up their own home. Arya has previously said she wanted to do a Columbus, so it’s no surprise she did in the end. The ending seems purposefully full of potential spin offs.

Cade Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 So, when Bran dies or abdicates the throne, the remaining 6 nations of the union will all want "their man" on the throne. If anything, the politics of Westeros will be even more backstabbing than they were before now that the throne changes hands after each monarch dies. No mention of the fate of the Dothraki.
