![]() ![]() Maybe I'm still feeling after-effects of last week's episode. War and politics are an empty never-ending circle. It should have been a statement greater than any character arc. Sean Keane, London The senseless circle It'll be fascinating to rewatch the whole series and trace Bran's journey to the throne, where he'll undoubtedly spend much of his time warging into Drogon and exploring Old Valyria. And that new Dornish prince better build statues honoring Oberyn. There was a sense that everyone ended up where they were supposed to be (hi Ghost!), which was satisfying. Wrapping up everyone's plotlines following a few accelerated and mildly disappointing seasons was a tall order and it all felt a bit tired by the end. Who won the Game of Thrones?

Arya heading west on who-knows-what adventure. Sansa declaring the North's independence and becoming queen. The elite of Westeros choosing Bran as king (though I really never saw that one coming). Drogon annihilating the Iron Throne and flying off with Dany's body. Jon confronting Dany and being the one to end her life. They managed to layer fulfilling scene upon fulfilling scene: Tyrion throwing the pin of the hand down the stairs. I was absolutely ready to be disappointed. I had such little hope for the final episode after the show's collapse last week. “There may be someone still in charge of the Seven Kingdoms when Game of Thrones ends, but sitting on the Iron Throne? It feels increasingly unlikely.Watch this: Most heartbreaking Game of Thrones deaths “More and more, the throne has become a symbol for the worst aspects of humanity, a metallic reminder of how absolute power corrupts absolutely,” says the magazine. The Hollywood Reporter thinks the “likeliest prediction on the board” is that the throne is disassembled and the equivalent of a “President of the United Kingdoms of Westeros” is established. Nerdist suggests it could be Arya who becomes the one to save the world from the darkness of both ice (the White Walkers) and fire (the Dragon Queen). The prophecy says the Prince, or Princess, who was Promised will be born “amidst smoke and salt” and that “his is the song of ice and fire”. Some fans have got another take on the Azor Ahai theory after watching the latest episodes. Sansa is certainly prepared to stand up to Daenerys but seems unlikely to make a move for the throne with Jon still alive. Martin has cited the War of the Roses as an inspiration, so a Tudor-inspired finale is possible. YouTube fan channels In Deep Geek (in 2017) and GoT Academy (in 2015) have both predicted that Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) will come out on top in the end, highlighting the many similarities between her and fellow redhead Queen Elizabeth I. Tywin suggests he believes Tyrion was the result of an affair, telling him in his final breath: “You’re no son of mine.” He has also been able to approach Daenerys’s dragons in the past. The theory that Tyrion might really be a Targaryen “hinges on a key detail” that his late father Tywin (Charles Dance) always hated his son, says Inverse. Your initial reaction to this theory is “probably to recoil and say, ‘No way!’” says Yahoo! But “wouldn’t it explain so much? Wouldn’t it create a wonderful narrative parallel between Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage) and Jon Snow? One is a bastard who doesn’t realise he’s actually royalty and the other is royalty who doesn’t realise he’s actually a bastard,” the site suggests. Many fans are convinced he is the “Prince who was Promised”, a reincarnation of the legendary Azor Ahai, who drove a sword into his wife to protect the world from “darkness”. In light of Jon’s right to the throne and Daenerys slaughtering a city of innocent people, it seems almost inevitable that Jon will be pushed to overthrow her in the finale. News that Jon Snow (Kit Harington) is Daenerys’s nephew threw a spanner in the works for Westeros’s power couple. So what will happen next? Here are some of the most popular predictions. The episode ended with Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) surviving the bloodbath and riding a white horse out of the capital’s ashes. In the penultimate instalment Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) burned King’s Landing to the ground, confirming the long-held theory that she would follow her father’s path and become the Mad Queen.Ĭersei Lannister (Lena Headey) reunited with her brother and lover Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) before the tunnels of the Red Keep caved in on them.
