Jon doesn't want the throne though, all he would have to do is give up his claim and let Dany have it.

That'll go over well in the North.

Garbage predictions for this garbage show:

-Dany will die in Jon's arms, Jon will become king of the seven kingdoms
-All the dragons will be dead at the end
-Clegane bowl will happen, and the hound will win
-dickless will manage to save his sister and kill euron somehow

I'll pirate the show if I watch it at all next season, what a retarded ending. loving holywood writers ruin everything with their save the cat template bullshit

My stupid fan dream right now is, jon is azor dany is nissa nisa. They're going to end up in a dragon battle with dany/drogon, jon/rhaegal, and NK/zombie dragon. Dany is gonna get wrecked and personally turned into a white walker with a forehead type touch thing. Jon is going to fight her, stab her, and pull out a flaming longclaw to gently caress up the night king with.

-Jamie is going to dick down Brienne
-The Hound is going to win the Clegane bowl by overcoming his fear of fire

Then again this isn't so much prediction as hilariously obvious poo poo they've been more or less telegraphing for 4 seasons now



Also in just pure conjecture, lets say the Night King wins. Isn't like the entire other half of the world going to be completely ok since they can't swim?

This but the other way around: Jon sacrifices himself nobly for the good of all Westeros, Sansa becomes Warden/Queen of the North, Dany gets to be queen with Jon's miracle baby in her belly, but at the price of her armies and everyone she loved and cared about.

I think it's going to much shittier, like tackling his unstoppable, undead brother into a pit of fire where they are both immolated.

Goddamn can't believe I got suckered by Cersei's bullshit. Still somehow underestimated how much of a dumb spitefull rear end in a top hat she is. Hound continues to own everyone.

My continuous reaction to that plot development was basically "bullshit, I can't believe they'd go with something like that, it doesn't fit Cersei at all", but I somehow was still unable to make the most basic connection to her simply being deceptive.

The Night King now has air support. Once he's done with Westeros he can open a franchise in Essos easy enough.

The walls crumble. The Army of the dead flows through King's Landing. White Walkers trail behind the host, gesturing, enlisting another hundred soldiers with each flea-ridden burrough consumed.

Jaime Lannister backs away from the parapet, turning to Qyburn. "Burn them all" he commands. Qyburn's mouth opens, but only blood escapes his throat.

In the light of the dying fires, a flash of blonde hair. Blue eyes. Blue like the frost-forged dagger now protruding from Jaime's chest. The Kingslayer collapses. He looks up at his killer. "Cersei."

As he lay dying, the last thing he hears is The Night Queen's wail. The last thing he sees: among silken black folds inlaid with silver filigree, a second pair of pale blue eyes, blinking open for the first time.

The Last Lannister. The Night Prince.

It descends from its mother's royal womb, keening for the flesh of the living.

Tyrion isn't pining for Khaleesi.

That's your "..and here's where we're leaving Peter Dinklage" shot to finish up the season.

Like I can't even imagine what sort of nonsense poo poo that shot is probably setting up in the showrunners' mind.

I mean we had like 3 different scenes of the Stark sisters, in private, at each others' throats. So yeah that shot probably is the -loving stupid- setup for an amazing Tyrion scene down the road in which he has to choose between those two.

do we ever have an idea of the actual numbers of her army, especially after the handful of battles?

I'm guessing it's gonna be white walkers vs the north/snow/khaleesi then what's left fights Cersei. That or Jamie kills her

I did hear 20,000 for the mercenaries though yeah

Also after all this time and all those scenes Theon grows a pair 🙄 and is going to become his sisters galant hero

Dany started with 8000 unsullied. The battle of the bastards was fought with around 10k men before the knights of the vale showed up. There have been a lot of deaths and not a whole lot of replenishment all the way around. Mance had gathered up a couple hundred thousand wildlings and now only a few thousand live south of the wall.


All of the armies of westeros right now combined are heavily outnumbered by the aotd and whatever numbers of either side left over will have a tough fight against rested lannister/golden company forces.

I mean just in a pure subjective sense combined with the reading which armies/soldiers are considered the best sans dragons? Unsullied are up there? Knights of the Vale are known as elite or just simply have the terrain advantage?

Also how come these whole other areas are largely glossed over, like where the iron bank is. Switzerland pretty much? Down to the mercenaries

At this point any of the Unsullied/Mercenary armies are probably the largest coherent force around. The only groups which havent taken massive losses are the Vale and Dorne, but the Knights of the Vale don't have the numbers and I guess Dorne is sitting this one out. Everyone else in Westeros has been fighting and dying for 5 years

It's amazing what years of constant warfare has done to the size of the armies.


IIRC Renly had like 80K, Rob had over 20K Stannis had 10K plus when he went to the wall. I wonder if the Army size shrinking has more to do with the show runners telling GRRM "hey dude you know those numbers are way to big for medieval armies?"than attrition?
