To give D&D SOME credit I think they have attempted to subtlety build up to Dany losing it and going mad queen since at least Meereen but between their execution being poor and their audience simply not getting it a lot of the plot points that were intended to cause the audience to go “hmm maybe Dany isn’t the righteous ruler that she’s constantly making herself out to be” instead made them go “YASSS QUEEEN”. Which the merchandising and marketing ran with into the ground.

It is probably this

Wait I thought poop ending was official now. Or is there a variation where we can get mad poopy queen?

The poop ending required bran to die to the night king already. I think poop ending is impossible.

If Dany turning bad and getting killed would make fans mad I wonder how much madder the poop ending would make them.

It would be better if Dany killed off all her counsel and Jon and ruled as the Mad Queen instead of Jon killing her. Just an even worse queen than Cersei and no one can stop her because all the houses are dead and she has dragons and a foreign army that follows only her rule.

The building was on fire and it wasn't my fault.
A bunch of Daeny's Northerner and Vale allies realize they're tired of war and don't want to go fight Cersei, maybe Bronn and Jaime use the Chekov's crossbow to kill the non-Drogon dragon.

Outside of Daeny goes crazy and wants to nuke King's Landing I'm not sure how they can keep any tension in this plot.

She's going to take out Cersie, then the Mountain, then Cersie again (editing error) and finally, the Mountain (deliberate, his zombie powers allow him another go) and wowie! She's done it & Westeros is saved forever! For now...

I'm going top make a prediction: Dany doesn't go Mad Queen. She dies, and yes, Jon stabs her, because Cersei puts a particularly long-lasting and painful poison on the Iron Throne, and is conveniently dead with nobody knowing where or if there's an antidote. Jon puts Dany out of her misery.

Surprisingly, Jon's claim isn't found by the realm to be particularly believable (his brother is having visions, yes, that can easily be proven when he tells you how beautiful you were that night you raped that peasant girl, but that specific vision can't be tested for, and the 'chain of custody' of that book from Sam would be immensely suspicious) and the Seven Kingdoms completely explodes into chaos, so they have to Pray and Bring Dany Back.

This interview D&D gave during season 5 is all you have to know about the philosophy of working on this show behind the scenes:

"The story lines move forward and dig deeper as the episodes progress but rarely circle back and almost never pause for reflection. When I asked Benioff and Weiss if it was possible to infer any overall intentionality to the upcoming 10 episodes, they sneered. “Themes are for eighth-grade book reports,” Benioff told me."

Seemingly real 4chan leak with clips to boot.

Missandei is beheaded by the Mountain, Rhaegal gets killed by Euron. Jon is not really into fighting down south at all.

Oh and Bolvar Fordragon.

Anyways...

Jon and Dany will keep secret their family history and will rule the seven kingdoms. This will keep the north in the fold and will be a compromiae that keeps the peace the most.

Sam will do his maester thing and right it down in a book that nobody will read until a new Ned-like character comes along and this completes the circle back to the first season when Ned looked at the books that were in front of everyone, but they didnt read, and figured out Cerseis kids werent Baratheons.

Hello. Come back to this post after the episode airs next week.

- Euron's fleet takes down Rhaegal.

- Jaime betrays the North. Missandei is captured.

- Dany's army captures Jaime. Brienne tries to talk to him but he refuses.

- Sansa tells Tyrion about Jon's lineage. Tyrion tells Varys.

- Varys betrays Dany because he thinks Jon would be a better ruler.

- Cersei has Missandei executed.

- Dany has Varys executed. Dany assaults King's Landing and it's one-sided as hell.

- Tyrion begs her to show mercy but she refuses.

- Tyrion frees Jaime to try to get Cersei out of the city.

- King's Landing gets wrecked in the battle. Drogon burns Euron's fleet.

- The Hound fights his brother. They both die.

- Jaime fights Euron and kills him, but Jaime is mortally wounded.

- Jaime makes it to Cersei and they die together.

- Dany is executing everyone in King's Landing. Jon and Tyrion are upset.

- Dany has Tyrion arrested to be executed for freeing Jaime.

- Tyrion tries to convince Jon that his family will never be safe because his lineage makes him a threat to Dany's rule.

- Jon tries to talk to Dany but she justifies her actions.

- Jon pledges himself to Dany but then stabs her, then surrenders himself.


A council gets formed to decide who the King should be. Tyrion gives a speech and everyone votes on Bran to become King. The end.


In the epilogue, Jon takes the black again for killing Dany. Arya leaves. Sansa rules the North. Bran oversees his council of Tyrion, Davos, Sam, and Bronn.

These leaks are looking terrifyingly more accurate.

Clips were just leaked of Euron's fleet killing Rhaegal and Missandei being executed.
