I’m confident (read: hopeful) that the Night King and his army will fall with a good chinch of season remaining. He’s the boogie man, but not the real evil of the story. The human element is so much more compelling and I think the show would be much better served to spend time in a “post-winter” Westeros to see how that would play out. It would be pretty dissatisfying if the last shot is dragon glass to the heart of the night king, he explodes into a million pieces of sand and we fade to black.

My wife and I have been talking about it. I think the White Walker war is finished in episode 3 or 4 then the Iron Throne is decided early in episode 6 with 30 minutes or so to wrap up everything similar to Lord of the Rings: Return of the King.

That would be really bad storytelling because his throat was slit in a room full of witnesses. Not sure how you explain that away.

The spiral/circle symbol has been running throughout the series.

In the very first episode, during the cold open, we see wildling body parts arranged in a circular pattern created by the whitewalkers.

In Season 3 Manse and Jon stumble upon a spiral made of horse parts and manse says “always the artists”, referencing the walkers.

Season 6, Bran “looks” into the past before Hodor’s death scene, we see the Children creating the first whitewalker under the Weirwood tree. The arial view of the tree shows its surrounded by stones in the spiral pattern.

Season 7 when Jon and Dany are in the caves, the drawings of the Children on the walls show lots of symbols and shapes, including whitewalkers and the circle/spiral again.

I’m sure there are more. I googled these since I’m not always 100% sure what the hell’s going on in that show, but hope this helps.


I have your answer.

The theory is that he hired one of them face changers from Braavos to take the fall for him. I’m just saying that’s why there’s votes for him to win the throne.

He hired a guy to essentially commit suicide? That makes zero sense. Guess some folks will latch onto anything that sounds compelling.

About as much sense as someone volunteering to engage in trial by combat for someone else.

Well, the case for that was clearly laid out, as the Prince of Dorne was avenging his sister. And he wasn’t walking into certain death (wouldn’t have been death at all if it wasn’t for pride / arrogance). What point would there be in taking money to kill yourself? It’s just bogus fan theory. There are thousands of them out there....and it’s hard to believe and tie up all the loose ends for about 99% of them.

I was wondering why Littlefinger would be on the odds to sit on The Iron Throne.

But never thought of the faceless people being there instead of him. I am not going to outright dismiss that theory, and here’s why. He has always shown himself to be cunning. Is it possible that he convinced, paid, or whatever, a Faceless Assassin to kill someone in that room, realizing they might be killed instead, but the Faceless person he sent didn’t realize the turn of events that would happen. That is plausible, in my opinion. Long sentence. sorry. In short, could Littlefinger have convinced someone to take his place to kill someone, knowing the would be assassin might be killed instead. The assassin might not have been volunteering to die, but only volunteering to kill with his face on, only to have the tables turned on him unexpectedly?

I think the biggest problem with this theory is the Faceless Men use the faces of the dead. They would have to find Littlefinger's twin, kill him, then make a mask.of.his face.

My money is Gendry. all the top players die trying to fight the white walkers and trying to claim the throne afterwards of who is left. he is the last known of the real Baratheon children. He is my outside darkhorse.

Bronn has been one of the best characters. I think in the end he will choose alliance to Tyrion over Cersei.

Only problem with that is that the only person that knows his lineage is Davos, right? Everyone else who knew is dead.
