Here’s another guess: Jon Snow becomes the Night King, and either everyone dies, or if anyone remains alive, Arya and the Hound will be among the survivors. I can also imagine one of the dragons playing a pivotal heroic role in all this.
Also wondering if Arya will be able to follow through with all her vengeance fantasies…
I don’t think that either Jon or Dany winds up on the Throne - that’s too predictable, and GoT is anything but predictable. And I think I’m the only Thrones fan who really doesn’t like Dany. For some reason, she leaves me cold.
I’m more concerned with who will die rather than who will rule. I really hope Brienne, Ser Davos, Bronn of the Blackwater, Arya, and Tyrion make it through. And if they don’t - well, then, I’d like to see everyone die and have the Children of the Forest rule, like @mathmom
Dany will live, and rule Westeros.
Jon Snow will die, while fighting and killing the night king, and perhaps the zombie dragon. Everything about him is about self-sacrifice and that’s how it will end, sadly. Ghost will live on, maybe with Dolorous Edd.
But! Dany will have conceived a child from their one night together when they didn’t know they were Aunt and nephew.
Cersei and Jaime will die together, as they were born together. He will save her by killing her, or something like that. Save himself by killing them both? Brienne is not destined to be his lover, but she has definitely been the woman who helped him see Cersei for who she is. Maybe he will kill Cersie to save Brienne, and die while doing it.
Tyrion lives, and lives well. Does he stay as Hand of the Queen? Or does he go off and consummate his marriage with Sansa and live at Winterfell? By now, she will truly appreciate him and all her girlish fantasies of pretty young knights will have died thoroughly.
Bran will live and go back into that tree.
Arya will live and roam the world with Nymeria. Maybe the Hound will go with her too. Or maybe the Hound will kill his brother and then go and raise some chickens.
I want Dany to live, but she will never rule Westeros. Sansa will rule, with her siblings as helpers. Everyone else will die.
@greenwitch and I have a suprisingly similar take on how GOT will end.
Jon will die heroically. At the height of the war, when most everyone is being slaughtered in front of him, he will ride a dragon to the Night King and kill him, thus killing his entire army. Bran will have told Jon where to find the king. Somewhere along the course of the series we learned that when a white walker dies whatever zombies he had created die with him. The King created them all, so if he is killed it’s game over. Jon will die of wounds from the battle.
Daenerys is pregnant with his child and will give birth to their child.
Cersei will stay in Kings Landing during the battle in the north. When the war is over she will advance north with the sell swords she bought with a loan from the iron bank. Jaime will find out she is carrying wildfire with the intent of destroying whoever has been left alive after the war and will kill her to stop her.
The remaining leaders of the various houses will convene a meeting. Daenerys will give her “break the wheel” speech again, and Westeros will form some kind of European Union or parliamentary form of elected government. The wildlings will be included.
I want a happy ending for the major characters, but I think most of them will die.
Whatever else happens, that wall will not be rebuilt. Either the whitewalkers are completely destroyed or they win and humanity is dead. Either way, the wall no longer serves a purpose.
Sam will write the history.
I really want Tyrion to live a long and happy life. Jon has been presented as a heroic martyr, and I’m prepared for his death in pursuit of the greater good. But Tyrion… That’d be awful.
Tom and Lorenzo’s podcast presented their idea that the night king will go straight down the east side of Westeros to Kings Landing instead of engaging at Winterfell. Cersei will join him as his queen (her house will live on forever that way) and they will go north for the great war, creating more zombies along the way and trapping the humans against the south side of the wall. After that, the great war takes place.
Does anyone else think Jon and Sansa get together? They aren’t brother and sister any more… and he likes redheads.
^ To quote my other favorite show, “Ewww, David!”
Three more days! I feel silly being this excited over a show, but oh well.
By the way, do NOT look at the spoiler stuff that is all over the internet. I found out that one particular person has leaked spoilers over the last few seasons, and he has been 100% correct because he had a source that had been leaking from the set during filming. So now I am pretty sure I know for sure the fate of one of the characters, and I really wish I hadn’t followed my curiosity and read what the guy had written. He wrote a lot more than what I read, but I didn’t finish reading because I don’t want to know anything else. And no, I am not stating anything here, and please no one else do that either (if you know of the same spoiler guy and have read what he’s written or seen any of his videos). And I won’t say his name in case anyone stumbles upon him by accident.
So just everyone ignore all internet spoilers for the next six weeks.
Arya has Littlefinger’s face…does she use it to get to Cersei?
Remember that Tyrion walked up to the dragons to free them from their chains several seasons ago. Why didn’t they kill him? There’s more to be learned about who Tyrion really is.
Tyrion sits on the Iron Throne.

@makemestmart,
While I like that idea it’s quite unlikely given that the actor who plays the night king is the same actor who played the First Man the children of the forest tied up and stabbed with dragon glass, turning him into the Night King.
One thing I am pretty sure of (not based on what I now know to be true from the set leak, this is separate from that and based just on my own guessing) - the ending will be something different, something that takes us away from where we think the series is going, yet still all makes sense within the world of the story .
@GKUnion - there’s been a theory for years that Tyrion’s father was not Tywin Lannister, but the Mad King Aerys Targaryen, who fancied Joanna Lannister and “took liberties” with her on her wedding night, according to Barristan Selmy.
In the book, Tyrion has very light blonde hair, almost white, and his eyes are each a different color. He had dreams of dragons as a child. It could just be a tease, but you never know…
Regarding the Starks, I wonder if the fates of each of their wolves foreshadows their own. I believe only Jon and Arya’s wolves are still alive so I am wondering if that means Bran and Sansa are in trouble.
Are any of you aware of a good printable family tree for the various GOT families? I’ve rewatched season 7 and plan to rewatch season 1 Episode 1, but would love to have this additional learning aid.
This video will quickly pull everything together for you , @jasmom. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrhqmMRv1gQ
Also- a lot of people think there will be a Targaryen leading the Golden Company- which should be very interesting.
Thank you @PhotographerMom , that definitely helps,
.@Momma2018, I hope not – at least with regard to Sansa. If anyone survives, I want it to be her.
In the books, Tyrion is obviously the author’s favorite character. (He is also quite ugly, unlike Peter Dinklage, who is handsome.) But the tv series went off-book quite a while ago.
Tyrion’s natural role is as the Hand, so I am assuming that he will end up as the Hand of the ruler, the King, or the spouse of the Queen (Sansa).
Sam is a scholar. That’s what he’ll be. He is in possession of two important facts: that Rhaegar married Lyanna and that dragonglass kills white walkers.
Dany and Jon: it’s hard to know. Either of them could end up as King or Queen, if so most likely the other will die. (The bittersweet ending that has been mentioned.) Or they could both die but their child will inherit the throne, with either Sansa and Tyrion or Sam and Gillie as the foster parents.
I can see Arya and the Hound ending up in the Kingsguard or Queensguard. Or dying. Or either of them dying to save the other. I sincerely hope that even if the Hound dies he kills the Mountain first.
The worst possible ending would be Cersei winning the throne.
