That's an interesting theory, but I prefer 'zombie death ray', thanks.

Yeah but that sort of thing has happened a lot in the past even in human history/with actual royalty... They might let it slip there with the fictional one as well, who knows. I mean, if they can get undead dragons to fly (even with partially torn wings) and apparently fully function otherwise, then maybe generic defects could be less probable there?

the producers hinted it would become a problem. maybe they are trying to throw everyone off, though.

If I had to predict, it would be very bad if there were some kind of pat, happy ending. Sure. the Night King is defeated, otherwise you have the most boring walking dead spin-off. But is the Wheel broken? No.

There should be a Targaryen child and a Lannister child and more, and some implication the Wheel did not get broken, even if Mother of Dragons thinks she did it.

Blue flame is hotter than yellow flame, that's a chemical fact. You can look it up.

It was blue because Nighty-Nite can augment shit and it wasn't stone, it was ice. That was an ice wall on a stone base, with a marble lip overlay to prevent spills from going down the cabinets.

Enchantments FTW.

Cersi represents the aspect of capitalism that does not have a compelling argument against selfish accumulation. She's basically a robber baron.

Danearys represents the Marxists who want to free the slaves and Jon is the Libertarian.

The show has become overtly political.

My Season 8 prediction:

Night-Nite has dog fight with Jon and Danny, all dragoons perish, as does Jon, while Danny gives birth with dying gasps into the arms of Jorah, who hides the baby.

Night King lays waste to the entire North, begins heading south. Jamie wants to join forces with northern remnants as distraction to Night King while Qyburn attempts to implement the secret that Sam Tarley discovered of how to defeat Nighty-Nite using an alloy of his father's Valerian steel sword, obsidian and dragon whiskers. Cersei objects to any cooperation and Jamie kills Euron, then fights the Mountain while Arya kills Cersei disguised as the commander of the Golden Army.

Jorah eventually brings the heir to the Iron Throne and Bran reveals the location of some more dragon eggs. Sansa gets married for the third time To Be Continued.

That seems quite plausible!

You get the emotional roller coaster of Big characters dying but their babies survive and you get an ultimate cliffhanger (that will never be answered), rather than a happy pat ending.

Didn't Jon learn from Robb not to fall in love in the middle of a war?

Why did Arya threaten to expose Sansa's letter? Partly sister rivalry from way back? Pressuring her to be more loyal and less gullible? Just acting on instinct and unaware Little finger was playing them both?

Maybe she knew he was listening in, and played him...

In either case, as predictable as that "judgment" scene was (I had no doubt Sansa would do the right thing there), I definitely enjoyed watching Arya take that one off her list.

If Arya knew what Baelish was up to, then she was definitely giving Sansa some well-needed life's lessons about loyalty.

My theory was the two sisters were role playing their fall out because they knew Littlefinger would be listening, or his spies would. They planned the whole thing. (although apparently there was a deleted scene where before the trial Sansa goes to see Bran who does his CCTV thing and goes back in time to see Littlefinger betraying Ned, "you held a knife to his throat", which would indicate that the fall out between them was real at the time).
