Game of Thrones Season 6

Holy crap I'm good

And holy hell was that finale perfect? Might be my favorite episode yet.

 

What? No way.

This finale was amazing. Battle of Bastards was epic from a film and execution perspective, but storywise, it was weak.

The finale had so many freaking things happen. And the music was perfect.

 

Loved it! The women are running the show right now...Danny with her army, Dragons, Dorne and Tyrell, will be kicking some Lannister butt! The question as I see it is whether she joins John against the white walkers, or does she see him as a threat? And what will Littlefinger's next play be?

 

This episode ranks right up there with bastard bowl and hardhome, I loved it....so satisfying. Freypie anyone?

Arya, master assassin...she needs littlefinger on her list.

 

It pretty much went the way we all expected it to go, I don't think there was any tough guessing for this one lol. I do think they cheated Margery out of a better death though. I felt she died cheaply considering her role/character and how much focus they had on her plotting against the high sparrow, and eventually Cersei. But the finale was awesome, one of the best episodes to date along with the Red Wedding (looking back WAY after the fact), Purple Wedding, Hold the Door, and the previous episode.

EDIT: Oh, and I can't wait for Jamie to kill Cersei . She puts so much hate towards Tyrion due to her interpretation of the prophecy, but when Jamie does the deed, the look on her face will be priceless. What will be interesting is that there will be NO ONE to take over the crown.

 

I think this is the reason it wasn't one of my favorite episodes.... GoT is awesome in large part for how often it throws in plot twists and jaw dropping what just happened moments... The music was awesome, and I'm glad it finally revealed a lot of the things most knew all along, but there weren't any surprises... Finales should always have at least one surprise unless it's a series finale.

Cersie blowing up basically everyone was a pretty large surprise, no? I think most guess that she would use the wildfire somehow, probably killing the High Septon and his guys, but wiping out the Tyrells as well? I don't think anybody guessed that.

 

Agreed, that's the only part that I didn't suspect but I wasn't surprised in the least when it did happen. Even though I hate Cersei's character, it's about time she got back to being herself. I really wished Margery somehow escaped with Cersei thinking she killed her. That way, Margery could somehow get to Jamie and convince him that Cersei purposefully had intentions of killing Tommen one way or another which would fuel Jamie to take out Cersei.

 

We were talking about that at lunch yesterday! I agree, he did it before and he can do it again!

 

Arya will take out Cersie, probably wearing Jamie's face.

 

I wondered that myself but that would mean she either needs to kill Jamie or she needs to come across his dead body to get his face. If she's living by any specific code, I'm not sure she would kill him. I would be inclined to think she doesn't live by any code in regards to her kill list but at the same time she could have killed the Hound and didn't. So, it's a very interesting mystery right now. Either way, it will be satisfying once Cersei is gone.

I think Melisandre is next on her list anyway so we have some time to see what develops.

 

Brienne will kill Jamie and that'll give Arya opportunity to take his face.
IDK...

 

Jamie has to kill Cersie. It is written.

 

Yep. It has to happen. He kills the mad king and then the mad queen. It would be quite the change in character arc for him to end up being the opposite of what he was in the beginning. He'll be like his friend zone lover Brienne

 

It would be pretty easy to argue that a faceless "person" wearing Jamie's face and killing her wouldn't necessarily conflict with that prophecy.

 

I just feel like Jamie killing Cersei not only fulfills the prophecy, but also sees his character come full circle.

The show has kinda destroyed his redemption story (which was one of my favorites from the books)

 

So how does everyone see this thing playing out? I mean the show not the books, by now they are two different stories as far as I can see. The Show didn't use Young Griff so I'm guessing that's a dead arc not shared in the show at all.
Dany can't have kids so even if she becomes queen she can't have an heir. If she wants her bloodline to continue this limits her options in marriage, rule and how she handles dealing with John Targaryen (snow). John will have to sire heirs, Targaryens were known to have multiple wives so I think that's a clean solution and a good reason for them to ally. Who would John marry? That's a good question.

John is going to have a pretty impressive army by the time all is said and done, he has all the northern families now. Arya killed the Freys so that means their Uncle Edmure is now the heir to the Twins having been forced to marry and sire an heir to the Frey holdings. Edmure consequently also is Lord of Riverrun besides the Twins and bridge. I don't know if he was being held at the Twins in the show or if Jamie took him back to Casterly Rock, if he's at Casterly Rock then he may be of no use until they conquer it. If the show kept him at The Twins (Freys) then he should be free now.

Now John's cousin, Robert Arryn rules the Vale. Baelish kind of controls Robert but Robin is a wild card being he's mentally retarded. He is extremely unpredictable and unreliable but he is also extremely attached to Sansa and I imagine would be more likely to betray Baelish for Sansa than the reverse. Baelish needs to be "offed" and Arya would be the best solution there. Then a marriage could be arranged between Robin and young Lady Mormont. No doubt she'd either keep Robin under control or cut his throat, lol. Then House Stark would have a reliable ruler and ally in the Vale and would have Baelish's threat out of the way. Alternately, Sansa could marry Robin (ewe) and gain control of The Vale that way.

So that would give house Stark/Targaryen The North, The Vale and The Riverlands.
Lannisters control The Westerlands, The Crownlands and the Stormlands but the last two of those are strongly Baratheon sympethetic so if John and Dany ally, they should pretty easily be able to take those without much of a fight.

Dorn and The Reach look as though they are uniting. The Martells (what's left of them) have been loyal to House Targaryen and The Reach's House Tyrell is basically all gone save one and she is old and want's revenge on the Lannisters so this should be an easy alliance to forge with Stark/Targaryen.

That leaves The Iron Isles and The Westerlands to be conqured and the Lannisters wiped out. The Iron Isles true Heirs are already allied with Dany but they'll have to wack Uncle Urine Greyjoy(<- yes I intentionally misspelled that). He's a villain so I expect him to ally with the Lannisters. The Martell's have a good fleet of ships, so does Dany, they should be able to smash Euron and gain control of The Iron Isles, completing Dany's agreement with Yara Greyjoy. I don't know if the show is going to give Euron the Dragon horn or not but that would hardy do any good if he was destroyed fleet vs fleet.

That leaves the Lannisters Westerlands pretty vulnerable, from that point is should be pretty easy for Stark/Targeryen to unite all of The Seven Kingdoms. Dany already controls a portion of Essos, once she and John rule all of Westeros it would be interesting if they went back to Essos and conquered all of it. I imagine they'll have to defeat The Night King somewhere in all that mess though. I'm hoping that's the finale after they conquer all of Westeros.
