I would be very, very surprised if the books aren't going (?) to end up in a pretty damn near identical situation in terms of the character in question.

The only difference in that theoretical scenario is Martin would have hundreds more pages with inner dialogue and narrative to fill out so that we can feel its inevitability as something more organic.

I'm pretty satisfied overall with how the Hound story has concluded, Cleganebowl hype aside. Being called 'Sandor' by the person he cares about the most and braving his worst fear to kill his brother were both very fitting and touching moments for different reasons. It also had my favorite interaction of the season:

Qyburn: Ser Clegane, obey your Queen!

The Mountain: Stuff it, nerd. YEET

Cersei: oh golly I think I left the oven on lemme just scoot on by you fellows this clearly doesn't concern me

@Kestrel FYI I think you might have not closed one of those spoiler tags correctly, there's some CSS bleed happening on this thread

[Kestrel]

@Roz I would fix that but it's not letting me edit the post.

SANSA FOR THE IRON THRONE.

@Cupcake Just for the sake of spoilers in the preview text but...

I'm almost certain neither Dany nor Jon will sit on the Iron Throne.

For starters Dany is 99% toast. She just killed more people than the Night King ever did - in a day. And without any real reason. There's no coming back from that.

So they won't put Jon there because it's the expected outcome and we need to be OMFGSURPRISED. Also the guy doesn't want it, he's said it so much it's practically his catchphrase.

I am seeing Tyrion now, with a splash of Sansa. Get them married (in fact they're a good couple) and voila, no more issues with the North either.

We should seriously just alter the title to GoT Current Status (Spoilers). I don't mind using the spoiler code, but I have a feeling everyone in this thread is expecting spoilers.

Having said that...

Before this season (maybe a bit before), I called TYRION ENDS UP KING OF WESTEROS. Why? Because GRRM has a massive Tyrion mancrush and a massive Arya girlcrush. It seems entirely GRRM's love of the ugly underdog style to take Tyrion from an abused, reviled, and misunderstood imp to king of the world. In some ways, GRRM has foreshadowed it. There would be little lack of irony in Tyrion, who is pure of heart despite his reputation, to become leadership by the same people who used to laugh at him.

ABOUT THAT SANSA WEDDING, THOUGH... per Littlefinger in season 5 (to Ramsay), Sansa and Tyrion aren't legally married because they never rubbed meats together (classy way of saying consummated). Here's something to keep in mind:

If you believe Cersei to be the rightful Queen, then Tyrion or Gendry (more Gendry) are technically/legitimately next in line for the throne.

So, say you say "Fuck Danaerys and the Targaryens. Robert Baratheon won the throne. He died. Cersei is now queen. Fuck ALL of this Targaryen stuff. The Lannister/Baratheon line is rightful to the throne." This means that Gendry (who was legitimized by Danaerys) is next in line. If he doesn't take it, goes to the next surviving heir, which would at this point be Tyrion.

My point: Tyrion and Sansa could resume their marriage. The North would still be ruled by a Stark, but could then also rule the rest of Westeros from Winterfell. Tyrion would allow that.

I think it would be a worthwhile bet to assume the final power situation will involve Sansa, Tyrion, and Gendry, and/or some mix of the three.

Kind of dig the idea of Jon not wanting the throne so much he just fucking destroys it. I mean, it would be right in line with Jon snow's way of thinking to think that if destroys the physical object he also destroys the "wheel". (It doesn't.)

[Rinel]

My crackpot theory is better than your crackpot theory.

***I'm totally right tho***

Bran is going to roll down south and say "hey I know everything" and he is going to (re)build lots of stuff just like Bran the builder and will end up on the throne.

[Arkandel]

No spoilers needed to say this: Bran can freakin' warg into a dragon at will. Or a person.

It's not clear but the guy is the most powerful person in Westeros and it's not even close.

LOL the worst part is he doesn't even have any limits to it. Like, literally, the only limits would be time and space and he broke those too.
