It all comes down to this. Now that the ending of Game of Thrones is approaching, we've decided to look at the big questions that still need to be resolved in the next two episodes. Sadly, the whereabouts of Hot Pie and an update on the health of Ed Sheeran's soldier didn't make the list.
It all comes down to this... Now that the ending of Game of Thrones is approaching, we've decided to look at the big questions that still need to be resolved in the next two episodes. Sadly, the whereabouts of Hot Pie and an update on the health of Ed Sheeran's soldier didn't make the list.One of the best things in the last episode is that we finally got to see Varys and Tyrion do what they do best, pulling the strings behind the scenes. It's clear that The Spider has lost faith in Dany, but will Tyrion's blind loyalty to her stay true? In The North, Sansa has made her feelings towards Daenerys abundantly clear when she asked her"what of The North?" and Tyrion can also sense a fracture in the relationship when he told the Lady of Winterfell that a strong alliance between The North and Dany would be beneficial to the Seven Kingdoms, if Daenerys actually takes the throne.The Mad Queen dynamic Missandei's final word was a rallying call to Daenerys but will she rain fire upon the people of King's Landing? Dany's father wanted to 'burn them all' and Varys is beginning to worry about his Queen's mental state. After all, at the time of the Mad King's death, Varys was part of his Small Council, so he knows what he's talking about after seeing this type of erratic behaviour before. After losing Jorah, Missandei, Viserion, Rhaegal, and the majority of her Dothraki and Unsullied forces, there's a strong argument to be made that if Dany does rain fire on the capital, it makes perfect sense. Aside from this, Tyrion/Varys' previous advice seen her lose a large part of the Iron Fleet, Highgarden, and the leadership of Dorne. When Dany actually embraced Olenna Tyrell's advice - the Queen of Thorns famously said"Are you a sheep? No. You're a dragon. Be a dragon" - she picked up a resounding victory during the Loot Train Attack and after committing all of her forces to fight the Night King, she's entitled to look for the quickest way to take the throne. However, she also said that she doesn't want to be the queen of the ashes. Burning King's Landing down to the ground would go against everything that she wanted to eradicate.However, in recent episodes, some of Daenerys' statements have been very troubling."They should know who to blame when the sky falls down on them" and "I'm here to free the world from tyrants, that is my destiny and I will serve it, no matter the cost" are examples of that.After the recent banquet in Winterfell when the characters were remembering the dead, the showrunner on Game of Thrones, David Benioff, said something very interesting about Daenerys' headspace. "Daenerys is scarred by the events that took place but she's also very much thinking about what Jon Snow told her. She's really shaken when she sees everyone celebrating with him and talking about what a mad man and a King he is for getting on a dragon. She realises that his true identity is a real threat to her, if it comes out. She's in a fairly dark place," he said. Daenerys doesn't care about the fact that their relationship is incestuous - Targaryens rarely do - but she does worry that Jon has the stronger claim to the Iron Throne. To be honest, her concerns are well placed because Varys is already thinking about how he can help Jon get the throne."There's only one thing that can make me happy," said The Hound to Sansa in the last episode.Oh yes! The Hound vs The Mountain. Gregor Clegane vs Sandor Clegane. Brother vs Brother. We're hoping for levels of gore that would make The Mountain vs The Red Viper look tame in comparison.When Cersei visited Maggy the Frog, the fortune teller predicted that she would die at the hands of"the valonqar". According to Cersei's septa,"valonqar" is High Valyrian for"little brother".After the Kingslayer left Winterfell, we're certain that he has unfinished business with his sister. It's worth remembering that Cersei has ordered Bronn to kill her two brothers.It could the most ominous foreshadowing in the history of the show. Remember when Daenerys was in the Houses of the Undying and she had that extremely interesting series of visions? We saw the throne room destroyed, Dany travelling beyond The Wall, and rather tellingly, she never touched the Iron Throne.Dany could be destined to get within touching distance of the Iron Throne but never actually claim it.We've seen countless visions from the Three-Eyed Raven but the dragon flying over King's Landing seems to be the most foreboding one. As you can see in the montage below, everything major that Bran sees has already happened, bar one event.Does he still have some significant information to share about the White Walkers?Were fairly certain that she has made her peace with The Hound but those three names are still on Arya's list.In the last episode, Tyrion made a plea for the Queen to seek peace to protect the future of her unborn child. Euron Greyjoy was in earshot of that conversation and he must have questions about how Tyrion knew this information.It's also uncertain if Cersei is actually still pregnant. In the final episode of Season 7, she refused a drink of wine when Tyrion tried to make peace with her. In the season 8 opener, after she has sex with Euron, she immediately sips a glass of wine.
