    there is no fucking way Tyrion is the Valonqar, you never ever make prophecies in any book so dead simple the reader can figure out from the start how it plays out. Tyrion killing Cersei is how you or I write the book because we're fucking morons not prolific authors. Jaime going from disgraced Kingslayer to redeemed Queenslayer is how you write a character arc.

    I feel like I'm going to regret those sentences but it is such more better and far more poetic if Jaime kills Cersei over Tyrion or literally everyone else.

    Wasn't their a theory that the little brother could be
    Wasn't there some thought that euron is also a younger brother? I like the idea that after all this they just have done kinky sex that gets out of hand.

    My other wrong pet theory is that the hound gets turned and clegaine bowl is actually zombie clegaine bowl. They fight until they're just pieces of zombie then even their thumbs thumb wrestle to the death. What will probably happen though is clegaine bowl ends with the hound returning the favor and setting his brother on fire.

    there was but that seems dumb. Tyrion is the obvious younger brother but Jaime, while Cersei's twin, was still born seconds after her, which technically also makes him a younger brother. the mere fact that we know this tidbit makes the Valonqar theory more interesting on its own. like, I get that George loves to go on about this and that but that's a very specific detail.

    The intro to game of thrones (to my knowledge) has always represented the present: their world as it stands at that moment in time. It does not show the future. Season 8, episode 2 intro shows winter marching south of winterfell to kings landing. I think this is validation: the NK is flying south to kings landing. I’m certain.

    I’ve heard the NK flying to Kings Landing theories, but I can’t recall the motivations attributed to that.

    1 million people live in Kings Lansing. Other than that, a major swerve, so that he dies in episode 5 instead of episode 3

    Bran stated last episode he wouldn’t put himself in direct danger, hence the trap in the gods wood. So the theory is, the NK takes his dragon to KL in order to take out the southern kingdom and expand his army to march north and sack everything along the way while his army from beyond the wall puts a hurt on Winterfell. It’s a feint military strategy and now that they are trying to trap him I could see him not showing up. He knows if he dies then the entire army falls.

    So are we saying just NK and Viserion are going on a special ops mission to kill as many people just the two of them so they can flank the north from the south?

    Jaime is going to be alive until the final episode.

    There was a lawsuit a while back involving Nikolaj where he had to reveal his contract details in court and it showed his character appearing in all 6 episodes of season 8.

    I mean I don’t think it’s too outlandish. He has a dragon, the element of surprise, and KL has a fuck ton of people that would give him an even bigger army. They also really don’t have any way to kill a wight dragon as no one does.

    I heard that it’s actually standard practice to sign actors for all episodes even if they are killed off early that way the actor is available in case of reshoots.

    Only hole in this theory (and its a large hole) is dragon fire kills them and would not allow them to be raised by the NK. Hard to form an army once you burn them. So maybe he’s just going to destroy them while his army takes winterfell (or so he hopes).

    No clue. Never seen him use the blue flame as a weapon yet so not sure if it acts the same or not. I’d assume so since it burned down the wall but they haven’t shown us anything that would suggest one way or another. Same as how it could be killed.

    Sir Davos is +210 dying before Melisandre. Theon -145 dying before euron. These feel like decent bets. Thoughts?

    not necessarily, depends on the negotiation, caliber of actor and writing. Doing deals for all actors for all eps would cost the ntwk a shit load of money. Nikolaj gets all eps most likely, especially after the first season bc he’s a series regular and lead. if he’s all eps pay or play, he gets his episodic fee for all of the eps.

    Davos could easily die tonight. Bet it’s trying to save the little girl that looks like shireen

    Theon dying for a stark I think could definitely happen, and euron isn’t dying tonight, but think he ends up ruler of iron islands

    Might want to edit your posts to warn that the spoilers have potential/likely screencaps of the episode. Some spoilers don't ruin much. Some spoilers ruin a lot. Those spoilers certainly tend toward the latter.

    While true, I think a warning of what exactly is shown would be helpful. Spoilers of screencaps are far more spoilerish than spoilers of typed-out rumors and whatnot.

    I sent the screen shots above to a friend and he just responded with a great question - if Jon and NK fight tonight, and Jon kills him tonight, does that also mean tonight is Dany’s death?
