About to hit the 5000 post mark on the old thread, the first season 7 trailer today seems like the right time to start the final Game of Thones thread.
I'm going back to the original rules pre-2015. I don't think we need supervision or bannings. Just don't be a dick. Post anything you find online that hasn't aired yet inside of spoiler tags. That's pretty much it. I think we can all handle that...

If this plays out like George's original outline, all of that is possible.
IF that theory plays out... it could go something like this.
Arya and the Hound team up to take out Cersei, instead find the Mountain. Who they burn to death.
I think Jaime's killing Cersei at that point or ordered to arrest her. They struggle, perhaps both die? She was worried about the wrong brother.
I think Tyrion is using the wildfire on Dany's orders to obliterate King's Landing. EDIT: Or Dany just spitroasts it with Drogon and activates the wildfire. Why would Tyrion be executed in this scenario? Siding with Dany? IDK.
I think Dany demands the Starks to bend the knee. Sansa learns to play the game, and unlike her grandpa, orchestrates and convinces Jon to kill Dany.
Tyrion goes on trial afterwards for burning down KL. He fully accepts the charges (an inverse when Tywin put him on trial, where he says he wished the city burned). If he doesn't do this... maybe it's supporting Dany? Maybe he's framed? Idk.
Series ends but instead of the wheel breaking, it's the Starks fully playing the game and taking control of the wheel. The series' Aragorn takes the throne heartbroken, and quite possibly, is put with the girl who was destined to be queen from the beginning (Sansa). Jon is miserable (unlike Aragorn), and is in the exact position of power that he never wanted at all - while Sansa begins to feel way too much like Cersei. Arya goes back to Winterfell with Gendry, Bran goes off to either become the TER beyond the wall or the new NK.
It's an inverse LOTR. Instead of feeling happy the heroes won, you're sad they're playing the game at all.
My theories about the Night King were completely shot to ****, so I could be way off here. [Reply]

Sam will shit the bed again and then get torched like his father did for not bending the knee. Something also makes me think that Sansa might get it too for her comments in the crypt that Missandrei heard and reacted to. [Reply]
I really doubt that Tyrion would burn down Kings Landing for Dany. He vehemently castigated her for burning the Tarlys. He has actually been the one most concerned with the welfare of the non-nobility. [Reply]

The rumor is that the final episode is another trial for Tyrion. He somehow betrays everyone he's with right now by the end of the season. One rumor is that he kills everyone in King's Landing with Wildfire. And I mean *everyone* in King's Landing. The entire city goes up like the Sept.
I don't know why or how this happens, but the trial scene was reportedly filmed in the King's Landing Dragonpit.
We'll see. I kind of hope it's not true.
I've read that spoiler too. Think it's bunk since the list of people that die at Winterfell according to that spoiler was almost completely wrong. [Reply]

I agree Bronn is for Bronn. Thats my point. Cersi is a loser for him. No way he benefits. He has to know shes already pissed for letting Tyrion into Kings landing. He was Jamie's man. Jamie is a traitor. No way, no scenrio exists where Cersi lets him enjoy a cushy life as a lord, castle or keep a bag of gold. Its not in Bronn's self interest. [Reply]

I'm thinking something more along the lines of Oberyn.
Like, "AHHH Yeah! Oberyn is about to get his revenge on The Mountain! Nice!" Followed by, "Ah shit, Oberyn just got his fucking face crushed!"
Or Season 1, "Pffff they'll never kill off such a central character like Ned Stark. We all know he'll get out of this by the end of the season"
"OMG TEY FUCKIN KILLED NED STARK! WHAAA?"
We need some of THAT. Because THAT is what made GoT great. [Reply]
I'm thinking something like: Jon Snow has to fight the Mountain to get to Cersi, and we'll fully expect Jon Snow to kill the Mountain, and then the Mountain lops Snow's head off.
That would be classic GoT and leave us all going, "whaaaa???" [Reply]

Sure, then Arya and or the Hound kill the mountain. That could happen. Leaving Cersi on the throne could happen but a very long shot. If Cersi is gone, the mountain has to go. Why has the hound been kept around? Has to be to kill the mountain. [Reply]

Something that I can see happening from that since I do remember reading that was filmed...
Spoiler!
Tyrion has a Trial by Combat. Cersei is represented by undead Gregor. Daenerys is represented by Sandor. Clegane bowl. Sandor wins. IF Tyrion indeed betrayed Daenerys (which is so fucking stupid but with these writers...) then he's executed by Dragonfire.
