A final check-in before the last episode. I’m really not doing well at all. As before, I’ve added some of my later explanations to the original predictions so we can judge the accuracy.
Came true:
zilch
Half true:
TC 3. Danaerys will show her Father’s influence before it is all over. When she does, Tyrion and Varys will turn on her, and support Jon as the new leader. But I don’t think Danaerys will be humiliated or crushed, I just think she will lose Tyrion’s and Varys’s support for the throne. It may be though, that when we finally learn what she means by " . . . break the wheel" this will all be moot.
TC 12. I really want a scene in which Sansa recognizes Tyrion’s worth, and thanks him for protecting her/refusing to hurt her. I’d especially like for her to fall in love with him, but I’m not greedy. I think he winds up making her queen
Sansa is the smartest, the strongest, and the most strategic of all of them though. She is everything her father was, and all the things he wasn’t.
Still in play:
TC 4. Sansa will actually wind up in charge of the Kingdom.
TC 9. The Greyjoy’s castle will fall into the sea.
False or Impossible now:
TC 1. Remember when Melisandre told Varys that she had to die in Westeros, just like him? The look on his face? I think that was part of what he heard from the demon flames as a child. I think the rest of that prediction will turn out to be the common thread of every story in Westeros.
I’m particularly pissed off about this one. We are never to find out what the dem voice in the flames said? Really?
TC 2. The Night’s King is a double agent, just as Jon was with the Wildlings. He will have come to respect the White Walkers, but will help Jon destroy them just the same.
TC 5. Tormond and Jamie will get into a scrape competing to be the one to die for/protect Brienne.
TC 6. Ned Stark will come back from the dead; he will be like a wight, but loyal to Winterfell, not the Night’s King. (possibly both if that’s appropriate.)
TC 7. The Hound will kill the Mountain, but as an act of mercy, not of revenge.
TC 8. Jon will stick one of the ice-made swords into Melisandre’s breast, and it will come out glowing -> Lightbringer.
TC 10. In their first reunion, Arya runs past Jon to hug Gendry.
TC 11. Gilly’s status as Sister/Aunt to all the White Walkers will be important and possibly save the day at some point. In the books, her baby (the one still at the wall) will be important too. In the show, I don’t think he will be
