lol that prophecy isn't gonna mean shit. i can bet on it. i know i'm being obnoxious right now, but i just feel like people put too much faith in that scene in general. when @sati is probably right that D&D have forgotten about it by now and probably just added that line in to make mel sound mysterious anyways If nothing ever comes out of the prophecy, it will be by far the most WTF scene of the entire show  Nothing on that scale has been dropped to date. Nah, the biggest plot hole by far is Cersei's forgotten dark haired baby. Ahh, and baby Sam doesn't grow up. I guess he suffers the Maggie Simpson syndrome. |

So as Dany and Tyrion are trying to reach KL, Cersei will burn it, but will be stopped by Jaime? I'm gonna be annoyed if Chekhov's Forgotten Wildfire Caches only almost go off. Agreed. Jaime needs to step aside this time and let a lady do her thing. Then they can die together under a green sunrise, it will all be very romantic  |

I completely forgot about that baby to be honest |

Just a random thought, but I think season 6 could provide closure to what we could roughly call Act II of the story. I think of it this way.... Act I (Seasons 1-3): War of the Five Kings / Fall of the Starks / Rise of the Lannisters / Rise of Daenerys / Awakening of Magic. Biggest scene and climax = the Red Wedding, effectively the end of the war. Act II (Seasons 4-6): Aftermath of the War / Gradual rise of the Stark children / Fall of the Lannisters / Crisis in Meereen / Religious upheaval. Biggest scene and climax = Probably Snowbowl. So Season 6 could end with Bran, Sansa, Arya and Jon in positions of real power; the Lannister family in ruins (if Cersei and Jaime break up for good); the Meereen issue solved and the Faith Militant and R'hllor fronts clarified if not outright resolved. And then we're basically ready for the final stretch whatever that is! It seems to be the Others-Walkers-Night-King-Others thingy. I am thinking the big surprise S6 will some weird thing the Other-Walkers go and end on some creepy big note about the Others. Tho I can't see S7 and S8 being all Others stuff. The immigrant issue will probably be a focus of Act III as well, the alliance of wildlings with the westerosi, etc. And maybe the fall of their whole political system as they know it. It's already starting to crack with the High Sparrow's intended theocracy in season 6. |

It's already starting to crack with the High Sparrow's intended theocracy in season 6. It's an interesting theory I've read in several places. Perhaps the collapse of feudal system is one of the ultimate consequences of Dany's invasion (first) and the White Walkers invasion (then). It will be interesting to see how the different peoples and cultures settle after the big wars. |

I think the battle against the White Walkers will go on up north while civil war tears the south apart. Dany will win the North's support somehow then move downward. And just when she's at the gates of King's Landing, Cersei's gonna turn the city into the biggest fucking blunt in the seven kingdoms and burnnnn.

Perhaps the collapse of feudal system is one of the ultimate consequences of Dany's invasion (first) and the White Walkers invasion (then). It will be interesting to see how the different peoples and cultures settle after the big wars. It's possible. The real Middle Ages died after a series of confrontations, a massive plague (greyscale?) that contributed to destroying the old system, and the rise of trade. Some of the Free Cities already have a Renaissance feel to them.... and if Dany makes them interact with Westeros, well.... Only thing that perhaps doesn't fit is that religion seems to be increasingly strong all around Planetos.... but we don't really know if that will last or what those pesky maesters are up to. If R'hllor turns out to be a massive disappointment (or a fraud, or something evil), things could change. And a massive greyscale epidemy or a WW onslaught would make the whole world question their faith. |

So we would have Dany landing north first, would be a nice twist. |

But I think she will face some kind of foe along the way, before finally reaching King's Landing. My bet is on Euron. |

So many smart and funny people here, and true show fans. I especially thank @alcasinoroyale, he brought me here after seeing me fighting bravely (and vainly) against the Rant and Ravers in that site. |

And just when she's at the gates of King's Landing, Cersei's gonna turn the city into the biggest fucking blunt in the seven kingdoms and burnnnn. Yeah I think it's likely that Jon, Sansa, Davos, and the Northern Lords will deal with bringing The North, The Vale, and The Riverlands together to fight the WW. If Varys ends up making an alliance with Doran and opening the door for Dany to land in Dorne after he's finished his "little birds" business in KL, I think we'll see Dany end up landing in Dorne and then march to King's Landing from the south. And once Cersei realizes that Dany and her army are close, she'll fucking annihilate King's Landing. Also considering that Euron would be invading the Reach, Dany could potentially face him before gaining support in the North or making a move on the capital. So yes the civil war would essentially be Lannister-Greyjoy vs. Targaryen-Tyrell-Martell, even if Cersei doesn't completely ally with Euron. Although it is possible that Dany and her entourage land in the Vale and then like you said, win the North's support, and then march to KL from the north. |

Also I believe Cersei will burn KL to ground (with Jaime killing her) way before Dany reaches the city. The foe Dany will face won't be the Lannisters, it's the Greyjoys.
queenbowl won't happen

I think there's more to his plans about raiding Oldtown than just riches. Something about the Citadel would be my guess. |

I think his main impact will be on Sam and Dany. Euron may obtain the book/secret but he wont know what to do with it. I think that's where Sam will come in. But Dany will just destroy him imo, she would never be allies with him by choice. |
