Is Arya fire proof like Danaerys?

I think the fact that he put the ring(s) in the cup is pretty good indication he wanted the girl to have it, since she'd likely be the one to collect the cup to take to the kitchen.

It may also have been a scene to show that he knew what his fate was and accepted it.

The rings could also have been a sign to his spiders - if I disappear and you find my rings, do XYZ, etc.

No. She has zero Targaryen blood.

Even Jon, who is half Targaryen, can be burned, as evidenced in the first season when he's injured torching the wight at Castle Black.

Totally. He knew.

That "goodbye old friend" from Varys to Tyrion after Tyrion coped to ratting him off was a bit rough.

That's going to weight heavily on him now that Dany has proven herself unhinged.

Wonder if that will lead to Tyrion doing something stupid. Well, more stupid.

Especially since he has to remember Varys was one of the people involved in getting him out of a tough spot before he could be executed.

Maybe that is the point Martin was trying to make. All despots are the same.

Question: Is there a role for the girl Greyjoy? Theon's sister? She is also a certifiable tough guy. I think they won't just leave that thread hanging.

With both Theon and Euron now dead, Yara Greyjoy is the only surviving Greyjoy, and therefore the only one with a clear claim to the Salt Throne. (She was her father's choice for his successor anyway, but Euron murdered his estranged brother King Balon and then drummed up enough support to get himself confirmed as king at a Kingsmoot through promises of wealth and plunder, despite the late king's express wishes for Yara to be next in line.)

Plus, Yara currently holds the Iron Islands, having successfully seized control with a small force since it was largely undefended due to Euron and the Iron Fleet being away in King's Landing, as reported by Varys a couple episodes ago.

Therefore, due to both her rightful claim and her actual control of the islands, Yara Greyjoy will almost certainly be confirmed as Queen of the Iron Islands during the next Kingsmoot, once word of Euron's death reaches the Islands.

It just remains to be seen if Yara and the Iron Islands will remain subservient to the Throne, or if they will revert to an independent kingdom.

Like Dorne, and The North (to a lesser extent), even while nominally under the control of the Throne, the Ironborn were always fiercely independent. So the preference of all three of those kingdoms would be to return to independence, which is a very real possibility if Dany is out of the picture.

I suspect that will be the end result. Yara on the throne of an independent Iron Islands in Pyke. Sansa on the throne of an independent North in Winterfell. Etc.

Yara was an interesting character, but I have the feeling that unless she shows up at some sort of group meeting called by Dany, or rebellion led by Jon, we won't be seeing her again. The way it's been depicted, the Ironborn have been decimated. As long as Dany has Drogon, they can't refuse her rule.

We still are also likely due revisiting Sansa, Brienne, Bran, Bronn, and maybe Pod, that I can think of, so they'll have a lot to fit in.

Would love to see Jon turn the dragon to his side kill the bitch and rule everything peacefully.

Man, that would probably be a living hell for him.

Probably him staggering off north of the wall in search of the free folk would be best for him at this point.

Of course this show isn't about happy endings so.......

Jon facing down zombie Viserion might have been him conducting a crazy test, which he seems to have passed. If a zombie dragon won't attack him, maybe a momma's-boy dragon won't either. Hell, he could just hop on that SOB and fly off leaving Dany in the dust. Fry the Unsullied and Dothraki, and call it a day.

Sloppy storytelling this season. I am just happy to know that I will kind of know what Martin planned.

A lot of Unsullied and Dothraki in the final episode trailer. Glad that she planned ahead for the Battle of Winterfell and left reserves on Dragonstone...

I suspect there will be a few hanging threads, since negotiation is underway regarding spinoffs on GOT. There is money to be made here. The best way to insure continued viewerships is to wrap up some of the stories but leave other avenues open.

They can always bring characters back to life like they did with Jon. Personally I just wish they let him die along with Bran. Too boring characters.

I have to respectfully disagree.
Without Jon coming back, the epic battle of the bastards would never have occurred.

Not to mention when him and Dany were first introduced......this is Dany blah blah blah. Then the simple , this is Jon Snow

Any chance that Drogon, who has at times ignored Dany (took her away to that grass mountain, back on Essos, and then ignored her so she had to wander off on foot) went rogue and it was him rather than Dany doing the overkill?

Nah, who am I kidding. He was under control enough to take out the Red Keep.

So, is there anything actually in King's Landing worth staying and fighting for now, or does it become New Harrenhall? I wouldn't want to be reigning over that mess and having to do urban renewal (and rehabilitation) for whatever fraction of the King's Landing populace who survived, all of whom would hate the winning side - the one that did the sacking/burning/killing - worse than they hated Cersi.

(Hard to imagine anything that would make Cersi look good, but, yeah, give the devil her due....)
