Yeah I don't think anyone would seriously expect Margaery to survive it. BUT, if we were to entertain the idea, the fact that we saw High Sparrow disintegrate into nothingness while we didn't Margaery could, in some other show like Arrow, mean that she found an improbable way to get out of there in the nick of time and we just didn't see it. 

 

But, yeah, she's ashes. I don't see what further dramatic purpose she serves and using all those deaths to fuel Olenna's thirst for revenge is delicious.

 

 

By uniting do you mean as a couple/husband and wife? Because, based on info we have now, he's her nephew! lol Not that that means anything on this show. They might unite as "family."  

 

 

 

 

As for Daario, I think they've been doing an arc on how Dany has been changing and becoming colder and more ruthless. They've at least implied part of her ancestors' villainy may live inside her and could, potentially, take over. At this point, she's so close to getting what she wants, so Daario will be eliminated if he stands in her way for sure. 

 

 

Lady Mormont? Say it ain't so!

Way back when Khal Drogo died, I thought obviously Dany and Jon will marry and rule the seven kingdoms together. People may have died, but there will be a general restoration of the status quo I don't think that any more.

 

Then I thought Dany is bringing in a lot of people who haven't lived under the system of the seven kingdoms. The wildings are coming, so maybe this is about a new world order. Jon will sacrifice himself and Dany will rule. Now a lot of those new people are either dead or staying in Mareen. Some of them will be canon fodder for the Night's King, so I don't think that anymore either.

 

Now I think of Ramsey saying "If you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention".

I still think someone unlikely will rule in the end - our big heroes will do the heavy lifting to stop the Night's King, but none of them will sit on the Iron Throne long. I think most of them will fade away, die in battle or go off somewhere. My bet is on someone like a well-managed and well-counseled King Gendry of all people, the humble commoner boy who is an acceptable and stable Baratheon face. Maybe with Sam Tarly as his Maester, or Tyrion or Bran as his Hand (shades of Brynden Rivers, the prior Three-Eyed Raven, who I believe was Hand to Aerys I). Maybe with Brienne as Lord Commander of the Kingsguard. Likely with Sansa as Queen or Wardeness of the North.

 

I don't see Jon or Daenerys living through the winter. They will fight and die to save the realm, or one will simply leave it. Titans like that only last in legend, not in the everyday life. Or perhaps Daenerys (and Jon?) will have a child, and he or she will be shepherded to take the Throne someday from a Regent or Lord Protector among our cast.

That's sad that the amount of hours left is bingeable in a day.  I can't even imagine TV without GoT now.   They should do spin offs:  young Jaime, Robert, Lyanna and Ned in the time of the mad king, another about the adventures of uncle Benjen north of the wall, one maybe about Drogo The Barbarian, and a Dallas type drama called Casterly Rock.   That would be a good show given an 80s soap  treatment.

Yeah, that's just one reason I have my doubts on the now repeatedly stated 13. I think the actors and showrunners have both suggested that number, but I just can't see it being that fast. HBO aside, I think the story is too sprawling. There's dealing with Daenerys' arrival and the Mad Queen Cersei, then there's the White Walkers. Unless they intend to double-size some episodes...

    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.

    • Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.
    • I can't remember exactly but I think she lives in or is part of the cottage story with Carrie. Carrie poisons her in this episode.  I forgot Teresa was on the show. (I see that AI is insisting she wasn't - well they're wrong) Poor Maeve. I can how even she had her limits. 
    • It pisses me off that the other Duprees are making this incident all about them as well. They are playing a family of victims, acting as if Ted cheated on all of them. They should be supportive, but not like this. I have a family that makes anything that happens to me personally all about them, and seeing the same thing on TV is rage-inducing.
    • There are the makings of good Emmy reels in these past couple of episodes, but the industry is still going to favor even the most mediocre stories and performances on the older soaps. And with the pressure from the government over race I can see the academy shutting out Beyond The Gates to avoid criticism from the administration and the far right media.
    • oh, definitely! It's too bad she hit the start of a rough transition period for the show. She shines, but she's stuck with bad story and some (if not exactly bad) not great co-stars.  Uh, who did Maureen O'Sullivan play? (Sigh--and only if I'd understood exactly who and how wonderful Teresa Wright was in '86) God, the summer of '84 was literally one event after another. Kim's outfit alone must've been worth a small fortune. And poor Maeve. She looks so uncomfortable. Rebecca Hollen told a story on Locher Room where Maeve dropped the f-bomb during the shooting of it. For some reason, she wasn't being listened to, and had just had enough. As a producer, I would've been holding my breath as my pregnant actress kept walking around strange and undoubtably uneven sets in that long skirt.
