WELCOME TO THE YOU WRITE OR YOU DIE'S 100TH POST SPECIAL!
As you all
know Game of Thrones Season/Series 6 begins at the end of April so I
thought I'd share some of my own theories as to what will happen
next.
There may
be spoilers and there may not be, I'll leave that up to you but I
know nothing of the upcoming new series/season so these
opinions/theories are only my own and should not be considered show
or book canon.
---
CERSEI
LANNISTER:
When we left
Cersei she had just finished her Walk of Shame and was basically a
tearful mess with badly injured bloody feet. Her one ally and
apparent friend Qyburn, gave her a present of Robert Strong, a mute
somewhat frightening giant of a Kingsguard (Who may or may not be a
Frankengregor) who has vowed to crush all her enemies personally.
Now, although tearful Cersei was clearly delighted by this gift and
that was where we left her arc.
SERIES/SEASON
SIX:
I have a
feeling that the next series will see a changed Cersei who is more of
a force for good but that this will be a complete lie in order for
her to utilize Robert Strong and have him deal with her enemies. She
may use him to literally decimate the High Sparrow and his followers.
As for the
prophecy, we know all three of her children are basically doomed and
will all die before she does. Joffrey is gone, Myrcella seems to be
gone, so that only leaves Tommen. Or so we think.
In Series 1,
Cersei mentions to Catelyn Stark who is tending over her injured son
Bran that she had another son, Robert's son, who died of a fever
although they tried everything to save him. But if this is meant to
be series canon then how sure can she be that the boy actually died?
Cersei herself said that she never visited the grave and it has been
known for children to survive worse on Game of Thrones such as
Shireen and her greyscale.
Could
Gendry, being one of Robert's bastard children, actually be Cersei's
son, and as she is an actual anoined Queen, the true heir to the Iron
Throne?
STANNIS
BARATHEON:
When we left
Stannis he was in the worst state imaginable, defeated rather
humiliatingly by Ramsay Bolton, dumped by Melisandre and her god, his
wife dead by her own hand and his daughter Shireen ultimately
sacrificed to no avail in helping take the Iron Throne. Stannis is
then found alone by Brienne and executed justly, off camera I might
add.
SERIES/SEASON
SIX:
No matter
how he had Renly murdered with a Shadow Baby, Stannis is actually
Robert's heir to the Iron Throne and therefore the actual King of
Westeros. There is also a rather slim, extremely slim, possibility
that Brienne spared him and allowed him to live, striking the tree
instead.
Bear in mine
that Brienne doesn't know that Sansa has leapt from the walls of
Winterfell with Theon. And Stannis, being the Bolton's sworn enemy
who they just defeated soundly in battle, would be her leverage to
gain entrance to Winterfell in order rescue Sansa after Brienne
failed to see the lit candle that called her to her aid.
Could
Stannis kill Ramsay himself and then take Winterfell with Brienne?
SANSA STARK?
LANNISTER? BOLTON?
When we left
Sansa, she was literally going through Hell with her new husband
Ramsay Bolton. Then Theon murdered his Masters mistress and the two
leapt from the walls of Winterfell together.
SEASON/SERIES
SIX:
I for one,
cling to the theory that Sansa and Theon are not lying at the bottom
of one of Winterfell's walls with two broken legs and would make
their way to the nearest stronghold to find safety as quickly as
possible.
One
possibility is that somehow they reach the Iron Island's and the
safety of Theon's remaining family there. The other is that they
head for the Wall in an attempt to find safety amongst the Nights
Watch and the protection of her only (To her) surviving brother Jon
Snow.
DAENERYS
TARGARYEN:
When we left
Dany, she had hopped on Drogon and abandoned her newfound kingdom,
which was in dire straits anyway, leaving behind her friends and
allies. Naturally, an injured Drogon, needed to rest and heal his
wound so she took the time to look around her new surroundings. Only
to then be surrounded by the most massive Dothraki horde ever
witnessed.
SEASON/SERIES
6:
In spite of
what happened with Drogo dying and almost all her Khalasar being
wiped out, Daenerys has some legendary status amongst the Dothraki as
The Mother of Dragons. But now, she is all alone and currently
without an injured Drogon's protection or any of her allies.
So...Will
the Dothraki make her their prisoner? Will they force to her marry
the current Khal? Or will Drogon fly in, eventually and save her
before anything worse can happen?
My theory is
this: public humiliation. In a direct mirroring to Cersei's walk of
shame, Daenerys will be paraded and humiliated in the worst possible
ways that the Dothraki have. But, her shaming will not end until
someone comes to save her.
JORAH
MORMONT:
When we left
him, Jorah was riding out with Daario, a gifted warrior and Daenerys
current bedmate, to bring her back to Meereen and safety. He was also
suffering from greyscale and had told no one. Not even his beloved
Daenerys.
SERIES/SEASON
6:
There's no
denying that something unspoken on Daenerys part passed between her
and Jorah in that arena, that she saw him in a whole new light rather
then as a friend as before. The possibility of a romance between
Jorah and Daenerys brings to light a whole wealth of opportunities
for the Silver Queen.
Marriage to
a Westerosi noble, even a disgraced and then pardoned one, lends more
weight to her claim for the Iron Throne.
Jorah's
status and talent as a warrior, brings in fighters to bolster her
army. And he would literally die for her, which is a bonus.
These are just a few theories/opinions of my own for series/season 6. I'm not including characters who have been subject to somewhat spoilery posts on various websites all ready. None of these are spoilers and should not be taken literally.
