i imagine he's been practicing smashing stuff to smithereens with his enormous war hammer that i assume he probably has now, and also slaying dimes 247

Gendry's storyline seems kind of irrelevant now since they're not even trying to act like Baratheon is the rightful ruling family and everyone knows about the brother/sister thing now.

also ksuw, why are you obsessed with the meera reed is jon snow's sister idea? i understand the subtle hints in the books, bu the show has offered up nothing to lead you to believe they're heading that way. also what would be the point?

The show offered one big hint: casting Meera to look like Jon's sister. That's a pretty big hint. And I don't think they gave her this big a role (relatively speaking) just to be Bran's sherpa. But mainly I just insert this anytime I can to annoy and/or humor people.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

Gendry is coming back.  For what reason is anyone's guess.  Maybe he'll be used to forge weapons with dragonglass.  I just don't see any importance to his storyline other than he is Robert's last known living bastard.  Maybe he is a love interest for Arya(if she's capable)

I would think that if BranRaven had no problem talking to his sister about her horrible wedding, he wouldn't have any remorse telling the girl who has been dragging him around for several years, "Oh hey, BTW, your dad isn't really your dad"

Speaking of that.  Do we ever meet Meera's dad?  Considering he is the only other living person outside of Bran that know's Jon's parentage.  He might be necessary to prove that fact.

Jaime obviously lives, maybe we don't see him in the next episode, but he still has to kill Cersei (she is too paranoid of Tyrion to allow him to be the one to do it)  And what does Cersei have to do to finally cause Jaime to snap and not follow her blindly?

The dagger will be used to kill Littlefinger.  Beyond that, I'm sure it has some significance with the white walkers.  Maybe it is the only weapon that can kill the night king.  you'd think Bran would've figured that out by now though.

I thought the same thing about the dothraki.  If Dany helps Jon, they better get the seamstresses working round the clock to get them some thicker underwear.

What's with Theon?  Does anyone really care about his storyline any more?  I'm guessing they're keeping him around so he can sacrifice himself for somebody.

How slow is the Army of the Dead?  Everyone else zips around the continent, but it apparently takes them years to march the same distance Meera dragged Brandon in a few episodes.  I can't imagine dead people need to stop for food or rest.  Unless they are being calculating, waiting for something to break the magic of the wall.

I also have this feeling that the 7 Kingdoms are going to look the similar as they did before Baratheon's reign.  This will all shake out post-White Walker war.

WNK's Prediction by the end of the series:

Winterfell - Starks (duh and with Sansa at the helm)
Casterly Rock - Jamie Lannister
The Riverlands - Edmure Tully (he is still being held captive)
Stormlands - Gendry!
The Vale - Robin Arryn (he is still alive and rightful ayre)   
The Reach (Highgarden) - See below.
Dorne - See below.

The Reach and Dorne will go to Dany and Jon's most trusted.  This could be those who came over from Essos and/or the Free Folk that were north of the wall.

Others:
Iron Islands - Theon will rule the Iron Islands.  His sister will have been slaughtered by her uncle.  Theon will end up killing him and will overcome his PTSD.
The Wall - Jorah Mormont will join the wall as a choice and take the reigns like his father before him.
Brienne of Tarth - She will go back to Stormlands or stay with Sansa.

Dany and Jon will be in King's Landing making tons of Targaryen babies.  The King and Queen's council will consist of Tyrion, Bran, Varys and Samwell Tarly.

       

Cersei and Littlefinger will be dead...unfortunately, as will Arya, Bronn, and the Cleganes. 

The 7 Kingdom's are united, with the common enemy being White Walkers north of the wall. 

If the above doesn't happen, then my money is on the White Walkers killing everyone.

Howland Reed and Meera being Jon's twin sister are more book things than a show things. With Meera leaving the show might not further develop that story.

What's with Theon?  Does anyone really care about his storyline any more?  I'm guessing they're keeping him around so he can sacrifice himself for somebody.

Theon is going to redeem himself by at least trying to save his sister.

At this point I'm mainly just interested to see what happens with the hound and Arya so I'd be pretty pissed if they're both dead by the end.

Still thinking about how much ass Podrick gets.  Basically the Burt Reynolds of Westeros.
