The first episode of the seventh installment of Game of Thrones churned out two exciting storylines—Daenerys versus Cersei and Jon versus the White Walkers. In brief, Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) is moulding an extensive army and has landed in the land of Dragonstone while Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) is at the top of the Westeros as the throne queen. Meanwhile, Jon Snow has realised that he's Targaryen, son of Rhaegar. And, Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) is plotting a revenge plan for Red Wedding family deaths.
Creators David Benioff and D. B. Weiss have laid the foundation carpet perfectly, but what's more thrilling is the unpredictability of the plot (of course, fans have already sensed it right from the teasers). After all, in Martin's world, anything can happen. The endgame is likely to showcase few more deaths of the good guys as some of them are repeating the history. Sometimes deaths are mourned and sometimes celebrated, so it is just a matter of who, when and how!
In an exclusive poll hosted on our Twitter handle, fans have predicted the end of Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish (played by Aidan Gillen) in this season. Petry triumphed with more than 50 percent of the vote followed by Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie) and Sandor "The Hound" Clegane (Rory McCann).
Well, when it comes to GoT, anything is possible but one thing for sure is "there will be blood." Who do you think will end their glory in this pre ultimate season. Comment or send us your thoughts.
