Game of Thrones final episode. [View all]

I must admit that I have paid little to no attention to the series. Haven't watched 15 minutes of it total. But the daily write ups and speculation on what happens next on newsfeed turned out to be hard to avoid. So, for the last couple of weeks I have been reading some of the recounts, speculation. From the summary of the last show I found out that Danerys went fullblown murderous psycho and is likely to take a sword in the gut a few times during the coming episode, with Arya Stark doing the honors.

But my feeling? I would not put money on a happy ending where good triumphs over evil (or evil driven by a predisposition toward insanity as is speculated with Danerys). Modern movie show-runners seem to really get the line between good and evil muddled. Hell, Arya Stark may slip in to kill Danerys, have a chat with her and kill everyone else to put Danerys on the Iron Throne. That is how I view the modern show-writing, like a large segment of society, unable to distinguish between good and evil.

For those that have truly followed the series, what is your take on what happens Sunday?

My guess is that Dany dies (Arya will kill Dany), and Jon goes to the Iron Throne as Drogon's master mr_lebowski May 2019 #9
I think Jon Snow will end up on the Iron Throne, but he will not want it. Downtown Hound May 2019 #7
Tyrion didn't betray Varys Boomer May 2019 #11
Varys was right to try and poison Daenerys Downtown Hound May 2019 #12
