Sure looks to be heading that way. A mad queen(s) now, instead of the mad king. Bran is the new 3-eyed raven. Dragons are back. Targaryen's are back. Most of the great houses are done for, with new ones sure to rise.
As I think about all that, I'll take the long-shot bet on Sam on the Iron Throne.
Can't say for certain if I'd be disappointed if it ends with the WW winning and enslaving Dany.
only ending that would truly disappoint me is if it ends with dany on the Iron throne... as that's what the whole story has kinda been building to for her. I would like to see the north stay independent if there is anything left to independent from.
Back to jon and king of the north... Now hes the king he knows nothing of an army of dragons on the way as far as I know. Does he try to marry to help fortify the north? ie bring in an army thru marriage.
where would he turn in the seven kingdoms for that? Thinking jon wont take this route with the way weddings in the stark family have been going. Does he rally the north to the wall? knowning there are still enemies elsewhere?
Right now we don't get to see the happenings at the wall because we have no PoV there anymore... If sam does maister training he wont be back for a while... So im thinking that's not his story. He probly finds a piece of info in the library there and rushes back to the wall...
One part of his story they kind of skiped was when he landed in bravos with measter aemon. who then dies in bravos. but sam sees arya there..
in the books he has met arya and bran and knows of rickon(not that that is an issue any more but if jon knew where rickon was before he might have been able to help). but never tells jon...
(starting to think jon knowns nothing because no one tells the poor bastard anything lol)
