Game of Thrones Season 7 Predictions
Hello there, QQ readers and fellow Game of Thrones addicts! I'm so excited you've decided to join us as we attempt to fill the void in our hearts and Sunday night routines. With the delay from the usual schedule, it has now been over a year since the Season 6 finale of Game of Thrones. During that time we've re-read the books (you haven't?), recorded podcasts, and consolidated the history of the realm for curious show-watchers.
I planned to identify 10-15 important questions and ended up with a list of 32 of varying quality. Oops! Luckily, Weems, Madds, and Yax are supportive of my habits, so we have ourselves a competition! Predictions will only cover Season 7, and each loser must send one bottle of whiskey to the winner. Let's prognosticate!
Maggie the Frog getting some of that sweet finger blood you need for predicting the future in The Wars to Come S5E1
House Lannister:
Will Cersei Lannister survive Season 7? (split)
Cersei wiped out most of the enemies she knew in one big move; will it be enough to protect her from those she doesn't see coming?
- Truck: Yes
- Madds: No
- Weems: Yes
- Yax: Yes
If not, who kills Cersei? (consensus)
Tyrion needs no encouragement; Jaime has seen his sister turn into the king he forsook his vows to kill; plenty of options!
- Truck: Jaime
- Madds: Jaime
- Weems: Jaime
- Yax: Jaime
Does Euron form an alliance with Cersei? (consensus)
Both seem to be alone in a world now defined by a large host under the Targaryen banner to the south and the Stark banner to the north. Do the others remain together?
- Truck: Yes
- Madds: Yes
- Weems: Yes
- Yax: Yes
Euron Greyjoy definitely seems like the kind of guy Cersei would get along with in The Door (S6E5)
Which Lannister drinks most, Cersei or Tyrion?
This is a rule in our Game of Thrones drinking game for a reason; Cersei has no reason for concern until another army arrives, and Tyrion may well be traveling through Dorne and the Reach, both famous for their wine
- Truck: Tyrion
- Madds: Tyrion
- Weems: Cersei
- Yax: Tyrion
Lannister deaths, over/under 1.5? (consensus)
If you don't think Cersei dies, this one is easy; if not, do Tyrion or Jaime die along with their sister?
- Truck: Under
- Madds: Under
- Weems: Under
- Yax: Under
Myrcella Lannister under a golden shroud in The Red Woman (S6E1), just as Maggie the Frog predicted
Is Tyrion reunited with either of his siblings? (consensus)
Jaime has promised to kill Tyrion on sight while Cersei hardly needs to verbalize her intentions. Will speaking in person change their minds?

- Madds: Yes
- Weems: Yes
- Yax: Yes
House Targaryen
Will Daenerys Targaryen and Jon Snow meet? (split)
(Perhaps the only) Two remaining Targaryens are now situated to guide the future of Westeros. Will their paths cross?
- Truck: No
- Madds: Yes
- Weems: No
- Yax: Yes
Do any of Daenerys's dragons die? (split)
In theory, Dany would need three dragonriders for her children. If a third doesn't exist, does it suggest one of the three will die?
- Truck: No
- Madds: Yes
- Weems: No
- Yax: Yes
Does Dany get married again? (consensus)
Weddings in this world can be for strategy or love; will either be enough to force Dany into another arrangement?

- Weems: No
- Yax: No
Daenerys Targaryen married Khal Drogo in Winter is Coming (S1E1)
Dany and her most recent husband Hizdahr in The Gift (S5E7)
Does anyone besides Daenerys ride a dragon? (split)
You don't have to be a Targaryen to ride a dragon, but it certainly helps.

- Weems: Yes
- Yax: No
If so, who? (split)
- Truck: Jon Snow
- Madds: Jon Snow
- Weems: Tyrion Lannister
- Yax: Tyrion Lannister
Does Daenerys get attacked before making landfall on Westeros? (split)
Dany's forces seem overwhelming to those we've seen in Westeros; will they be thinned before she can deploy them?
- Truck: Yes
Madds: No - Weems: No
- Yax: Yes
If so, by who? (Greyjoys, Lannisters, Squishers, other) (split)
- Truck: Greyjoys
- Madds: Greyjoys
- Weems: Squishers
- Yax: Greyjoys
House Stark
Will Sansa kill Littlefinger? (split)
She has reasons on reasons on reasons; has Littlefinger's political guidance deterred her from throwing him off the ladder
- Truck: Yes
- Madds: Yes
- Weems: No
- Yax: Yes
Is Sansa pregnant with Ramsay's child? (split)
A theory I've seen a lot around the internet; it was Ramsay's goal, but does Sansa's path get even MORE difficult?
- Truck: No
- Madds: Yes
- Weems: Yes
- Yax: Yes
Sansa Stark shutting Lord Petyr Baelish down like the creepshow he is in The Winds of Winter (S6E10)
Does Jon learn about his parentage? (split)
Bran and Howland Reed are the two characters we've seen with knowledge of the Tower of Joy; will either cross paths with the new King in the North?

Is Arya reunited with any of her siblings? (consensus)
Arya is currently in the Riverlands, and it shouldn't take long for news of Jon's victory at the Battle of Winterfell to travel. Will she head north to join him? Or south to make more progress on her list?

- Madds: Yes
- Weems: Yes
- Yax: Yes

- Truck: No
- Madds: Yes
- Weems: Yes
- Yax: No
Does Sansa travel south of the Neck? (consensus)

- Madds: Yes
- Weems: Yes
- Yax: Yes
Does the Night King's brand on Bran have a negative effect on the Wall? (split)

- Yax: No
The Night's King grabbing Bran Stark in The Door (S6E5)

- Truck: Yes
- Madds: Yes
- Weems: Yes

- Truck: Yes
- Madds: Yes
- Weems: Yes
- Yax: Yes
Does Gendry make an appearance? (split)
