Note: Not everything happened as predicted, but it was an interesting read.
My take on Arya Stark killing Baelish:
I discussed on youtube a possibility that Arya Stark might kill Lord Petyr Baelish finally.
We all know that baelish is one of the smartest and the most clever person in game of thrones, who has always found a way to dodge others and move up the ladder. He never does anything that doesn’t benefit him in some way. He has betrayed almost everyone around him, and he can harm anyone for his good.
He is a really good planner, and we never get to know all his plans before they are executed.
We watched in initial seasons that he was jealous of Ned Stark, since he wanted to marry Caitlin. He had a role to play in Ned’s death. He tricked cerise to force Sasna write to Ned, which now he is using to cause differences among Arya and Sansa.
Do you remember when someone tried to kill Bran with a dagger? It was most probably baelish behind it. As recently Bran received that dagger as a gift from Baelish, he asked him if he knows to whom this dagger belong to? Interestingly in the past, baelish maintained that it belonged to tyrion lannister, but he refused to have any information about that.
Even more interestingly, bran knows everything that has happened in the past. He probably knows that baelish had a role in that too. And he must have some clues about his involvement in Ned’s death.
Bran repeated the conversation between barlish and varys where baelish talked about chaos and how it helps him gain more power. The reaction of baelish was astonishing. He was shocked to hear Bran repeat his own words.
“Choas is a Ladder”
Baelish has been showing some loyalty to Sansa. But he was the one who sold Sansa out to Boltons. What Ramsay did to her is unforgivable. If baelish was so serious about her, why would he do that. And now we have seen that he is using the old message of Sansa to create differences with Arya.
Clearly he is playing against Jon here. He expected to control winterfell if Sansa was to become the rightful head of the north. But things didn’t go as he expected. Jon snow is now the king in the north.
And he must get rid of him. That’s the only way he can grab some power here.
Its all so well connected. Baelish had tried to create differences between Tyrion and Starks after he claimed that the dagger was owned by Tyrion. Unfortunate for him, Jon and Tyrion actually respect eachother. Another setback for Baelish.
He even pushed Aunt Lysa Arryn to death. The woman he claimed to love and successfully able to get her trust. Sansa kept quiet and used this to get the support of Baelish in the war. But she isn’t that dumb as she pretends. She also knows him well. And she knows that Baelish in not the one who could be trusted.
Then why is she following him blindly now? We will know this for sure very soon. And I hope she wouldn’t disappoint us fans.
Bran stark knows what Baelish is upto and how he is playing against stark girls now. He might come to the rescue.
We are not sure if he can see the future yet. May be he has got a grip on it too now. If he has, it would be even more interesting. Since he gifted that dagger to Arya now. He probably knows the best use of it would be to avenge the Baelish.
Arya with her long training with faceless men and tough tests in life, has now become a cold blooded murderer. She would not think for a second before taking anyone’s life now. And she hates Baelish as much as everyone else.
If somehow she gets a clue that Baelish is behind recent misunderstandings, or he had a role in destroying the starks, should would happily kill Baelish. There is no way baelish can escape this.
Even better, if Bran shares something with Arya which is worth looking into, it may help her take a decision against Baelish quickly.
When will it happen? I believe Baelish will continue to disrupt the north while the King in the north Jon Snow is out in the open, and going to meet Cersie. Baelish will have interesting role to play and keep the viewers busy.
I think, in the start of season 8, and most probably before the great war with the dead, Baelish will meet his fate.
Game of Thrones Season 7 Finale Deaths & Predictions
Lets first talk about the promo. There is going to be a grand alliance between the only 2 important sides now. Meanwhile, the white walker Jon Snow and the company captured beyond the wall would be arriving with Hound.
As you know that Daennarys has brought her whole two armies; the unsullied and the dothorakis. Both are ready to take the charge if anything goes wrong or a trap is found.
Cersei for sure wanted a trap, but we are not sure how. She is clever enough not to kill herself. And she wouldn’t do anything that could result in such during the meeting an an alliance.
Now She should have the truth about white walkers and the real threat they all are facing. Shes left with no other choice but to fight against the dead. She might plan to assassinate daenarys or kill her dragons. But she would also have to make sure the dead are defeated first.
Interestingly, we don’t see daennarys in the meeting during the promo. I believe she will make a dramatic entrance riding her dragon. And this is going to make a solid impact. Exactly what she wants to do.
The story as it is going, some of these 4 people are going to be dead in Finale.
We saw Theon Grejoy in the promo, but we have no clue about her sister Yara. His uncle is not seen torturing her or anything. Most probably shes dead. Theon has come to realize his mistakes and needs the redemption.
Second is Beric. He has lived 6 lives, but now he has no one who could bring him alive again. I think this is going to be the end for him.
Third is Hound. He has returned with the white walker. He has faced enough already. And I don’t see any role for him. If hes not killed by someone before the great war, he wont survive the war with the dead.
Lastly, Littlefinger is going to die soon. He may see the end in this final episode. Or He would be killed by Arya at the start of season 8.
The finale has an Interesing title as well. “Dragon and the wolf”. You might think its about daenarys and Jon. But clearly, it is only related to Jon alone. As we have seen, he is the legitimate son of Rhaegar Targeryan and Lyanna Stark. He is half wolf and half dragon.
This episode should reveal it to Jon as well. I’m expecting enough time given to this as well. This story needs some movement, and now is the right time.
We haven’t seen sam and gilly in a while. They may arrive with this information. Or Bran might disclose it first.
On the other side, Baelish may make some move and create more differences among stark sisters. He might plan something against Bran now. Bran is too dangerous for littlefinger.
Coming back to the grand alliance, I strong believe they will make one. But it will be with the lack of trust, and cersei will never miss an opportunity for harming dragons or Daennarys.
On the other side of wall, night king has viserion, the ice dragon. He also has giants, and he might have white elephants. He has a really strong army with him now.
But how will he cross the wall? There is a magic in there. His Dragon might help him break that magic. Or, Sam and Bran might find something that could stop him there.
In past episode I talked about Bran being the night king. I really hope its not true. We can’t see him turn into him. This would be heartbreaking for us.
