16. Daenerys Vs Cersei: Battle For The Throne
There’s a storm coming to King’s Landing. No, it’s not an ice storm. In fact, it’s the direct opposite. Leading the most brutal battalion known to man is none other than Daenerys Targaryen, and she brings with her the promise of fire and blood in the form of relentless warriors and three gargantuan winged serpents. The time has finally come for the Mother of Dragons to meet Cersei Lannister, and things will not go well when it happens.
While we all know that Daenerys’ offense will not be immediate due to a few distractions that will pop up in her way (more on that later), she’s definitely closer than ever to realizing her destiny as the true heir to the Iron Throne. If or not she succeeds to conquer it, and at what cost, remains to be seen, but one thing is for certain… the path is clear and a meeting between these women of abundant power and drive is inevitable. It could happen at the start of the season, or the showrunners could make us wait for the epic season finale, but one way or the other, the core of Season 6 revolves around the march of Daenerys Targaryen and her alliance towards the Citadel to take from Cersei what she treasures most, the Iron Throne.
15. Jon Snow’s Finds Out About His Bloodline
For 17 years, fans of George R.R. Martin’s epic series of books have wondered if their R + L = J theory held any water, and if Jon Snow was indeed the son of Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen. In the grand finale of Season 6, it was confirmed that Jon Snow is indeed a Stark, and his mother is none other than Ned Stark’s sister, Lyanna. But what of his father?
While it’s pretty much a given that Jon’s father comes from the Dragon bloodline, we’ll have to once again wait and see how things pan out in Season 7 when it finally premieres in 2017. Was Rhaegar a vile and torturous person like some say he was, or did Lyanna elope with him because they were in love? And what about Jon’s mother? How will things change once Jon knows that he was, all the while, a true Stark like the rest of his family and not an illegitimate child like he was made to believe all these years. Brandon Stark knows the truth, and now all that’s left is a reunion of the brothers for all to be revealed. It also begs the question… what happens when Jon Snow realizes he has Targaryen blood in him? Where does that put him in terms of being King in the North? He’ll obviously no longer be a White Wolf, but what’s next? So many questions, and no answers just yet.
