Is there a way for Cersei to willingly join the Night King? Like, is there canon showing how to be "converted" into something like him and retain your personality, soul, etc...? I could see her doing that if Jaime is dead or she knows they can't be beaten.
I went ahead and googled this and it turns out that this is a common prediction, in one way or another, so I think I'm going to stick with this as what I want to happen: Night King is tired of converting human babies to new versions of whatever the hell he is, convinces Cersei to convert into a one herself so she can rule as Night Queen, and then get her pregnant for some kind of Night Baby to create a new legacy or whatever. Evil wins. The End.
Disclaimer to all of that is that I don't really care about any of the characters remaining, except Davos and maybe Arya, so I'm hoping for something shocking and bleak since that's ultimately more interesting to me than Jon and Dany having a baby or something lame like that.
Not sure I want to spend an episode or two with Jon brooding over what he learned + the conflict between him and Dany.
I think the story that’s hardest to predict in some ways is Cersei. She’s so disconnected from the rest of the cast right now and there are so many variables for what she does and how it relates to the endgame.
As bad as it can be at times, I feel like if the show has some form of deal made between Cersei and the Night King that it’s officially jumped the shark lol. That sounds awful.
Oh wait, I forgot about the NK himself. There are so many ways that could go off the rails in hilarious ways. The fact that there are only 5 episodes left and there isn’t the slightest hint as to what he actually wants (or is capable of wanting) is insane.
Bran is going to warg into the Night King and yeet himself for the greater good but at the last second the Night King is gonna rip it’s face off to reveal it was Arya who was cosplaying to accomplish the same feat and Bran will have killed himself and Arya and everyone will have wacky hats
