I’ve been reading Mueller and impeachment articles and takes for, it seems, 196 straight hours and am about to lose it, so I thought I’d ask around and see: Who do you think will win it all in Westeros?
If you’ve been living in a cave, or simply living the good life without getting sucked into the Game of Thrones vortex, all you need to know is that the decades-long series is coming to an end in the next month or so.
And there’s a lot of debate about who’s going to survive, who’s going to die, and most of all, who ends up ruling Westeros after all the dragon dust and army-of-the-dead putrifaction settles.
I have my theory, and if you’ve been watching, odds are you have yours, too. And if my brief but totally scientific poll of a few random people I know is accurate, no two theories are alike.
But unless the season ends with a Sopranos fade-to-black, somebody is likely to end up on the throne. Who do you bet it will be? (Note that I’m not asking who you want it to be — I’ll let someone else poll that one!)
Even after all the death and slaughter in the first 7 seasons, there are still nearly as many claimants and aspirants to the throne as there are Democratic presidential candidates. Here are the ones that come to me off the top of my head, and my apologies if I missed an obvious one.
