Otherwise, I agree with your assessment about how the screentime will likely be distributed. (That being said, while I think his downfall will ultimately come at Sansa’s hands, I’ve always liked the idea of Baelish – perhaps the most purely political creature in the entire story – being forced to confront the prospect of an entirely supernatural entity that all of his schemes have yet to account for). Furthermore, Littlefinger isn’t going to be idle – whatever conflict he tries to stir up between Jon and Sansa probably needs to come to a head before the White Walkers invade.

With the potential exception of Dany’s armada, the North is now home to the highest concentration of major characters left in the story, and as the newly crowned King in the North, Jon is right at the heart of it. I still think that Jon will have a good amount of screentime in Season 7. Or perhaps while searching for Gendry, Davos encounters Daenerys’ forces and does his Jedi mind tricks to convince her that there is a deadly threat to the Seven Kingdoms in the North.Īlternatively, Gendry and Arya could encounter each other if she heads to King’s Landing seeking to cross Cersei and the Mountain’s names off her list. He finds him, but perhaps Daenerys turns up before they have a chance to rally the Stormlands, so he heads back North with Davos. So Davos heads south to try and find Gendry. If the King in the North, Ned Stark’s son, also backed Gendry’s claim and pledged to ally with them against the Lannisters, who killed Robert and humiliated the Stormlands with the deception over Joffrey/Myrcella/Tommen’s parentage, then they might accept Gendry as Robert’s heir. Ser Davos was Stannis’s Hand of the King and is a landed knight based in the Stormlands, so the Storm Lords know him well.

Jon Snow wants to rally support for the oncoming war against the White Walkers but doesn’t want to get bogged down in a war in the south against the Lannisters.īut he also knows that as long as the Lannisters rule they will be unable to rally the rest of the Kingdoms.ĭavos suggests that he knows how to unite the Stormlands, who could join the other Kingdoms in rebellion against the Lannisters. The Stormlands remain neutral and are a secondary concern for the Lannisters at this point in time.

The Lannisters have their hands full dealing with the Tyrells and Dornish in rebellion.

If Gendry returned, here’s how I would possibly do it: They also confirm that Gendry is indeed “still rowin'” and dodge sharing spoilers on his fate. That’s fairly evasive, isn’t it? This late into GoT’s run, I’d guess that HBO has tried to discuss it with them a great deal, but they may not be ready to share any details, understandably. The subject of a Game of Thrones prequel comes up but Benioff and Weiss say that other matters have been “more pressing,” and that they “haven’t had time to think through the details of it.”

Benioff and Weiss say that they wanted to convey a “sense of how random it was,” in the battle that in the volley of arrows, “it’s just luck that one of them doesn’t plunk you in the head,” and that it may not be “the best and the bravest” who survive- it largely comes down to luck. The showrunners discussed numerous topics with the podcast hosts, including season six’s ninth episode, “Battle of the Bastards,” and the work done by Miguel Sapochnik. So we kind of pushed everything down the line, so we could get some grim, gray weather even in the sunnier places that we shoot.īenioff and Weiss confirmed again that there are two seasons remaining and that they still do not have a definite episode count set in place. We’re starting a bit later because you know, the end of this season, winter is here and that means that sunny weather doesn’t really serve our purposes anymore. We don’t have an air date yet but this year it’ll probably be a little bit later. When asked about next season of GoT returning in April as usual, the showrunners said, “No,” and Weiss explained why that was the case. Weiss appeared on the UFC Unfiltered podcast with Matt Serra and Jim Norton this week, discussing their work on Game of Thrones and offering a bit of news about season 7.
