There are only eighty minutes left of Game of Thrones and the events of the episode last night moved back the chips and forced the fans to reformulate all their theories. The death of Cersei by hand of a pile of bricks in the arms of his brother left with little taste to those who anticipated a somewhat more ceremonious end to the great villain of the series, perhaps at the hands of Arya using Jamie’s face to complete the prophecy of ” Maggy the frog, “who told a young Cersei that” when the tears choke you, the Valonqar will surround your white neck with your hands and snatch your life “— being Valonqar the term Valyrian for” brother or younger sister “.

Being fair, that portion of the prophecy had never been mentioned in the series (which was limited to anticipating the death of their children) and was exclusive to the books. Still the fanatics expected it to be one of the living Lannister (Jamie or Tyrion, both younger siblings), who ended up with the life of Cersei. Perhaps as a nod to these speculations during his last moments Cersei was effectively drowned in tears and with the hands of his younger brother around his neck. That brings us to Arya, who had spent the last few years to cross names from her list and only needed a few words from Sandor Clegane to abandon her goal completely and go back to the family home (or try). As the creators of the series explained, to show a character that until now we had seen with almost superhuman abilities completely helpless in the streets of the king’s Landing allowed the Spectator to witness the destruction, the massacre and the Desolation in the first person and, by the way, gave a new mission to the young Stark.

During “The Long Night” Melisandre reminded Arya of her first encounter (in season three), in which she said, “I see Darkness in you. And in that darkness, eyes that look at me: brown eyes, blue eyes, green eyes. Eyes that you will close forever. ” Although Arya has a good number of victims above, her most significant murders have been those of Walder Frey (brown eyes) and the King of the Night (blue Eyes). That brings us back to the theories that said it would be she who blandería the dagger to end with Cersei, one of the few characters in the series with green eyes. With the Queen resting now under tons of stone, all eyes point to the brand new Daenerys villain. It is clear that the former chain-breaker and current innocent scorcher no longer has the support of any of his allies. Jon and Tyrion, the only faithful to the young Targaryen, finally saw what Sansa, Arya and Varys (RIP) warned: Dany continued his habit of burning everything that is put in his path, but this time with a much less noble goal in the seasons Previous. Arya, who saved the humanity from the zombie apocalypse, has many reasons to save the west from a tyranny.
The Secret of his eyes
Fans have already started arguing about whether the green eyes are already closed they were actually of Petyr “Pinky” Baelish, if Emilia Clarke has green, blue, bluish green eyes, or if the whole debate is irrelevant because in reality (in books) the Targaryen have purple eyes. Everyone will think what they want. What we can all agree on is that Game of Thrones has become an unpredictable series in a bad way. Perhaps Jon Snow (aka Aegon Targaryen) is the “prince who was promised” and is he who ends with the short reign of terror of his/her aunt/lover. The white horse may mean that Arya is dead and we never see her again. Maybe it was Ned Stark’s bad dream. At this point we are in the hands of Weiss and Benioff. In this note:
