The child will still be legitimate heir to the throne.

No they won’t.

Cersei is on the throne but the Baratheon line was broken when Tommen walked out the window. Cersei would have to legitimise Gendry and name him her heir... You see that happening?

A Stark has never sat the Iron Throne. Ever.

Even in the North, Sansa has a better claim to warden than Arya.

When Cersei dies, a Targaryen would have the greatest claim to the IT, and when it comes to Targs, Jon’s claim is greatest. After him comes Dany.

Arya and Gendry just aren’t in contention at all.

Yes, I did. Must have missed it. I thought the only one left now is the one that went for a cuddle with Kalisi after her BFF died in her arms. Glad the dragon is OK. sjoe.

Thats the same one

How? Surely Jon and Daenerys' kid will be the legitimate heir?

Time will tell. The clock is ticking.

Right up until Jon kills Dani and refuses the throne to rule north of the wall.

We have a handful of episodes to go, script writers will tell.

There's no way they can write Gendry, Arya or any possible child of theirs onto the throne.

There are laws of the land that will have to be circumvented. Or some kind of rebellion led by the two of them. Don't see either scenario happening in the space of 3 episodes...

 

[Lupus]

Wasn't there an Azor ahai thing defeating the night king, that didnt happen, maybe this wont happen aswell...

It won't, it's not mentioned in the series only in the book.

Because the one thing we know about Jon is that he gives a damn about duty.

Also, if we end up with dead Dany, and Jon on the throne, the wall is down and the surviving Wildlings are at Winterfell. If they go back north, I suspect Tormund would lead them and he’d bend the knee to Jon, first of his name, who would be king of the *eight* kingdoms.

Blocked at work, but if it's the Cersei theory then I've seen it before.

A bit far-fetched, but even if true, there's no way Cersei is giving up her crown to anyone now. Child or not...

 

[Arex]

I am pretty sure it was mentioned, Melisandre thought Stannis was and later that Jon snow might be. I also recall Missandei doing a translation saying it means prince or princess that was promised and Tyrion said it doesn't have a nice ring to it.

Why did the dragon hesitate, why did it not just instantly bite or fireball Jon?

For that matter why did the dragon not just eat or stomp on the NK ?

The writers are closing out so many characters now that anything is possible which is the only reason that I’m alluding to this.

It would be in a bad taste to see the Golden Company turn on the Lannister’s. Yes, the Lannister's have debt, but no one else are in the position to settle that debt. As it stands, the Golden Company have no reason whatsoever to break contract unless Qyburn have discussed terms unbeknown to the audience. The undead is now irrelevant, the Night King is dead and the Long Night is no more, this isn't clause anymore to break contract.

What we do have is the Ironborn in war with another, but is by large sided with Cersei thanks to Euron. There is no more Dothraki, a diminished Unsullied and the Northerners and their allies are pretty much worn and tired. They have two dragons, and Arya.

The Golden Company on the other hand is the praetorians (without elephants, which doesn’t matter in any case), the unrivalled elite. Though the Golden Company is payswords, their contract is their oath unless an better opportunity may arise, which there isn't, and even they will make the Unsullied's balls shake. They are the best soldiers and the best strategists.

More to the Lannister's... they have a zombie, giant zombie that is, who may be more undead than the undead. Qyburn also seems to be the better hand than Tyrion and they also have a Pirate, with a nation, who have zero Fcuks to give unless it is Cersei. Not only are the Golden Company premium soldiers, but Euron have experienced many things unbeknown to Westeros sailing and battling on the seas, and raiding where possible, with the Ironborn. Cersei is now strong.

Yara, what is she going to do, call up a mate or two at a bar?

When it comes to a battle, the Lannister side is pretty much now dominant. The question is what can be done to unravel this advantage? Blood...

Bron is still to make up his mind. Companionship or an castle, whichever, but I doubt he will shoot his buds.

What I do believe is that The Mountian is going to tick his kill list... then Cleganebowl.

So in order of succession. Jon is 1st in Line and Dany is 2nd. Jon as the male heir is the rightful claim to the thrown being the throne prince's first son. Then its free for all. Any lord or lady. But generally lords first then ladies.

Bran is part of the Night King. He wont rule the North so Sansa is the obvious choice there as she is actually next in line after Bran. Jon isnt the rightful heir to the north. He isnt a Stark from his fathers side.

Remember Winter is still coming for Kings landing. Bran saw that also his ancestor a Stark was one of the creators of the Night King. Supposedly Tyrian knows how to defeat him.

I don't think arya and gendry will end up on the iron throne either but there are ways it could be done that make sense.

We're going to have a dead dani tho...
