Hasn't it seemed for a couple years as though the series is heading toward Jon Snow and Dragon Queen getting married and ruling?
The title of the book series is 'a song of ice and fire', apparently referring to them.
I've just started season 7, and it seems very much on the same track, wiping out secondary characters as always, putting Snow and her together where the relationship starts.
And it's very much following that plan - they wouldn't just have it be 'love at first sight', it'd have to have some conflict, take some time.
So they're bickering over whether he has to submit to her, whether to deal with the undead - he refuses to submit, and she doesn't feed him to the dragons as a 'rebel'. But gives him dragonstone mining.
The blip on the story doing that was the cliffhanger where Snow was killed - but no, he was back.
Pretty much all her allies just got killed, leaving Snow.
Oh, and of course, she dumped her boy toy before sailing, making her conveniently available.
Seems pretty clear that while nearly all the characters can be killed, she and Snow are the ones who won't, speeding toward the climax of the series as they conquer the rest.
And this whole 'dragonstone' thing almost feels like a Kryptonite cheat, building up the threat for seasons where they appeared unstoppable and now surprise, they can be defeated.
Of course that wasn't common knowledge... why would anyone keep track of that?
