Yes, they need to give him as much screen time as possible before the Children feed him to Bran.

My least wanted ending is that it ends up in a democracy.
Like...ugh.
Like...ugh.
A lot of fans believed he was killed and turned into oatmeal for Bran. If that's the case, he won't have more than a few scenes.
If/when Dany rules, she might install some kind of parliament. The Seven Kingdoms are a very diverse place, with huge cultural differences from Dorne to the North. If anything, I believe she'll have a much more powerful council than any of the Baratheons or previous Targaryens.
Ironborn way ahead of you

I'm fine with a parliament, but I think it would be so incredibly cliche if all the lords of the seven kingdoms work nicely together to ensure everlasting peace in the land of sunshine and rainbows!

Aha I don't think anything we've seen in the books or TV show so far dictates that. If anything we'll get a super depressing ending that states that the "Game of Thrones" is essentially eternally on-going.
Eh, he'll likely be a reanimated corpse and she is apparently barren. Even if they both somehow survived to the end, they're not likely to have any kids, so their line won't last real long. I don't really expect either of them to live to the end though. No idea who will be ruling at the end, so we'll see.
That would be so ludicrously awful. I dislike the idea of Jon and Dany falling in wuv and everything going happily ever after, but democracy would be 10000x worse. I think the most honest ending would be to just have the seven kingdoms break up and each go their own (non-democratic) way. By the end of all the war and bloodshed, there's not really oping to be anything holding these people together anymore unless Jon or Dany does it by authority of magic and/or dragons. That's the only ending that wouldn't leave you wondering how long it's going to be until the whole thing falls apart again.

Right, I know. I just meant that it would be my absolute worst nightmare.

Dany and Jon in love ruling side by side, with Littlefinger as the Court Jester... no thankyou.

I like the idea of Dany and Jon, but I don't think either of them will rule for long.

Jon is not raging asshole enough for Dany to love.
I wouldn't mind it if it ended up like this at some point in the story, and then one or both of them get fucked over, or it looks like it'll end up like this and something happens which messes it up. Just please god/GRRM don't make these two fall in love.

Did you know that there are people who ship Jon and Arya?
And before you ask, no, I am not one of them.

I think Jon and Dany will marry considering it's in the HOTU prophesy, but I don't think they'll rule anything together. Someone is going to die or become the big bad.
Ultimately I think mankind will be so fucked up by the Others and greyscale that the concept of thrones will become irrelevant in the short term. I think we'll be left with multiple factions struggling to rebuild, and a set of characters who will be embellished into legendary figures by later generations (Rickon The Rebuilder, for instance). History repeating itself, again.

Can we just...never talk about that Davos/Mel/Stannis scene from the end of S3 ever again? All of the posts back on page 5 were so spot on, and it's probably the most infuriating scene in the entire series.
I have to think that us Stannis fans aren't the only ones waiting for him to shrug off the yoke of Mel's influence and I really hope that's his arc this season. We've still got time for Davos to be the one to convince him that he's doing it (going to the Wall) for the kingdom and because it's the right thing to do, not because the Lord of Light has foreseen it or whatever.
I'm holding out hope that we're going to get the "cart before the horse" speech in ep. 10.

My roomate hasnt read the books and he feels strongly that a Dany/Unsullied invasion of Westeros is imminent. I assume most people who havnt read the books feel this way too, seeing as the show leads them to believe it. Im curious to see how exasperated he and others get as the season(s) roll on and they dont get what they expect.

Yeah everyone I've talked to thinks this as well. They also think that Joffrey's never going to die.
Those who have not read the books have a feeling that Dany will be riding her dragons soon and a massive war is going down. Seeing Drogon in the trailers has fueled that. They will be disappointed if they think it's going to happen this season.

My parents keep comparing Dany's situation to the US invasion of Iraq, and don't expect her to get out anytime soon. Although my mom also said Grey Worm looks like a young Obama, and perhaps he'll be the one who pulls Dany's forces out lol
I don't think people will get tired of Dany in Meeren until next season, depending on how they handle it. This season will be too action packed for anyone to complain about Dany IMO, but next season could be taxing on that front.

As if book readesr wouldnt have thought that as well during that point of the story.
and the show watchers will probably react more or less the same, disappointed, although it might be a bit better or worse, depending on how many seasons they make out of AFFC/ADWD
i don't think dany's gonna make it, maybe she'll survive, but something's gonna happen that'll cripple her army/dragons/whatever
she's had it too peachy-keen so far, at least as peachy-keen as you can get in ASOIAF. something's gonna happen.
then again, i still haven't read ADWD so i'm not as up-to-date as i should be

Dany has a couple amazing moments that will translate well next year in S5, one of which will almost certainly be the "episode 9 moment"
I said last season that I suspected they weren't going to actually kill her off due to how radically different a character she is in the series. Still think it'll happen- they don't get many opportunities to shock book-readers, and this would be one small instance where they could get away with it.
The whole point of the Meereen stuff is to show that Dany is not a person you want in charge - she's a conqueror, not a ruler.
This is the predominant feeling among readers and that's why George will never do it xD
Maybe he kills her, that would be awesome.
Man, I want to see the Greyjoys cast and fucking shit up. They better not fuse Victarion and Euron together as rumored...
Maybe after Stannis goes to Braavos Mel will advise another attack on King's Landing, and then he'll disappear for a few episodes and show up at the wall and tell everyone all about the proper arrangement of carts and horses. That's really the only way I can think of to salvage it at this point.

At first I was like "What is he talking about?" and then I remembered and it was awesome
Yeah watching Dany shit her insides out will be so rewarding after the slog of season 5 Meereen.

Aunt/nephew is much less gross than the alternatives. Besides the canonical incest among the Lannisters and Targaryens, Euron Greyjoy and Joffrey Baratheon may have raped their younger brothers, Oberyn may or may not have wanted to fuck Elia, and Jon/Sansa is one of the most popular pairings.

Keeping my expectations low, but I just can't see them missing this key character moment for him.
Partly because all my show-watcher friends keep giving me the side eye for saying I'm Team Stannis.
Aegon? Put a Targaryen on the throne.
I'm incredibly excited to learn about the Thenns. GRRM says we'll go farther North than ever before in the next book, and there's not much else to see besides Thenn.
An organized state in the far, far North with laws, metalworking, and a central ruler? Yes please.

My dad wants Joffrey to die so bad. He should like this season.
Sansa + Aegon (even though he has to be fake) is better than Jon + Dany because at least Sansa can have kids. #teamlemoncakesaremyfavorite
#what a twist
dragons melt down the iron throne on accident. No one ends up taking the throne because its gone.
Haters gonna hate ending.
