‘Game Of Thrones’: 5 Predictions For ‘Battle Of The Bastards’ And ‘The Winds Of Winter’

1. The White Walkers bring down the Wall

I’ve predicted since season 5 ended that season 6 would end with Wall collapsing. I think we got foreshadowing of this event in “The Door” when the Night King’s mark allows him to enter the Three-Eyed Raven’s cave. Before his troops attack, he notably touches the icy ground, cracking it and sending quakes in the tunnel network, the implication being he can now work his magic on the cave.

The bigger implication is that the Night King will need to get his mark through the Wall before he can destroy it, assuming it’s infused with similar magic (and, really, Westeros should call its security company if it isn’t) and not just a random ice wall.

The showrunners are adamant about ending the show after roughly 10-15 more episodes. There would be no better way to set the stage of the endgame than by eliminating the literal and figurative Wall between the fantasy Dark Lord and his killer horde and our swelling super-team of ragtag characters (or as the show calls them “cripples, bastards and broken things”).

In other words, we’re in for another excruciating wait until season 7.
