Am i the only one who thinks Fire and Ice are going to sacrifice themselves for the good of the realm in a tragic love lost scenario, and Gendry is going to be King, making the entire series of events in the books one big circle jerk because a Barathaon is back on the Throne?
I am far from caught up on reading on the pages in this thread, forgive me if someone mentioned this already.

i've said close to that. i expect Jon will sacrifice himself to save everyone in a very jesus/neo like fashion, and i think Dany will die giving birth to their child (just like Jon & Dany did to their mothers). Tyrion, having also killed his mother in childbirth feels bad for baby targ, and should end up ruling in his stead as King Regent. Gendry would have to be legitimized by a king to be un-bastardized, and i don't see a king legitimizing someone to be his direct competition for the throne. at best Gendry could end up as lord of Storm's End (as bastards can be bestowed titles & lands). Also, if you want a circle jerk, there's been a Targ on the throne as Robert's Grandmother was a Targaryen. Joffrey (albeit completely illegitimate) was the first non Targ on the throne since there was a throne, and there was never a Targaryen-Lannister marriage. if you acknowledge the right of conquest, then Stannis should be king (assuming Gendry isn't made legitimate), and if you don't acknowledge the conquest thing, then Jon should be king. but either way, you get more Targ blood wearing the crown.
