I'm pretty meh about what's coming tomorrow. I feel like D&D are going for shock value and not going with cannon so I'm going in with exceptionally low expectations. I finished Season 1 again yesterday and made it two episodes into Season 2 and it just feels like different shows.
my predictions, based on nothing but my imagination:
- Yara returns to fight against Euron. - Drogon does NOT die (otherwise I will lose.my.shit.) - Clegane Bowl - Arya steals a face to kill someone, not sure who - Varys bites it

I wonder if Varys has already gotten to Dany and convinced her of his loyalty, and is setting it up to look like Tyrion, rather than himself, is the one she should distrust and/or throw out. To put himself closer to her so that he can take her out if/when he wants. Didn't he follow her out of the room or something when she was noticing Jon get all the accolades? I don't think he'd be talking so openly to Tyrion -- who is clearly loyal to Dany -- about betraying her if he wasn't doing something in the meantime to assure that he wasn't going to get Drogon-fried. But then again, maybe the whole exchange between him and Dany when she promised to do that if he ever betrayed her was meant to be foreshadowing.
I dunno. I have no idea where the rest of the season is going, except that we're going to get Clegane Bowl, some sort of a showdown between the surviving Lannisters, and the battle for Kings Landing. And Arya will do ... something? I'm along for whatever ride we get.

Don't worry about spoilers, there aren't any. Or rather, there are way too many. Plus one shot from previews that hasn't been in the show yet.
IN GENERAL TERMS (no specifics), using people who have been reputable in the past there are 2 very different endings, with a few sources for each group. When you compile them into groups, one revealed episode 1 completely and had Arya with the dagger in the Godswood. The other had Missandei being beheaded and Rhaegal's death along with a few other things in episode 4. It's odd, since the two ends are completely at odds but each group has gotten stuff right. At this point, I fully believe that HBO is involved with at least one of the sets of fakes.
One of the options for the ending is BAD (it forgot the "sweet" half of bittersweet, among other things) so I am trying to hope for the other one but steeling myself for the worst.
The penultimate episode each season is always nuts, so I'm expecting the same. I've sort of given up on great craftsmanship, and am looking forward to craziness as the next best thing.
It even seemed like they were making fun of his name in the show.
I had been pronouncing it Dicken, like the character in The Secret Garden, or Charles Dickens, since GRRM just likes to switch out vowels. But dure, Dick-on works too!
I too tried to read up on spoilers from the groups that have been accurate so far. I know they filmed two different endings; I actually wonder if they filmed a THIRD ending that was super secret and locked down.
Like someone else said, one of the endings is really terrible and my DH and I agree that if they use that one, it will absolutely ruin GoT and GRRM's legacy.
I think it's accurate to say no one has a happy ending.
He killed Aerys because the king threatened to burn the city and kill them all - including Lanisters. Someone's making that same threat again, and it isn't Cersei. I think Jaime rode south because he saw Dany echoing her father. If "burn them all" is enough to kill a king, it's enough reason to kill a queen.
anastasia517, my H says he found both "spoilers" and one is awful, the other one is just okay, but it's also how he thinks GRRM is steering the series, so that's probably it. But he's holding out for a third ending to have been filmed in secret, lol.

I don't even know WTF to think now. Drogon coming down Harrenhall style and burning the gates so her army can enter is from one set, but the talk of the bells leans the other way.
RIP Jaime's arc. My favourite Lannister, messed up just like that. He killed the Mad King so King's Landing wouldn't explode and now he claims he doesn't care about innocents.
I'm here for Dany burning it all the fuck down. THAT's what they should have done LAST week.
Drogon is pissed about those scorpions, after watching them kill his brother (sister?) last week. This is definitely the right first move - burn all the dragon killing devices.
I’m super pissed right now. Flying up to destroy Cersei? Yes. But destroying the entire kingdom? That’s not what she would do. We haven’t seen her character change THAT much.
