Game Of Thrones has cruised well beyond the halfway point in its TV run, if you believe a word that David Benioff and D. B. Weiss have to say (they're aiming for seven seasons), but will that be enough time to conclude the chaos in Westeros? There are still plenty of unanswered questions, intertwining storylines and, as things stand, nobody is making a direct march on King's Landing to take the Iron Throne by force. We've seen too many shows that "started to go downhill over the last couple of seasons," meaning that wrapping up the series after seven or eight seasons is a smart one, and by condensing a story that could quite literally rumble on for decades, the creators can produce episodes without feeling the need to stretch the tiniest details out. What that also means, is with potentially around 35 episodes to go until the end (sounds crazy, right?) fans are going to witness some staggering drama, with every storyline hopefully earning the right payoff in every instance. But with endless possibilities and a constant threat looming over every character on the show, what could lie in store for fans? NO book spoilers ahead. Just suggestions based on the show up to Season 5 Episode 3.
