Game Of Thrones Season 7 Finale: 13 Huge Questions For 'The Dragon And The Wolf'
"There's only one war that matters, and it is here."
The end is nigh.
Just 80 minutes remain of Game of Thrones seventh season (or 79 minutes 43 seconds, if you wanna get really specific), and then the wait begins for at least(!?) another year.
The shortened season has delivered some incredible spectacle, character reunions and meetings, and a lot of fan-pleasing moments, but also taken some massive leaps of logic and rushed in a way it's never done before.
All that culminates with the season finale, The Dragon and the Wolf, which is the show's longest episode to date, and it has a lot to wrap-up and setup.
There's a wight on its way to Cersei, characters assembling in the Dragonpit (Daenerys surely arrives on Drogon, since she's missing from the teaser and images), and a whole lot of sh*t about to go down in both King's Landing and Winterfell. It's exciting, nerve-wracking, and means we have a lot of questions the finale needs to answer.
13. Will Cersei Believe Them?
Thanks to Tyrion's (terrible) masterplan, the heroic efforts of the seven (and those poor Redshirts), and some help from Daenerys, a wight is now its way to King's Landing in an effort to convince Cersei of the real threat.
Somehow, during all of this, no one appears to have really questioned whether or not Cersei will believe them, even with a zombie shoved in front of her. One wight doesn't necessarily prove there is an army of the dead (she has an undead man as her bodyguard), and certainly isn't confirmation of White Walkers.
Factor in Cersei being the Mad Queen, and intent on maintaining her grip on the Iron Throne, and it's a big question of whether she'll believe them, and even if she does, how much she'll actually care.
