Game Of Thrones: 15 Early Predictions For Season 8

6. Jon Rides A Dragon

Ever since it was revealed that Jon was a Targaryen, it's felt like we've been hurtling forwards towards the moment he gets to climb on board one of Dany's dragons. It is his destiny, which was all but confirmed when he came face to face with Drogon on the Dragonstone clifftops, and they shared what could only be described as "a moment".

It seems inevitable now that Jon will get to live up to that destiny in the final season, with he, Dany and the Night King fulfilling the three dragon head prophecy for a stunning end-game sequence featuring all-out dragon-in-dragon warfare.

Whether it's a living dragon or Viserion remains to be seen, but it would make most poetic sense for it to be Rhaegal that he rides, given that it's the creature named after his father. It's just that the idea of Jon flying an ice dragon is also pretty compelling, considering his Stark heritage, and there's always the possibility that Bran might warg into the monster to help that happen.
