Game Of Thrones Season 7: 11 Crucial Things That Must Happen

1. Break The Wall Down

Speaking of which...

If - as expected - Season 8 comes down to the Battle of Ice and Fire, the White Walkers vs the dragons, ridden by Jon and Daenerys (and maybe even Tyrion?), the living heroes of Westeros defending against the undead threats from beyond-the-Wall, then first of all the bad guys actually need to invade.

To do that, they need to get past the giant wall of ice, built thousands of years ago for the specific purpose of keeping them out. So far, it's done its job well, but that should all be about it change.

Bran is set to come back past the Wall in Season 7, returning to Winterfell. And since he possesses the Night King's mark, that means he'll be providing GPS straight to the Wall, as well as breaking the magic keeping it in place. That should allow the Walkers to at least pass through it, and more likely - for the sheer visual alone - bring it down. Maisie Williams has said that Season 7 ends on a huge cliffhanger. It wouldn't get much bigger than this.
