I'd say this is a series that isn't actually centered around the usual good vs. Evil dichotomy.
I don't view Lyanna Mormount as a gray character at all. Granted she is an exception. Also don't see Cersei as gray, she's always been pretty straight up evil and any perceived kindness has simply been manipulation on her part.
Well yeah out of hundreds of course there are, but this isn't a good vs evil fantasy.
Cersei has been more evil characters for sure, but even with her, as i recall there's plenty of **** that happened to her in her backstory that explains how she came to be, what with being told she'd be with Rhaegar targaryen, only to end up with Robert Baratheon, who had no respect for her and loved another (dead) woman, and then there's the whole 'got a prophecy she'd watch her kids all die' thing.
White and black are both values in a grayscale (and I'm not talking about the disease).
Who's ready to see The Wall come crashing down as the final season-ending cliffhanger?
(Unless the show runners take the easy way out and just have the walker army march around Eastwatch on the frozen sea...)
Don't forget the prophesy also predicted the young queen would take everything away from her and she would have the life choked out of her by the younger brother, which created the animosity with the Tyrells and Tyrion.
Tonight looks to be a grand standoff between Cerci and Danny. I wonder if to resolve everything, there will be a trial by combat. Cerci chooses the Mountain, Danny the Hound, for all the marbles.
There will be so many characters that are so intertwined, yet have never met before or have met, but haven't seen each other in many seasons. It's going to be insane. For example, Jon Snow only met Cerci briefly in the very beginning of season 1. Jamie, Bronn, Pod and Tyrion have all been linked at one time or another. There's Jamie and Brianne too, which I think will get a scene due to Sansa mentioning Jamie last episode, when she sent Brianne off to Kings Landing.
I also think the Sansa vs Arya squabbling is all a cover to set up Petyr Balish for a big fall. I could see the three of them in a room giving him the riot act, then his demise. Or better yet, Arya somehow takes the face of her mothe Katlyn, to mess with Littlefingers head, and then offs him.
Does the wall come down? I'm not sure, but I could totally see the Kight King and his newly minted Ice Dragon melting that mother down so his undead army can pass freely. It seems to make sense since the wall, with its magical properties, would only be able to be destroyed by another powerful magical force (ice dragon) from the south.
Can't wait to see this all unfold.

I don't see them settling the war by a trail by combat when Dany is clearly the favorite to win the war.
Isn't it reasonable to expect that an ice dragon will breathe ice, not fire???
Yes, but who knows, maybe it's more "magic damage" than elemental.
I think it's possible that something may come to light that changes that balance.
I am almost certan now that Little Sam is Azor Ahai. He was the prince that was Promised to the Night King and we saw that killing a white walker kills the wights. It would be a super depressing ending if Jon had to kill baby Sam in order to kill a majority, if not all, of the army of the dead.
I wonder how Bran breaks the news to Jon? I'm hoping for "you looked beautiful ******* your aunt."
