Just posting this here before I look for the new episode (s8e2) later. :)
Note well, these are only my guesses. Very high chance I'm wrong. :P
- On Jon's heritage: people are saying he will keep it secret from Dany. I think not. Either he will tell her (because he doesn't want the crown anyway, and better to tell the truth), or someone is bound to tell her (or tell everyone including her). Will it matter? Well, it will cause some tension for a bit, but there are more pressing matters.
- On Sam's question, 'will she do the same for you?' - that is, give up her crown to Jon? She would resist at first, but maybe realize that it is better to have Jon beside her, than Jon behind her. As Davos said, they can rule together, yeah?
Northerners might be more open to that. Jon may also be Targaryen, but he is also Stark, and they chose him as King in the North once.
- Yara is taking back the Iron Islands so Dany can have a place to fall back to. I think this will happen. Winterfell will fall. But instead of going South towards King's Landing, Theon will suggest they retreat to the Iron Islands. Cersei in King's Landing will now be in the direct path of the Night King.
- In the retreat, will Jamie go back to King's Landing for Cersei? Maybe. They will both likely die. But maybe Cersei's last command would be to ignite the rest of the wildfire? Or maybe it will be Qyburn who decides that? In the hopes that wildfire would delay or hold off the Night King. But will it? Or will they (and the people of King's Landing) just die and later become part of the Night King's army?
