A new Game of Thrones theory doing the rounds predicting that three of the most-anticipated moments to come will all take place in what is sure to be a packed season seven finale.

With just eight episodes left to go before the entire series wraps, fans have been dealt a season of fast-paced episodes moving characters around Westeros quicker in a matter of minutes than they have across entire seasons (case in point: Tyrion and Davos from Dragonstone to King's Landing and back again in the space of a few scenes).

Well, catch your breath because Esquire reports how one Reddit user is predicting a climactic showdown like no other - hoping Jon Snow is successful in his expedition to bring a White Walker in front of Cersei in a bid to prove there's currently more to worry about than who sits on the Iron Throne.

Cersei seemed open to the idea of meeting with Daenerys, Jon and company after discovering she was pregnant with Jaime's baby. While the Queen is no doubt overjoyed to have seemingly proved the prophecy wrong - that she will have three children and they will all die - this still seems like a huge turnaround for her character. Surely she has something up her sleeve? Over to the Redditor.

“So Cersei doesn't strike me as the type to enter a truce for the safety and good of the realm. She would view that encounter as an opportunity to conveniently take out her remaining opponents. As a women who doesn't believe in folklore (I.e. Dany being the ”unburnt“) and as poetic justice for the loot train battle and incinerating the Tarly's, she sentences them both to death by wildfire. Also a nice parallel to when Dany's father killed Ned Stark's brother and father. The sentence is served but BOTH Dany and Jon remain unburnt after the wildfire subsides."

Revelation number one - Jon Snow is a Targaryen confirming the long-standing R+L=J theory that was teased by Gilly in last week's episode.

"The room is silent. Cersei starts demanding that her guards kill them, but everyone - stunned and in awe of what they just saw - start to slowly fall to their knees. Cersei goes batshit crazy, screaming “I AM THE QUEEN!” And demanding that someone kills them. Jaime, with a panicked look on his face, is talking in her ear, trying to talk sense into her. At the same time, the Mountain steps forward and the room holds their breath, but the Hound (with the guards holding him now on their knees) leaps forward to defend Dany and Jon. CLEGANEBOWL confirmed!! The Hound strikes down the mountain."

Revelation number two - the long-anticipated duel between the two Clegane brothers.

"The Mountain's death is a snapping point for Cersei, and she starts screaming at Qyburn to “BURN THEM ALL!” Qyburn starts to make a move but the Hound goes after him with Jon's naked body in hot pursuit. Jaime, with a tortured/heartbroken expression looks at Cersei as she's screaming “BURN THEM ALL.” He grabs her by the shoulders, shaking her to stop, but she keeps screaming. Then his hands move to her neck to silence her screaming. He fulfills Maggy the Frog's prophecy as Cersei breathes her last."

Of course, this moment has been teased before, most notably in the season seven premiere.

This might read more as fan fiction to some but considering the stops that have been pulled out in recent weeks (not to mention in the action-packed episode six which was leaked by HBO earlier this week), these twists are not outside the realms of possibility. Snow actor Kit Harington himself has been hyping up the finale quite a bit, after all.

With Cersei out of the way, it would mean the endgame of the entire series will be focused on the battle with the White Walkers, the leader of which another theory suggests could be Bran Stark.

Another theory doing the rounds surrounds the heritage of Tyrion Lannister with many fans believing last week's episode to have subtly confirmed a future reveal regarding the identity of his father.
