Thank the gods, the day is nearly upon us. Winter has (almost) come. Kick the squires and light the fires: The final season of Game of Thrones is about to begin. It's all come down to this, and now this show that so many people have dedicated hours of their lives to will fulfill each and every one of their expectations. LoL. Just kidding. It'll fulfill, like, one-eighth of those expectations. Regardless, it's going to try. The point, however, is that people—including members of the WIRED staff—want a lot out of these final six episodes. Like what? We assembled the biggest Game of Thrones fans from amongst our ranks to hash out what we desire most from Game of Thrones and to talk about our pipe dreams for the future of Westeros.

(Spoiler Alert: There will be plot details for all previous seasons of Game of Thrones included below. You've been warned.)

Angela Watercutter: OK, I'll start. I want Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen to find out they're related and keep right on boning. There, I said it. That felt good.

I also want Jon and Dany (they don't even have to worry about who takes whose last name when they get married!) to rule the Seven Kingdoms as king and queen, but I've been watching Game of Thrones long enough to know that it would never give us that tidy of an ending.

Anyway, I'm sure everyone else here has something deeper to talk about than Targaryen incest. What say you?

Emily Dreyfuss: Honestly, I'm in total agreement. Jon and Dany have already boned, and they have too much to deal with to worry about guilt and shame on top of everything, so I hope they are just like, "Huh, interesting! Let's never have babies but keep boning and move on!"Though you know the incest thing is going to be a huge deal—even last season, their whole boning session happened to the soundtrack of Bran's voice revealing they were related.

I hope Arya kills Cersei. If she doesn't, I'm going to be devastated. I hope she makes Cersei suffer, and extracts an apology from her, and then right as it seems like maybe Arya will actually show Cersei mercy, boom, she murders her in an exceedingly painful and slow manner.

Sorry.

I also hope the direwolves play a much bigger part this season. And honestly—sorry again, everyone!—I hope that if another Stark has to die, it's Sansa. I know she's been through a lot, and she's sorry for how she abandoned her family to be with the evil child-king Joffrey, but I don't forgive her. Call me petty, but I don't.

Watercutter: Emily, to your point about Jon and Dany never having kids, hasn't she claimed she can't? She seems to think she's still cursed after what she went through to save Khal Drogo—whether or not that's true, though, remains to be seen. Regardless, you're right, they should continue to sex.

Dreyfuss: There's a moment in the last season where Jon addresses the curse directly and is like, "Yo, Dany, why would you assume that witch was telling the truth?" and she looks at him, like, "Whoa, you're wise, maybe she was lying?" I feel like that exchange opened the door.

Watercutter: Yes, good point. As for hating on Sansa, I get it, I do, but I don't want her to die. I think most of the reasons people don't like her have to do with how underwritten she was in the early seasons. Her defining characteristic early on was that she could survive suffering—at the hands of Joffrey and the Lannisters, at the hands of Ramsay Bolton. She was very rarely the person of action in her own narrative, she was just acted upon. (Yes, she abandoned her family, but if Arya understands and forgives her, I do.) It was just poor writing, and she only really got a chance to step into her strength in Season 7, and I'd hate to see that cut short.
