Warning: spoilers ahead for both HBO's "Game of Thrones" and George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" novels.
When it comes to "Game of Thrones" fan theories coming true, the current sixth season has presented us with quite the bounty.
We watched Jon Snow (Kit Harington) get resurrected, learned that Bran (Isaac Hempstead-Wright) will play a huge role in the show's endgame, watched Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) rise once again from the flames, and saw The Night King in action.
These and other recent events seem to be planting the seeds for countless theories surrounding the show's endgame. And that conclusion could come sooner than you realize: Showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have said they're considering finishing with an eighth season.
Here are six fan theories about how the show will end that seem the most plausible.

Jon Snow will rule the land.
This time around, Melisandre (Carice van Houten) seems to have gotten it right in her search for "the prince that was promised."All the elements are coming together.
Has he been reborn? Check. Is he from the line of House Targaryen? Not yet confirmed, but looking pretty likely. All he needs is a sword pulled from fire and the bravery to take on the White Walkers. No problem.
Daenerys will take back the Iron Throne.
Jon Snow isn't the only candidate for the "promised" one. This season, another Red Priestess said that Daenerys Targaryen (Emily Clarke) is the prophesied savior.
What parts of the prophecy does Daenerys meet?
Clearly, she's a member of House Targaryen. Sure, she would be a princess, not a prince. But according to a passage in the "Song of Ice and Fire" books, the prophecy was written in High Valyrian, in which the word "prince" is gender-neutral. And we know she wouldn't back down from a battle with the White Walkers.
She was reborn in fire? Check.
Jon Snow vs. Daenerys
They can't both be the chosen one, right?
There's a theory that the two will clash. Jon would represent the North and ice while Daenerys would represent the South and fire.
There's already some belief that Dany is walking down a villainous path, one that has the burned corpses of Khals, the beheaded bodies of slave masters, and a trail of broken hearts. After all, bloodlust does run in the family. Her father was The Mad King.
