I figured Season 7 would be Dany versus Cercei and the human conflict being solved. Leading to Season 8 which would strictly be the Long Night and the Great War. Around episode 4 of Season 7 i realized nothing was getting solved and they were going to try to do both during an EVEN MORE shortened Season 8 i started getting worried. And here we are. I hope these last three episodes prove us all wrong, but im doubtful.
