'Game of Thrones' series finale preview shows a city of ash

There's one episode left in Game of Thrones and there are so many loose strings that need to be tied up.

After the siege of King's Landing, which was more of a war crime-filled massacre than a battle, there is only one queen left in Westeros -- Daenerys Targaryen. The only problem is, she burned so many innocent civilians to death that there's no way she ends up on the Iron Throne without at least some resistance from the true heir Jon Snow and the vengeful Arya Stark.

The preview doesn't give us much, but the conflict at King's Landing that left so many people dead, buried, and burned is over. In the ashes of the capital city of Westeros, there are only a few main characters left: Daenerys, Jon, Arya, and Tyrion. At least one of them has to live, right?

By the looks of it, Daenerys has the full support of the Dothraki and the Unsullied. And that's all we know.

It's very possible that the North could rise up against the Mad Queen Daenerys. There's no way we finish off this season with no word from Sansa and Bran Stark, or even Samwell Tarly himself. And what about Yara Greyjoy?
