These Theories About That White Horse On 'Game Of Thrones' Range From Plausible To Straight Up Bizarre

*Warning: Game of Thrones spoilers ahead!

HBO


The penultimate episode of HBO's mega-series Game of Thrones was pretty bonkers from start to finish. After what felt like a never-ending sea of violence brought down upon King's Landing by none other than Dany Targaryen, the city lay in silence.

Among the rubble and burned bodies, one survivor managed to walk away from the death: Arya Stark, savior of the battle of Winterfell. As she surveyed the work of her new dragon queen, she spied a white horse standing calmly amongst the ashes.

On Twitter, there's no limit to how crazy your fan theory can be.




Meanwhile, many people were trying to get a good look at Dany's eyes to see whether she matches up with another foreboding prophesy...

No matter what happens in the series finale, Arya's horse will live on in our hearts as the real star of the show.
