WASHINGTON — With a combination of undead dragons and unwitting incest, “Game of Thrones” just set a personal ratings record, as 12.1 million viewers tuned into the Season 7 finale, up 36 percent over the 8.9 million folks who watched last year’s Season 6 finale.

Thus, theories are running rampant about how HBO will end its epic fantasy series, especially with just six episodes left to air in late 2018 or early 2019 (shooting begins this October).
Until then, here are eight burning questions — and eight icy predictions — for Season 8.
