Decades for the original fans of George R.R.
MartinsA Song of Ice and Fire.
And asGame Of Thronesshowrunners David Benioff and D.B.
Just remember,valar morghulis.
But every time a Stark heads south, it always ends in calamity.
As men whove cheated death, the happiness of the world is not theirs to partake in.
I also think she is the only woman equipped to see the bigger picture.
How can she not?
Sansa Stark has suffered perhaps more than any character and has come out stronger on the other side.
She also wears power much more comfortably than her half-brother/cousin Jon Snow.
As Arya says, the title of Lady of Winterfell suits Sansa.
She would also make an excellent Warden of the North.
We believe him too, because wed be just as mad as she is.
Like a Westerosi Christopher Columbus, shell seek an undiscovered country.
In our head-canon, they might even name whatever she finds as Aryica or Aryiana… Bran Stark is just coming into his own as the new Three-Eyed Raven.
Indeed, he has gotten both in recent seasons and has handled them poorly much to Danys chagrin.
Sooner rather than later.
Brienne of Tarth is that mythical thing completely alien to Westeros: a perfect knight.
Nothing better happen to Podrick.Nothing!
Lady Lyanna Mormont… die?
OnGame Of Thrones?!
And shell do it all with only her Fightin 62 too!
The grounds of Winterfell will be littered with beloved characters corpses after the third episode.
And there is then yet another more mysterious battle to come in the fifth episode.
His demise would also be a perfect one to ratchet up dread in audiences.
Like Davos, Tormund has gone about as far as his arc needs.
What few wildlings are left after Hardhome have found a resassuring Stark-king as their ally.
I just dont suspect hell leave there.
Plus, theres the fact hes already dead, dead (and for good) in the books.
Seems like a sure body for Benioff and Weiss to build foundations upon.
Hell get it too, although those corspes may be very much alive.
Still, he is about as useful in a world of peace as a battle hammer.
Ser Jorah is ready to die a happy man.
Just last season, he sacrificed a lifetime of pain to defeat Greyscale and return to Daenerys services.
His death is unlikely to be a pleasant one.
Not that hed have it any other way at this point.
On the other hand, there will still be tragedy to go around.
I dont like his odds.
See what they set up there?
Why would they kill off Gilly?
That would just be too cruel.
Shell make a lovely lady of Horn Hill!
Not only will Gendry live, but the lad shall thrive, dammit!
Its really the only way to redeem himself at this point, no?
Saving her Yara will be Theons last act and penance for a promising life squandered.
You really think he is walking out of season eight as anything but a corpse?
Jaime Lannisters fate appears destined to be a tragic one.
The fact he rides North alone suggests how precarious his place has become in the world.
Indeed, Cersei Lannister has appeared doomed for many seasons now.
So the question isnt so much if she will meet her demise in season eight, but how.
However, Jaime is also younger than her, if only by several minutes.
He would, after all, be murdering the mother of his children.
No matter how it happens though, one thing is clear: Cersei Lannister must die.
Like any good cockroach, Bronn will outlive us all.
Prediction: Dies (Again?)
Nevertheless, Clegane rose again from the seeming dead as a Franken-Mountain Monster.
Whoever is left alive when this is all over will not want this madman around.
His fate is tied to Cerseis, and well…
Assuming we even see him again in season eight, this poor and anemic lord will live on.
How easy it would be to forget her.
But oh, yes, Melisandre still has a role to play in this tale.
Im of two minds about Melisandres fate.
She could be left until season eight like so many others.
But Im taken back to Melisandres nightmarish visions of Arya.
She knows Arya may come to punch her ticket one day.
And the Stark girl more than likely will.
For there to be peace, dragons must leave this world again.
These also might be the most painful deaths to watch if losing Viserion was any indication.
Its a darkly humorous idea, but too ugly and mean-spirited, even for George R.R.
With that said, I do not believe this icy lord can truly be destroyed.
Someone better start working on repairing that wall now.
