    With just over 24 Hours to go until the first big battle of Season 8.
    I'd be curious to hear who you think won't make it out alive.

    My prediction would be all the Starks, Breinne, Tyrion and Tilly.

    This too shall pass.

    Some unsullied dude and a horse.

    They all die, bar Bran. Absolutely every one of them. Massacred.

    The Night King kicks on South and then kills everyone there. I wouldn't put it past George Martin. He had said numerous times he doesn't find it at all credible in fiction that the heroes survive and it all ends well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 766 ✭✭✭RicketyCricket


    Brienne, Grey Worm, Jamie, Jorah sure to go. Sansa as a surprise death. But, honestly, I have no idea. Maybe the Night King dies and the living all live happily ever after killing each other.

    Might be quicker to list who survives.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 255 ✭✭The Hound Gone Wild


    Pod
    Gendry or Arya 50/50
    Davos
    Little bear
    Jorah
    Jamie or Brienne
    Gilly 50/50
    A dragon
    Varys 50/50
    Grey worm or Missande
    Beric

    Jon, Dany, Bran, Sam, Sansa, & Tyrion all have plot armour and will survive. I also think Thormund & the hound survive.

    I know we all hate Tilly in Star Trek Discovery, but I don't think that will be enough for her to transfer to GOT in the spore drive and get killed off. Lovely thought though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,325 ✭✭✭paulbok


    I think Podrick will be first to die, or has a particularly gruesome end

    Sorry I meant Gilly. (Or did I ;) ) And for the record I don't hate Tilly over on Disco.

    This too shall pass.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,998 ✭✭✭Conall Cernach


    Theon
    Beric Dondarrion
    Jorah
    Podrick
    Grey Worm
    Missendei
    Yohn Royce
    Alys Karstark
    Some Khals

    Only messing! Didn't even know you were a Disco follower.

    But I think Greyworm, Brienne, Gilly, Pod, Beric, the Hound and Sansa are doomed. I have high hopes for Arya for the future.

    Theon and the rest of the Iron Born.
    Thormond
    Beric
    Podrick gruesomely,
    Brienne
    Varys heroicly
    Ghost
    The remaining Nights Watch
    Jorah and Lyanna Mormont heroicly/ emotionally
    Greyworm and the missus
    Milesandre will arrive and die (Red Woman), possibly with more of her order
    Bran
    Most of the unsullied, Dotraki and northern armies.
    Winterfel falls.

    Would have said before last week Gendry survives, but now his Baratheon bloodline can survive on through an Arya pregnancy, not so sure.
    All those non combatants in the crypts.

    Don't think any of the other major characters just yet, but more will die before the end of the series.

    Other prediction for tonight, the golden company will arrive and fight for Danerys on the orders of the Iron Bank who are really funding them, so a fair chunk of them as well.

    Can't wait for tonights episode. I feel the army of the dead will overrun winterfell and everyone who survives will be forced to retreat. As for deaths I predict Sansa, Jamie, Brienne, Greyworm, Theon, Tormund, Jorah and Leanne Mormund and one of the dragons.

    I wonder if Bran's vision (the one which featured the mad king, and Cersei blowing up the Sept of Baelor) is significant. It showed the silhouette of a dragon over king's landing, interspersed with images of the Night's King. Everyone at the time assumed that the dragon meant Daenerys, but it might have meant the Night King. It's possible that the Golden Company will be needed closer to the Red Keep.

    Also I agree with your death list, though Missandei I think is safe, possibly Tormund too. While I think Bran will die, I think his death will have to have more significance than it currently would... so not yet.

    It was mentioned several times in last episode that the crypt is the safest place to be.

    I predict this will not be the case - long dead Starks to break out of tombs and start slaughtering people.

    Yep. The crypts will see action. Wasn't Arya running scared in the crypts in the trailer for the season?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,456 ✭✭✭The high horse brigade


    The crypts are full of the dead. Going there is not a good idea.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 1,020 ✭✭✭angel eyes 2012


    The Night King, white walkers and wights all killed at Battle of Winterfell. Viserion to be resurrected by Milesandre and Jaime to kill Cersei!

    I'm dreading this episode!

    Definitely, but there is no way Jon Snow left bodies down there able to be ressurected. Can't see them lifting mass stone tombs off themselves.

    I predict a very important character's death regardless of the plot needing them. If Jon Snow dies then the way is cleared for Daenerys to fight for the throne. I don't think he will be sitting on it in the end. Mind you I don't think she will either but we are overdue a "big death", a character who is popular, necessary, and good.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,717 ✭✭✭Sawduck


    I don't think any of the main players die tonight,as i think they'll all be around to the final episode,but i think we will lose quiet a few beloved characters like
    Jorah- his story arc seems complete
    Theon - sacrifices himself to save bran
    Varys - dies in the crypt
    Grey Worm - should never have disscussed his plans for after the war
    Beric Dondarrion - not to important to the show,seems very likely to die
    Eddison - need to get to 1000 nights watch commander somehow
    And Bran will wrap into the whites dragon

    I hope Lyanna Mormont is the first to go, can't stand her.

    My prediction: All major characters in the North will die. Night King to continue march on to Kings Landing, and eventually destroys everyone there too.

    Melisandre to return and work with whoever is left to rebuild the wall and put a new curse over it. Maybe bring back one person to lead the last survivors north of the wall. The wall now keeps the Night King in the South.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,875 ✭✭✭Hoboo


    Knight King is coming. Special power? Raising the dead to join his army. Where should we hide? I know, a crypt.

    Everyone in the crypt is screwed. The two dragons are going to side with John Snow, him being the king. Daenerys is killed, but becomes the Knight Queen.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,386 ✭✭✭golfball37


    Strategic victory for the dead. A few protagonists make it to the eirie in retreat. Anyone can die tonight except Jon, Danaerys, Sansa, Bran and Arya really


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,427 ✭✭✭mooseknunkle


    Pod
    Gendry or Arya 50/50
    Davos
    Little bear
    Jorah
    Jamie or Brienne
    Gilly 50/50
    A dragon
    Varys 50/50
    Grey worm or Missande
    Beric

    Jon, Dany, Bran, Sam, Sansa, & Tyrion all have plot armour and will survive. I also think Thormund & the hound survive.

    If i was a betting man id be putting my money on this,the hound will survive he still has a part to play with his brother.

    I thought so too at first but then I remembered that the wight they brought to KL couldn't even get out of a box. If they get out of those heavy tombs it's a crock.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,717 ✭✭✭Sawduck


    Jamie and Jon could potentially die soon,but i think they will survive the battle only to be killed by someone the trust,jamie by bronn and jon by dany, she is to experience 3 betrayals perhaps the final betrayal she faces will be her own betrayal of jon


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 16,438 ✭✭✭✭loyatemu


    Dany to kill Jon Snow in the confusion as he's now a rival for the throne (it's a long shot, but she's ruthless. She seemed pretty unimpressed by his revelation last week).

    TBH the whole army of the dead thing is the least interesting part of the show, I wouldn't be surprised if they're defeated tonight and the rest of the season goes back to the political machinations of who sits on the throne. What's the point of creating all this intrigue only to have all the main characters wiped out by an unstoppable supernatural force?

    Greyworm must go. He's enjoying the food too much in winterfell. Carrying a few too many pounds for my liking.
    Jamie saving brienne.
    Aside from that, not sure. The Jon,Dany thing will play out after I think.

    The white general will summon the dead from the crypt they kill all kids. The kids side flank the northern army and defeat them.
