We're back. I'm scared. Things are super somber at Winterfell.
On the eve of the battle against the Night King, our favorite characters are spending possibly their last day on earth in different ways. Based on these occurrences, I have quickly analyzed how this will translate into next week's episode.
See who I believe survives and who is most likely to die:
Arya — Arya does not take L's. She is everything and no one. She is about to let everyone on the battlefield know that she.does.not.play.games. She is not with the shits and she is not dying until everyone on her list is crossed out (aka she slits Cersei's throat).
Jon — Oh Jon. My poor naive Aegon Targaryen. He shall LIVE! The man can not tell a lie to literally save his life. BUT he is not dying on that battlefield; not before he is pronounced the one true King of the seven kingdoms! However, after that, he might die.
Sansa — I have not always been the biggest fan of Sansa and that much we know, but she is the one true lady of Winterfell and she rides for the North! They honestly can't afford to lose her because she is not backing down from Daenerys and when she finds out her brother/cousin is the rightful heir, oh THAT will be a scene.
Theon — You know, some people might say Theon has been punished enough. I, however, am not one of those people! We're talking redemption! He will die protecting Bran and I am okay with that.
Daenerys— Listen; the Mother of Dragons is NOT going down and that's just fact.
Bran/ three-eyed raven— Knowing that I already have three other Starks surviving and his life rests in the hands of freaking Theon; I'm super skeptical of his survival but I'm going to say HE LIVES.
Sir Brienne — Lady Brienne. The one true Knight. We all love her. May she rest in peace.
Jaime — Jaime has cheated death more times than anyone!! Well, anyone besides Lord Beric. The point is NO MORE! He just doesn't have enough gas in the tank, but he will go down fighting right next to Sir Brienne.
Tyrion— The wise fool that he is, WILL DIE. And then there was one Lannister.
The Hound — He has unfinished business with his brother, the Mountain. So, I almost leaned towards his survival. But something tells me that little chat with Arya was a goodbye. So...goodbye Hound.
Tormund — I actually stan Tormund, if it wasn't for him I would have been depressed this whole episode. He has survived a fire ice dragon before, I'm going to say he can do it again! HE LIVES.
Sam— First of all, Sam's been with the shits. As he pointed out, he was the first to kill a white walker. He has been severely underestimated, and I won't be a part of it. Sam will live.
Podrick — His death seems easy, too easy. Which leads me to believe he doesn't die at all.
Lady Mormont — Lady boss bitches have short lifespans in this show. I'll miss her the most.
Greyworm/Missandei— You know, whenever black people just try to mind their business and be happy, white folks always find a way to take that happiness away. Therefore there's not a doubt in my mind that they both are going to die.
Gilly— She doesn't deserve it, but she is going to die because how is a place for the dead the safest place from the dead!? I feel terrible for Sam, he's lost enough.
Gendry — Arya can't have nice things. Gendry you will be missed.
Jorah— You know what. Unpopular opinion, but I think he might live.
Davos, Yohn Royce, Dolorous Edd, Lord Beric/People whose name I had to look up: BIG DEAD
Honestly, if this weren't only episode 2 I would think every last one of them was going to die because I have absolutely no faith that they can win this fight.
HOWEVER. Cersei still sits on the iron throne and someone has to kill her!
Final thoughts:
I would just like to talk about how freaking disappointing it is that Bran is no longer Bran! We could have really had a "don't forget how he pushed me out of a tower because I saw him sleeping with his sister moment." But alas, the three-eyed raven cares not.
See ya next week for Doomsday.
