What use had they for tricks and cunning, living in the enemy's warren and paying his price?

What are you, an idiot? How would Bram expand an ant? He is a warg, not a wizard.

Wasn't it just sort of mentioned that he died in the books? I don't think he got a cool death scene, grrm was just like "oh yeah that guy died for real by the way."

Long story short he died doing the same thing Thoros does to him every time he dies to Catelyn Stark after the Red Wedding and succeeds in bringing her back to life, but unlike Thoros it costs him his own life to do it.

So in the books the Brotherhood is led by a half zombie Catelyn Stark who uses them to go around killing all the Freys and can't talk because her throat is still slit from the Red Wedding.

Yeah better that the show kept the good actor alive than replaced him with a mute "zombie"

On the other hand, keeping the extra zombie or not, being a good actor should not insulate you from death and that's why Ned's death was good

When it was book based this used to be a show not afraid to kill off great actors.

Now we're watching the X-Men by literally the same directors who are mentally incapable of imagining any of their characters dying or not having things magically work out for them in ways that overcome their stupidity.

Lastly, lol tough choice:

Everyone but Brienne.

Also: Pod, the generic guys like that Knight of the Vale dude, Edd, Gilly, and my longshot bets: Varys and Davos.

He's in the crypt so he can die unceremoniously along with Gilly so the survivors (Tyrion and Samwise) can get a mourning scene to make their deaths try to seem meaningful.

See also: whichever of Grey Worm/Missandei dies. One will so the other can try to make them seem like they were important.

Who can we expect to live till the final episode:

Jon - the whole story is about him so he'll last.
Cersei - she's the main villain.
Sam - gurm won't die (until he doens't finish the books)
Arya & Sansa - cuz the writers are pussies
Tyrion - biggest star

I think everyone else is fair game.

GRRM hates the "hero's journey" (see: Ned Stark dying) so Jon and Dany dying are nearly certain, unless the show wimps out.

I could see them killing Sansa because they already poo poo on her to be edgy with the Bolton rape poo poo.

Cersei will be in the finale. No idea if she'll die or not, based on what's more "shocking" at that point.

There's no reason to kill Samwise so it'll either be he lives or is killed for a really dumb reason.

Arya is bullet proof because fans will riot.

Tyrion might actually get a happy ending. I think they'll go that soft on him that he doesn't just live, he thrives.

Jon already died. Hahahha.

I'm just saying finale, anyway. Once it's the last episode, anyone could die.

But the title of the the series is literally a reference to Jon. It should end with him singing just to be really on the nose.

To be clear, when I say Jon dies it's going to be him being the last to go down. He's not going to live into old age. He's just going to make it long enough to "win".

Like for a hackney example: he'd survive all this mess including Dany dying, kill Night King, go to get revenge on Cersei, big dramatic scene of Jon heading to the throne room, he's poisoned by Qyburn, kills Qyburn, kills Cersei, climbs the stairs, sits on the throne, music swells, he dies, camera pulls out to a wide shot of King's Landing, tilts up to the sky, fade to black, then fade in and we see old man Tyrion in a log cabin writing the last chapter of his memoirs "A Song of Ice and Fire". Fade to black. Credits.

Boom. Bullshit Hollywood ending with the hero dying.

Am I the only one who assumes I don't even know if I need these tags but I'm trying to be polite but: all that fire is because of Melisandre and her crew showing up and lighting half the NK's army aflame or whatever? Or has that been confirmed somewhere? Because where the gently caress is she? Everyone else has teleportation powers but this witchy spooky chick doesn't?

Honestly I sort of miss all those crazy fan theories that went around pre-show. Varys is a merman. Daario is Euron. Bran ate Jojen. Roose is the half-human immortal son of the Night King who impersonates people by stealing and wearing their skins.
Especially because the real story turned out to be much less interesting in comparison
