Well, I guess there are some hacked versions of next week's Game of Thrones episode you could watch on dtube or something. I'm not gonna watch now, I'm gonna wait and watch in HD on a big TV with my friends.
But it appears that Jon Snow and his crew will be heading north of the Wall to try to bring back a wight to King's Landing. Battling the army of the dead can't be easy, I doubt that all will survive of the party of Jon, Jorah Mormont, Gendry, Tormund Giantsbne, the Hound, Thoros of Myr, and Beric Dondarrion. Who do you think will die? And will they stay dead? Thoros has resurrected Beric several times...perhaps one of them will use magic to do some more resurrecting?
Here are my top three picks for who is most likely to die and stay dead:
Jorah Mormont
George R.R. Martin is thought by many to be someone who does not follow typical narrative tropes. But the show is more predictable. It seemed obvious to me that Jorah got his final loving embrace and forgiveness from Khaleesi. He will probably make some heroic, martyring sacrifice to rescue Jon and then perish. Your story is over, Jorah.Thoros of Myr
This bloke doesn't seem much interested in living anymore. Maybe he will resurrect Beric (or someone else) one last time and die in the process.Beric Dondarrion
I wonder if Beric might have some latent resurrecting power himself. If you've read the books, you especially might wonder this, too. It might take all of his remaining life force to resurrect another...maybe Gendry, maybe the brotherhood feels bad about selling him to Melisandre.
Those are the three I think are most likely to die, now I rank the others.
Gendry
He's the heir, however illegitimate, to House Baratheon, so he's gonna end up as the head of that great house. He and Jon are bastard buddies, when Jon sits on the Iron Throne, he will legitimize Gendry. Or....just as he was making friends, Gendry dies heroically, saving Jon. Another of the great houses dies off completely.Tormund Giantsbane
No particular reason to keep him around, killing him off would be sad and give the show some pathos. But he's still gotta hook up with Brienne....he can't die yet.The Hound
Clegane-bowl or no, he's gotta meet up with the Mountain at some point, he's just gotta.Jon Snow
Well, maybe he will die and get reborn again, and become even less human. But he can't die for real. He's still gotta ride a dragon and make out with Khaleesi and such.
Okay, post me your predictions, unless of course you actually KNOW the answers, in which case, keep it to yourself!
