My guess: I think Jaime will die saving Brienne, and I don’t think there’s any reason for him to have one last encounter with Cersei, though someone, errr... no one, will need his face for an encounter to put her list to bed. 

Also, The hound has to live for Clegane Bowl. 

lol  Arya is done with this girl has no name. 

 

This girl is Arya Stark of Winterfell.  Using Jamie's face would be awesome.

True.  Arya killing Cersei as Jaime would be brilliant.

Copied from other thread:

 

Since there are three episodes left after next week we have to assume (don't we?) that the Night King will be defeated.  I think Jon kills him.

 

I think Jon, Sansa, Tyrion survive.  Theon, Grey Worm, Brienne are almost certain to die.  I'm thinking Jaime will live as there needs to be at least one more encounter with Cersei.

 

When do we see Melisandre again?

 

Edit -- on second thought maybe Jaime (Kingslayer) kills the Night King?  Poetic...

 

Theon's dead.  His story arc is completed with his return to Winterfell.  Brienne...probably, since her arc is completed with knighthood.  Grey Worm...probably, based on the "Let's make future plans" trope.  

 

Sansa and Tyrion almost certainly survive, since there's more of their story to tell.  Same with Jaime - I don't think his arc's complete until he stands up to Cersei.  Jon...I'm not sure.  Yes, there's more of his story to tell...but ending that story prematurely, finding out he's a Targaryen, is the kind of curve-ball GoT likes to throw.  

 

It's not impossible that Dany or Arya die, too.  Personally...I suspect Arya kills the Night King, defending Bran with that kick-ass dragonglass bo she now has.

[DC Tom]

Another point I just realized: some of those characters who die will end up fighting for the Night King.  In other words, Brienne might not just die, but might be reanimated.  Tormund vs. Brienne-wight, anyone?

 

Plus...all the women and children, and Tyrion are safe.  Under the castle.  In the crypt.  Great place to be safe from a Night King that reanimates the dead, hmm?

I want Arya to live but I think 99% of fans do...which means she'll probably die.

I’m sure this will happen, I only hope they don’t overplay it.

 

I don’t think Tyrion actually winds up in the crypt. I’m sure he’ll find a way to be in the thick of it.

I think, if Tyrion winds up in the crypt, there's going to be a battle in the crypt.  Simply because, from a narrative standpoint, you don't sideline a major character like Tyrion in an episode like next week's.  If he wasn't involved, they'd put him in the extreme elsewhere, not just off-screen from the action.

I think she's the one to take him out as whole "I know death" line to Gendry and the painfully boring story line of her training may actually pay off.

I predicted they'd all turn into Wights in the crypt.  Gilly and the baby as it's likely the Night King knows the layout of Winterfell.  I'd like to see a Wight Brienne take on Tormund or vice versa.

can the night king just reanimate corpses they dont kill?

You wouldn't think so, otherwise why wouldn't he just raise the dead everywhere

And probably before the Hound, so he has an opportunity to show, in his own inimitable gruff way, how fond he was of her.  Which probably means she dies next episode.

 

Basically, since all the surviving Stark kids are together again - Sansa, Bran, Arya, Jon - one of them has to die.  And Bran's pretty much out, since they've just argued that if the Three-Eyed Raven dies, the Night King wins.  Of the other three, Arya's most expendable.

Jaime said he wants to die in the arms of the woman he loves so it's definitely a possibility.  It's a different kind of love.

Yes.  I also think if you kill the Night King all the wights will also vanish. 

[Wayne Cubed]

I don't think that make sense at all, and would be very hard to explain away. Because if that is the case, how close does he have to be to reanimate them? And why wouldn't he just go around to graveyards raising all the dead?

[Rockpile233]

So I’ve actually been surprised how many people expect the night king to be defeated at Winterfell. 

 

I can definitely see the argument, but I can’t imagine that the conclusion of “Ice and Fire” boils down to overcoming Cersei for the throne. I suppose we are already strictly in conclusion at this point. I still expect Jon to defeat the NK.

Yeah.  I'm not sure once they're buried.  Can you imagine Ned, Catelyn, Rickon, Lyanna and other dead Starks being raised from the dead?

I know that Ygritte wanted Jon to burn her body when he was supposed to execute her when they first me so I'm not so sure about that.  Speaking of which, Jon and Dany's relationship is weak as hell compared to Jon and Ygritte's.

That's a good point.  Arya pry should've picked Tywin, Cersei, and the Night King in hindsight.

I don't know if Catelyn's bones were ever returned to Winterfell.    Lady Stoneheart is roaming the pages of book 6

 

 

Whats wrong with theses pictures?    selling a 6 book set .......  hmmmm

It could be she didn't understand how the Night King was able to raise the dead. I'd believe that, I think, over the Night King just being able to raise the dead whenever he wants. Unless it's a case that he has to pass over the body or something?

LOL at anyone who has truly watched the show and thinks last night's episode was a "waste."  It was a terrific episode.  For one, it reinforced that Bran and Jaime are the only two who know Jaime pushed Bran out of the tower, and that there is a "plan" for Jaime (likely a sacrifice for the greater good of the living).

 

One of the biggest takeaways (for me) from last night was further evidence that Dany has gone beyond trying to "make the world better than we left it" and now sounds more like the power-hungry rulers before her.  Everything is about "retaking the Iron Throne."  This will be her undoing, as I'm now thinking she will not survive to the end.  It would have been so easy for her to reassure Sansa that the North would be left on its own after the war.  I wasn't at all surprised by Dany's reaction to Jon's revelation -- in her mind, the guy whose family she barbecued and Jon's brother want to undermine her.

 

As noted above this was a last chance to see all of our "favorite" characters again, because many will die in the episode(s) to come.  How can that be "annoying" or "a waste?"

 

I guess if you only watch the show for the nudity and gore that might be your thinking.

 

Next week the schitt hits the fan.

 

 

 

LOL at anyone who thought an hour long ode-to-self was even passably entertaining.

 

If you didn't already know dragongirl was mad for power and destined to be a horrible ruler I question how 'truly' you watch the show.

 

And if you thought the writers needed some grand get together because they're worried the fans are going to be sad at some main characters getting killed off...holy hell are you not giving yourself much credit. You spent 58 mins enjoying an HBO metamasturbation and because there weren't any breasts or blood you think that made it important? Christ dude, they took this week off. It's ok. It happens. But to sweep the reintroduction of Jamie L, reuinted w/ his brother, Starks et al, in the North no less, into a couple scenes and throw in a totally unnecessary 'let's get Arya laid' scene of equal length was laughably bad. The best part of it was Podrick singing. That was great. The rest was terrible.

 

My guess is contract dispute with Harrington this week or something. They gave him, what, about 3 lines total the entire episode?

I agree, all of the Starks can't survive.

 

Something else I'm waiting to see...what is Beric Dondarrion's role?  As we've heard a number of times, he was brought back for a reason.

You say that like it’s a bad thing. 

 

Arya and Gendry have had the hits for each other for years. She survives because she’s pregnant. 

She had a childhood crush on him as a kid; that was it.  I'm aware of their history.

 

The scene was still creepy and awkward.  We just didn't need to see Arya taking her clothes off.  She's not that sort of character.

Because you are thinking of Arya as a young teenager and not  22 in real life.

Ok, so according to Vladimir Furdik he kinda let slip that the battle of Winterfell is going to last nearly the entire 3rd episode. Almost a full hour he said. Took something like 55 days/nights to film. Wondering what the back and forth will be, besides obvious deaths of important characters.

During the opening song/animation they showed the flaming trench around Winterfell. They also mentioned it briefly if I remember. I imagine they’ll retreat past that and light it up at some point.

 

Unfortunatly an ice dragon could probably make short work of it or fly right over. Wonder if that’s how the NK will descend on Bran.
