Valar Morghulis: Who’s most likely to die in “Dragonstone”?
By Corey Smith
21-30. Tywin-Lannister-sitting-on-the-toilet surprised
It was surprising, but the way he treated his family had to come back and bite him sooner or later. If these characters died in “Dragonstone,” we’d raise an eyebrow.
21. Edmure Tully: 25%. Edmure is back in jail at the Twins. That’s bad. Still, he’s a valuable hostage, so our guess is he’ll be kept alive, even if he’s not in the best of shape.
22. Davos Seaworth: 22%. Granted, serving kings is never completely safe, but Davos seems secure in his role as the best orator still alive on Game Of Thrones.
23. The Hound: 20%. The Hound did not look happy in the promo shots we’ve seen of him in the snow, but he’s too major a character to kill this early without seeing where his story goes.
24. Melisandre: 20%. Melisandre is an enigma this season. In the trailers, she appeared on Dragonstone, which was a surprise, but at least it means she’s out of the fray for the moment.
25. Tormund Gianstbane: 20%. We’ve seen images of Tormund in Jon’s audience chamber as well as north of the Wall, meaning that unless Jon gets up to a hell of lot in the premiere, Tormund is safe this week.
26. Podrick Payne: 20%. Unless Brienne accidentally lops his head off while training, we’re going to say Podrick makes it through.
27. Brienne of Tarth: 15%. From promotional photos, we know Brienne arrives back at Winterfell after her trip to Riverrun. That says safety to us, at least for the first episode.
28. Viserion: 13%. Naming your dragon after your abusive, deceased brother doesn’t exactly bode well. The dragons seem all-powerful, but we have seen them hurt before. They’re not immortal, and if Dany uses them to conquer Westeros, there will be a lot of people very mad at them very soon.
29. Rhaeghal: 12%. It’s a coin flip between Rhaeghal and Viserion as to who is in more danger, but based solely on Rhaeghal’s name, we’re going to say he’s in slightly less danger than his brother. Slightly.
30. Drogon: 10%. Drogon looked fairly busy wreaking havoc on hapless Lannister soldiers int he trailers, but as Daenerys’ personal mount, we’re betting he lasts awhile.
