Valar Morghulis: Who’s most likely to die in “Dragonstone”?
By Corey Smith
31-45. Red-Wedding surprised
We would stake our life that these characters make it through “Dragonstone.”
31. Jon Snow: 10%. Look, ordinarily Jon’s odds of dying would be much lower, as we’ve seen him all over the map in the trailers, but the guy has died once and come back, so who’s to say he can’t do it again?
32. Ghost: 9%. It’s possible that Ghost perishes eventually — the direwolves don’t have the longest life spans on this show — but with his master installed as the King in the North, he can get comfortable for now.
33. Samwell Tarly: 8%. Sam looks to be fairly safe at the Citadel. If he leaves, he might be in danger, but right now, he’s in one of the more peaceful places in Westeros.
34. Gilly (And little Sam): 8%. Ditto for Gilly and little Sam. Unless they die of boredom hanging out in Sam’s dorm room while he studies.
35. Lyanna Mormont: 6%. Listen, if the pint sized hurricane that is Lyanna Mormont dies in the season premiere, we riot.
36. Cersei Lannister: 5%. Cersei finally sat the Iron Throne at the end of season 6, something she’s craved since childhood. She could be in danger later, but expect her to be a major player for a long time yet.
37. Missandei: 4%. Unless that shot of Grey Worm and Missandei getting it on in the trailer takes place in the first five minutes of the episode, we say Missandei is safe for now.
38. Varys: 3%. We are beginning to suspect Varys might actually survive the whole series. At the very least, he survives this week.
39. Arya Stark: 2%. Likewise with Arya, we can’t see her dying before returning to Winterfell and/or crossing more names off her list.
40. Sansa Stark: 1%. Sansa has finally gotten her hands on some power. Time will tell if she can hold onto it, but for this week, she’s safe.
41. Tyrion Lannister: 1%. Granted, we haven’t seen much of Tyrion in the trailers, but there’s no way he perishes in the first episode after having undergone such a lengthy journey.
42. Jaime Lannister: 1%. It’s hard to believe any of our core characters will perish in the first episode, especially when we’ve seen Jaime in multiple locales in the trailers.
43. Bran Stark: 1%. As the new Three-Eyed Raven, Bran appears fairly important this year. And we know he somehow he makes it to Winterfell and gets that cool wheelchair from the trailers, so don’t look for his early exit tomorrow.
44. Daenerys Targaryen: 1%. Dany lands in Westeros after six seasons of talk only to immediately be killed? We highly doubt it.
45. The Night King: 1%. Ending the great war before it begins? Fat chance.
