Valar Morghulis: Who’s most likely to die in “Eastwatch”?

Valar morghulis: All men (and women) must die. But when?

Welcome to Valar Morghulis, a weekly column about death and destruction in the wide world of Westeros. Each week, we’ll try to predict how likely every character on Game of Thrones is to breathe their last in the upcoming episode. We’ll also review what we got right, as well as what we got horribly wrong, last time.

Unfortunately for our reputation as prognosticators, no one with a name died last week on “The Spoils of War,” so none of our picks were correct. We would, however, like a brief moment of silence for all the Lannister soldiers who died screaming before the heat of Drogon’s breath. We even felt bad for them. We felt even worse that none of them were on our list.

This week’s episode, “Eastwatch,” takes its name from a castle on the Wall: Eastwatch-by-the-Sea. It’s been mentioned several times this season — it’s where both Tormund Giantsbane and the Brotherhood Without Banners were heading last we saw them. Will any of them die there? Let’s dig in.
