Valar Morghulis: Who’s most likely to die in “The Dragon and the Wolf”?
By Corey Smith
12-21. Wun-Wun-smashing-that-dude-into-the-wall surprised
When you shoot a giant with a crossbow, what do you think is going to happen? We wouldn’t be surprised if any of these people kicked it.
12. Bronn: 38%. Bronn survived another week with the Lannisters, but Cersei still might bear a grudge after he arranged Jaime’s meeting with Tyrion.
13. Qyburn: 35%. We don’t see outright hostilities breaking out in King’s Landing, but Qyburn is the brains behind Cersei’s operation, and that could mean the disgraced maester is quietly “disappeared.”
14. Grey Worm: 30%. Grey Worm survived Casterly Rock, but we still feel he’s marked for death, if only because he’s happily in love. And we don’t get nice things on Game of Thrones.
15. The Hound: 30%. With the Hound and the Mountain in the same place for the first time since season 1, Cleganebowl is a distinct possibility. Get hype.
16. Tycho Nestoris: 29%. The good relationship between the Iron Bank and the Crown simply cannot last, and we don’t think Cersei will send a strongly worded raven to let them know the honeymoon is over.
17. Edmure Tully: 28%. Edmure. Edmure Tully to the front. Is this guy even still alive? We have no idea.
18. Rhaegal: 25%. Now that we know the dragons can be killed, all bets are off. Dany is flying into King’s Landing, and Cersei might just have another trick up her sleeve, like more scorpions.
19. Drogon: 24%. Drogon’s odds are a little better because he has a bigger role in the story.
20. Beric Dondarrion: 20%. Beric appeared to be fine after Thoros’, but this is a guy who’s died almost 10 times. The next time it happens, Thoros won’t be around to resurrect him. Also, he’s staying near the Wall, where no one is safe.
21. Gendry: 20%. This is our long shot of the week, but if anyone could incite Cersei to violence, it would be Gendry, Robert Baratheon’s lone surviving bastard.
