Valar Morghulis: Who’s most likely to die in the season 8 premiere?
By Corey Smith
11-19. 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.
11. Bronn: 45%. If Cersei considered Jaime’s actions treason, how do you think about she feels about Bronn’s? Bronn better leave King’s Landing pos- haste. Happily, he probably has the good sense to do just that.
12. Varys: 40%. Varys didn’t fall prey to Melisandre’s prophecy this year, but he’s not out of danger. Could the spider meet a fate similar to that of fellow schemer Littlefinger?
13. Melisandre: 35%. Last we saw the Red Woman, she had headed to Essos. But by the start of the new season, she could have returned to Westeros, the land where she believes she’s destined to die.
14. Qyburn: 30%. When Dany discovers that Cersei has abandoned their accord (and it won’t take long), bodies are going to hit the floor. Eliminating Qyburn deprives Cersei of a major ally.
15. Grey Worm: 29%. The war with the White Walkers will have casualties, and Grey Worm is a prime candidate. Just not in the premiere.
16. Edmure Tully: 28%. We have to see Edmure soon, or at the very least discover his fate. What better time than the premiere?
17. Rhaegal: 26%. Now that one dragons gone down, why not another?
18. Podrick Payne: 25%. Podrick left the summit meeting with Bronn to get a beer, and if Cersei goes after Bronn, Pod would side with the mercenary.
19. Tycho Nestoris: 23%. We think Cersei will eventually turn on the Iron Bank like she turns on everyone, just not this soon.
