Yeah, but if he breathes ice breath that can turn living people into wights, he can create an entire army on the southern side of the wall within a matter of minutes.

Varys, as far as I can tell, doesn't seem to have much to actually DO at this point. That's not a good sign for survival, but there doesn't seem to be anyone who wants to kill him in Dany's group. I guess he's hanging around until next season, unless he schemes himself into some trouble.

Good points. I guess one could go down in the season finale. Also, Melisandre might try to off Davos remotely, like she did Renly. Just a thought.

I once read an article—I think it was on Slate, but I'm not sure—about an Italian writer who tried to undergo spinal cord surgery just so he could suck his own dick. Can't remember the guy's name, though. Maybe Bannon can read one of his books, not that he's normally inclined to do that? (Reading, I mean.)

Something, I'm sure. Why would they bring him back just to kill him in the next episode? Maybe they'll have him get together with Sansa, or something, I don't know. But it would just be weird for him to die.

Beric probably still has some use going forward. (Also, cool sword.) Thoros dying, however, will up the suspense factor since he's needed to resurrect Beric.

Oh yeah. He's had "heroic death" written all over him since he first appeared. He's the closest to a classic chivalric/tragic figure from medieval literature of anyone on the show.

Gendry doesn't really want the throne, though. And I can't see him getting killed so soon after being re-introduced. But long term, I would admit his chances aren't good.

There's always C-Span

I love how he ends everything with some variation on "thank you."

Hmmm. Makes me think those in the Brotherhood Without Banners who do not have an eye-patch won't last long.

Or magic shampoo and conditioner, in Jon's case.

I can see Jorah dying a heroic death in the bitter cold. His character had "heroic death" written all over him when he first appeared on the show.

He isn't tied to any ideology or party. He's ultimately in it for his own skin*, which makes him more attuned to survival.

The Wildling Bunch

If he survives the White Walker onslaught, Ser Davos can jumpstart a career as a TV pitchman. He's Westeros' answer to Billy Mays

Ralph Macchio, duh

Sorry, I misunderstood. As you can probably tell, I've had great shows spoiled for me that way

You're encouraging people to ruin it for other people.

The elder Tarly will eat it, I'm pretty sure. Dickon will stay around for a short time, because he's named "Dickon." (It would be funny to see a super-serious character like Dany or Missandei snicker when they hear his name.) As I said above, if Drogon dies, Bronn is (flaming) toast. Jamie and Littlefinger have too…
