Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen are the two main characters of the show. One's a Queen, the other's King. An orphan girl from the other side of the world, and a bastard from the North. Fire and Ice.

They're going to make it to the finale of the show without a shadow of a doubt, and yet, because they're the two main characters, it also feels like one of them has to die. How does a series like Game of Thrones end with BOTH of them alive?

So which will it be? There's a fitting case to be made for either. Jon could die, with Daenerys learning from him how to be more honourable as a leader. The issue is Jon's already died once, but also the Dany's arc could be more powerful if she dies: her whole journey has been about ruling, and if she were to die by sacrificing herself for the very people she wants to rule, it'd be a fitting end. One of them has to go, and at the moment the money is on Dany.
