Game Of Thrones Season 7: Predicting Who Lives And Who Dies

As Season 6 came to a close, and Cersei sat defiantly on the Iron Throne, her death a year later seemed a sure thing. Jaime appears destined to kill her, and there's little room for her in the final battle of the series.

Cersei will die at some point, but the only question is whether it'll happen right at the end of Season 7, or if she'll scrape through to Season 8. There's value in both - one is a huge note to end the season on, the other keeps Lena Headey in the game a little longer. If the season is going to end with the White Walkers invading, then it might actually be better to save Cersei's death, as otherwise it could be immediately overshadowed. But then, it's only delaying the inevitable, and if Cersei steadfastly refuses to recognise the real threat in Season 7, then killing her at the very end might be the only option.

Prediction: She's a goner sooner or later... And sooner just about edges it.

Who do you think will die in Season 7? Let us know down in the comments.
