Game Of Thrones Season 8: Ranking The Probability Of Every Character Death In The Finale

Who will survive the game of thrones, and who will die?

This is it. We're in the endgame now.

Game of Thrones Season 8 has, to put it mildly, been one of the most divisive seasons of TV in recent memory. From broad issues around the writing, pacing, and logic, to more specific arguments about the direction of certain character arcs, it's inspired a feverish debate that nothing else can come close to matching.

It's the last true watercooler TV show, and now it's almost over for good. After 72 episodes, eight years, and an unfathomable number of deaths, shocks, thrills, spills, and just about everything else you can throw into a TV show, whether it's a shadow baby or a coffee cup, Game of Thrones is coming to an end. And for a series that has, in part, been defined by its willingness to kill characters off, there's bound to be at least one or two more character exits before the show rolls its credits for the last time.

What do we say to the God of Death? Well, if not today, then when? And if today, then whose life will be claimed? All men must die, but not all of them in this episode.
