    lol,

    How long until the first points are given?

    Nothing triggered in this first episode. However, there are a few developments ...
    • Bran arrives at the Wall, bringing him closer to Jon.
    • Arya explicitly states her intention to head to King's Landing to kill Cersei. Seems like big trouble for at least one of them. Maybe both.
    • Euron Greyjoy promises to bring Cersei a prize to prove his worth. Could this be Tyrion?
    • Sandor is heading away from Gregor it seems and has a different purpose at this point.
    • Tormund is heading for Eastwatch-by-the-sea, right into the thick of the Army of the Dead, according to The Hound's vision in the fire.

    Tormund sure doesn't have much of a purpose, except to be a recognizable character that dies in a brief onslaught at this point.

    Why the heck did I think he'd live??

    If Brienne ever returns his affections in the slightest, you'll know he's a dead man.

    Fuck. I forgot about the Prophecy scene that tells how Cersei Lannister will die.

    Most of us also did it seems except for Ivan and Bacon.

    Well, one of my predictions almost came true. And not one I wanted to.

    First I was like, finally getting our first death!

    Rules: In order to count, the character death must be definitive. Ambiguous situations will be treated as if the character is alive.

    I don't think it's ambiguous at all. A great sendoff for Olenna.

    If that's the last we see of Olenna, which I'm almost certain it is, that's going to count as a death.

    I can already picture the Reddit theories on how they'll figure out she's alive.

    PS - She's dead.

    First rule of genre fiction, boys: If you don't actually see the character's body, they're not dead.

    If the series ends and we haven't seen her again, she is dead. That's all that matters for the purposes of this thread.

    I was more making a prediction in the prediction thread.

    But thank you for that small clarification.

    Presumed Dead
    Olenna Tyrell

    Correct: Spinal, Duke, Bac0n, Ivan, Duke's dad
    Incorrect: Ezee

    Will we ever see a scene set in Casterly Rock?
    Answer: Yes!

    Correct: Ezee, Duke, Bac0n, Ivan, Duke's Dad
    Incorrect: Spinal

    Points so far
    : (scoreboard is totally unofficial until the show is over)
    Duke, Bac0n, Ivan, Duke's Dad - 4
    Ezee - 3
    Spinal - 1

    At High Risk
    Yara Greyjoy (captured by Euron Greyjoy, certain to face punishment of some kind)
    Tormund Giantsbane (sent off to be first line of defense against White Walkers)
    Cersei Lannister (long list of people who want to kill her, she'll always be at risk)

    At Medium Risk
    Melisandre (predicted her own death - on the other hand, has a sketchy record in making correct predictions)
    Varys (Melisandre predicted his death as well, but will it happen before the end of the series?)
    Eddison Tollett (also sitting up in White Walker territory)
    Ellaria Sand (Cersei actually wants to keep her alive as a part of her torture, but she may find a way to take her own life)
    Grey Worm (out in the field and had a tender goodbye sex session before leaving)

    At Low Risk
    Hot Pie (he's a survivor)

    Of course, in this universe, everyone is at some degree of risk. These just seem to be the ones in the spotlight right now.

    Probability of Reunions

    High likelihood
    Arya and Sansa (Arya is heading towards Winterfell, of course Arya does tend to arrive someplace just after her family member has had something horrible happen)
    Daenerys and Jorah (Jorah is heading her direction, unless he is waylaid, this will probably happen)
    Tyrion and Cersei (with the two engaged in active warfare, a showdown seems inevitable)
    Tyrion and Jamie (now that he knows Tyrion didn't kill his son, will they reconcile?)
    Jon and Bran (Bran holds the key piece of information that will determine Jon's ultimate fate)

    Medium likelihood
    Gregor and Sandor (no indication they're crossing paths anytime soon, but their showdown has long been speculated)
    Jon and Arya (they could meet up back in Winterfell, but who knows when Jon is heading back that way, he seems caught up with Daenerys for now)
    Jon and Sam (they are far apart right now in very different environments, however they are still active collaborators)
    Davos and Melisandre (she sidestepped their potential reunion this time, but also has said that she will return to Westeros to die somehow)
    Tyrion and Bronn (Bronn is still fighting alongside the Lannisters, will the sellsword pull one last team switch?)
    Arya and Cersei (once seemed like a sure thing, but now Arya seems to be following a different path)
    Arya and Jaqen (there's no indication that Jaqen has any further role in the series so I was initially going to rate this 'low', but Arya's desire to return to normalcy is suspicious, does he track her down?)

    Low likelihood
    Brienne and Jamie (as of right now, it seems that their farewell near Riverrun was final, no indication their fates are further connected)
    Daenerys and Daario (there's no indication at this point that Daario is returning to the series, he has a job to do in Meereen and seems unlikely to join the battle in Westeros)
    Tyrion and Podrick (as much as I'd like to see this, there is no evidence so far to suggest they'll be crossing paths)

    Wonder why Tormund is so low. He'd be top three for me right now.

    REUNITED!

    Arya Stark and Sansa Stark

    Points so far: (scoreboard is totally unofficial until the show is over)
    Duke, Ivan, Duke's Dad - 6
    Ezee - 5
    Bac0n - 4
    Spinal - 1

    Getting Closer:
    Tyrion and Jaime - Assuming Jaime survives his plunge, Tyrion is right there, near the battlefield.
    Tyrion and Bronn - Same story here. Will Tyrion convince Bronn to team up again?
    Daenerys and Jorah - Highgarden and Oldtown are both in The Reach. But will Jorah know where to find her?

    Also ...
    If you selected Meera Reed to survive the series, it's good news for you that she seems to be saying goodbye in good health.

    Yara is still in extreme danger, but at least an attempted rescue seems to be in the works.

    A lot was made of Arya acquiring the Valyrian Steel blade, which seems to suggest that her ultimate target may not be human. Will it be Arya that vanquishes the Night King?

    Ideally it will come down to Duke and his dad going into the last episode.
