My money is on Tommen, Marg, HS, most if not all of the KG, Pycell, Kevan (both Vary), many other less relevant characters in KL, and Sansa in the north, killed by Littlefinger, since Jon will get control of the north, and Sansa would then be dangerous, since she knows too much about his plans and previous actions.  That would also fit with her cruel streak - she will slip into the role of LSH.

I wonder whether Tommen, standing at a high window in the Red Keep when Aegon’s city gets even redder, hears Bran whispering into his ear “The things I do for love!” and this pushes Tommen into giving the city its name.

It's actually easier just to say who you want to see die.

I would like to see Larry and Carol die, but the most you'll get is Carol in a cliffhanger. I believe the story that says Lena is in Season 7, alive. Before any wildfire gets flung, we have to see if Ser Robt. Strong can singlehandedly defeat the Faith. That is, the show needs to have him display some epic badassery. In an extreme situation he should be able to be like a faster, better armored Wun Wun. We also have to see what's under the helmet - and then I hope they will get rid of him. He could be part of the cliffhanger.

People seem to think Larry is doomed to klll Carol. There does seem to be a tragic aura about his story. I bet when he dies Brienne is throwing people away trying to get to him, the only man she could ever love (after Renly?).

With Littlefinger, the point of his possible death should be poetic justice, and that means he has to overstep. Littlefinger to date has no definite stamp of character at all, except pragmatism. Suppose LF tells Sansa he knew all about Ramsay, Ramsay was supposed to educate Sansa like de Sade. That would justify Sansa (or Jon, etc) in gutting him on the spot. But if LF softens up and gets on his knees before Sansa, she might decide this is after all the only man who ever kissed her nicely.

The fact that Sansa has had only wildly inappropriate matches foisted upon her must mean a lot. In a way LF has been her only true suitor. Suppose we find out - and we could - that LF actually did sell Sansa to the Boltons for money, all so he could rescue her from a mess he threw her into. That surely would satisfy the schemer-lovers of his fan base.

The weird thing about it is, Sansa's true and natural love has been staring us in the face, tragically dickless, the punchline of a joke. So I think Mel or the new Red W. will restore Theon's wang so he can marry SS.

In other words, if LF acts nice - we will wish for the show to go easy on him, give him a chance to reform, etc. Like all abused women, we want to forgive. But if LF, God forbid, turns out to have already disrespected Sansa's sexuality, God help him! Some people have suggested that aspects of LSH may make their way into the show, and that Sansa could end up carrying some of that. Shit, evil Sansa might be sexy as hell, as long as she's not totally evil. If I had to choose life or death between Sansa and Dany I would take Sansa b/c she's tall.

I don't think Littlefinger can marry Sansa and settle down with the kids. He would have scored on her and then dumped her - except now she has this experience with a sociopath, and Sansa will be suspicious of LF despite his timely arrival at Winterfell.

Speaking for myself I want the Faith bloodily eradicated in KL. I want the HS's head ripped off and put on a pike with that goofy grin. I want Septa Unella made to do the Walk of Shame while the whole fkin town goes "Shame, shame" And then I want her impaled through the guts. Lancel Lannister needs to get a Trystane-like spear through the rosette. But these deaths need to be preceded by some attempts to escape and vainglorious statements by those who are about to be spitted that they have actually won.

Pardon me for toning things down.

I don't quite see how the Tyrell story will be integrated into the final alignment of forces. Perhaps they will not really interact with Dany that much. And like many I hope we never see Dorne again, just that one Sand Snake's bare breasts.

Haha, King's Landing. Hadn't thought of that. Nice one!

[Future Null Infinity]

The residents of Castle Black, one morning,  Dolorous Edd will open his eyes and find the Night's King at his bed

[Kytheros]

As for Cersei and surviving ... I think that the FrankenMountain will be used to kill the Faith Militant escort sent to force her to the Sept of Baelor, and the Wildfire will gut the Sept of Baelor. Margaery and Loras might be in the Sept at the time. Tommen either dies at the Sept of Baelor or after it is destroyed, if he commits suicide.

I think that Cersei will attempt to use the wildfire to destroy as much of Kings Landing as possible after Tommen dies, especially the Red Keep, and then she go back to Casterly Rock, leaving Kings Landing as devastated as possible.

[Lady Stouthearted]

We Know KL will burn, and fans wanna see the Freys get their comeuppance. This episode must close old storylines and introduce new ones. The only character I fear for is Jamie because he's dining with the Freys. KL is pretty much a death zone, and Sand Snakes need to get on with their revenge plot if it's ever going to happen.  The Northerners, if they are smart, will issue the justice that Ned Stark would issue and send men to the wall. Danys gotta get on them ships, and Grey Worm and Daario are gonners.

We won't see WW in ep 10 I guess

One of those leaked today as being alive later in the episode than makes sense if they’re dying tonight.

The real question is: Who survives KL?

Cersei is the only one guarenteed to live. The Mountain and Qyburn are with her, so their chances are better than most.

I’m pretty sure that Qyburn keeps the Mountain’s remote control in a secret pocket in his maester’s robes, so I expect him to stick around as long as the Mountain does.  Somebody has to waldo the bot.

The Faith doesn’t have to fetch Loras for the trial, since they’ve already got him locked up.  But how do they plan on prying Cersei out of the Red Keep?  Last time they tried that, with Cousin Lancel and company, things didn’t go so well once the Dowager Queen chose violence.

Maybe they’ll send septas this time instead of sparrows?  That would only make sense if the High Sparrow were so delusional that he thought Cersei would just do whatever Septa Unella told her to do.  And if he thinks that, he really hasn't been paying any attention to Lancel’s reports.

I wonder if that’s when we end up getting this possible reveal.  If so, it would definitely provide for how even without Tommen Cersei could retain the Iron Throne — but not her sanity.  Definitely a season-ending shocker, eh? 

Hm, I wonder what Jaime would think if he returned home to find all that?  It would certainly give Jaime good reason to off his sister.  

And maybe this is what Bran’s dream was about all along.

It isn't obvious the Blackfish is going to take LSH's place on the show?  

 

The he do a 2 episode arc with him then just drop in a rando "he gone" without showing it?

 

How they had him die off just stood out to me as not being in line with how they are writing this

[Arliss]

Melisandre will die. They went out of the way to push her to the side this season.  Last episode they foreshadowed it with her dialogue to Jon "maybe you only have this one part to play" That was her and her part was bringing back Jon

 

it is known

I doubt it but it would make me happy. I don't usually go all Book Nerd Rage on the show but Book Edmure, as hang dog as he is, would never put his uncle in chains anymore than the Blackfish would attempt to refuse Edmure's access to Riverrun. If it turns out that they conned Jaime I will be ecstatic. 

Let's face it, this thread has been compromised by those unfortunate episode 9 and 10 leaks but I am getting the feeling that, with the exception of KL, tonight will once again punt and be all about setting up next season. Dany will still be in Meereen, Bran's flashback at ToJ will play it coy and not really tell us who Lyanna's baby is, Varys will get Dorne on #TeamTargaryen but that is clearly with an eye towards season seven, Sansa may agree to marry LF and Jon may become King in the North thus setting up Jon vs Sansa but lot's can happen between now and next season so I wouldn't get too worked up about any of it. 

That being said I am most confused about the Twins. They have been laying on a Frey massacre thick this year but it won't be Jaime as that's just silly so it has to be Arya but that's a lot of narrative to work through to set that up even in the 68 minutes the episode has. I think even this may turn out to be set up for next year. Arya shows up at the Twins cut to black!!! lol.

If Qyburn die then I will miss him greatly, he is the man, he will do anything to make the job done, an intelligent and  mad scientist

That’s what we’re all afraid of, actually. See my link a few postings back in this thread.

Sorry but I'm avoiding spoilers like the plague

Nice idea about Blackfish Stoneheart. He could send some regards to Walder Frey. :-) Although, Arya is the most probable pie-maker

I think both Mel and Jamie are at risk but I can't see either dying right now, Margery, Lancel, Pycelle, Lloris, Tommen are as good as dead though in my opinion.  Littlefinger  or Sansa as a shock outside bet.

I agree, Margary, Tommen, Lancel, Kevan, High Septon, Unella, all toast.

[plectrum]

I can't help but feel like the Sand Snakes will take another victim in this episode somehow.  In terms of sheer unpredictability, I'm wondering if Varys doesn't go to recruit Dorne to Dany's cause and wind up getting killed himself.  Surely they have to blame him for something in Robert's Rebellion.  In any case, they've been AWOL since episode 1, so hey have to come back somehow.
