Do we all agree that Tyrion will survive?


That he will probably be the last person to speak, and offer an eloquently sardonic comment on the whole series of events?

reply

No. I don't think it's very likely that he'll survive.

reply

I must disagree. Of all the characters, I think he is one of the most likely to make it out alive.

reply

I disagree, I think Tyrion has been heading down a very dark path for a while now, and while there's a chance he'll pull out of it, the odds are good that we've been watching his decline and fall. Which would piss me off big time, as I don't think his slow fall from grace has been terribly well-written.

Sam's the one most likely to survive BTW.

reply

Out of all of them, he's the one I would most want to see survive, but I think anything is possible.

reply

He's a fan favorite therefore I could see him be killed off just to make us cry. Those rat bastards!!!!

reply

Fan favorite who they ruined to help push other characters.

From the beginning, they make Tyrion a Stark named Lannister. Rather than a Lannister with a few Stark traits like in the books.

Then they have made him seem foolish and make one bad decision after another to push other characters. Grey Woman and Missandei in Meereen telling him over and over again not to trust the slavers. Them somehow they show up with no warning. Pfft. They couldn't have Dany making mistakes, so the whole battle strategy in Westeros was his responsible. Now he's responsible for Dany trusting Cersei, when she had no choice anyway.

A couple maudlin scenes fits with making Tyrion an idiot that everyone likes.

reply

Nope. How can I agree to something without any evidence to suggest it?

reply

After the clear foreshadowing of his death this past episode when he reminisced to Jaime what he used to imagine it'd be like on his death bed?

Absolutely not. Sure there's a chance it could be a red herring because it is Game of Thrones, but in my opinion it's probably not.

reply

Pretty much everyone was doing that "we're all doomed" riff last episode. If this is a sign of impending death it's going to be an awfully empty final three episodes with nobody around. What about Arya, let's sleep together because I don't want to die a virgin? That doesn't mean she's toast either - but it's a much bigger foreshadow than a little gallows humor.

Thinking we can read the tea leaves and predict who they'll kill off is silly. If the writers have done their jobs at least some of those deaths will come as total shocks. Both who dies, and how.

reply

But deathbed foreshadowing specifically is so common as to be cliché. I only heard that from Tyrion.

I actually don't expect many survivors at all going off what GRRM has said about it himself so if he does survive then I'd see that as a red herring.

reply

No. I can agree that he is kind of the mainest character. That certainly doesn't make him safe though.
