\u2018We\u2019re All Going to Die!\u2019<\/strong><\/h2>\n\u201cThis is different, this is death,\u201d explains Podrick of the Army of the Dead early on. Arya puts on a brave face on it, but later admits to Gendry, \u201cWe\u2019re probably going to die soon,\u201d and so she may as well lose her virginity.<\/p>\n
Gendry just happens to be in the right place at the right time.<\/p>\n
But wait, at least there\u2019s a battle plan: Kill the Night King and his remorseless wights will probably just evaporate into thin air. Maybe. We can even use Bran as bait.<\/em><\/p>\nBran is up for it.<\/p>\n
\n
\u201cWe\u2019re all going to die,\u201d says Tormund matter-of-factly once he\u2019s heard the plan, \u201cbut at least we\u2019re going to die together.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Later, he tells us a strange story about breastfeeding.<\/p>\n
\u201cLast man left, burn the rest of us,\u201d says Eddison Tollet in a rare moment of levity.<\/p>\n
Place Your Bets<\/strong><\/h2>\nOutside, on the battlements, Tyrion and Jaime are shooting the breeze: \u201cSo, we\u2019re going to die at Winterfell,\u201d muses Tyrion to his brother, relishing the delicious irony.<\/p>\n
Later, gazing into a roaring hearth, Tyrion tells Jaime he\u2019d like to see the look on their father\u2019s face if he knew his sons were going to \u201cdie defending Winterfell.\u201d More irony relished.<\/p>\n
Enter Brienne and Gendry: \u201cWe didn\u2019t mean to interrupt,\u201d says Brienne, \u201cwe were just looking for somewhere warm to \u2013\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cContemplate your imminent death? You\u2019ve come to the right place,\u201d interjects Tyrion, without missing a beat.<\/p>\n
Enter Davos: \u201cFigured I could wait to die freezing my balls off out there or wait to die nice and warm in here,\u201d he says. No contest, really, Davos.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt least we\u2019ll die with honor,\u201d says Brienne later.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think we might live,\u201d says Tyrion, suddenly.<\/p>\n
Everybody laughs.<\/p>\n
Curtains for Ser Brienne?<\/strong><\/h2>\nBloodbath it is then. But who\u2019s going first?<\/p>\n
Well, for a start, the bookies don\u2019t think it\u2019s the Night King, which means the battle plan is expected to fail.<\/p>\n
Jaime Lannister is the favorite with many bookmakers, possibly because he is not only facing an army of undead but he\u2019s also on Arya\u2019s kill list — and Cersei\u2019s.<\/p>\n
But for us, it\u2019s just got to be curtains for Brienne. At the end of the last episode she became a knight, fulfilling her life\u2019s dream, and you don\u2019t get happy endings in Game of Thrones.<\/em> You just don\u2019t.<\/p>\nBrienne is 2\/1 to be the first main character to die (albeit with honor) in episode 3.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
