For the record: We at EW know absolutely nothing about the final season of Game of Thrones.
We offer this list as a mix of “duh, of course!”
1.The Night King will be defeated
Obvious, right?

HBO
Nobody (aside from Jon Snow) thinks The Night King might actually win this thing.
Plus, George R.R.
The suspense, therefore, comes from who the Night King kills before he’s defeated.

HBO
And his most likely target is a big one…
3.
Plus, remember how Tyrion kept fretting about Dany taking dangerous chances by risking herself during season 7?
This could be foreshadowing.

Perhaps she takes one chance too many?
Maybe because it applies tobothand its their child whos the Prince?
Perhaps this is why the Lord of Light brought back Jon Snow – to fulfill this baby-making purpose?

(We love that Jaime Lannister as Azor Ahai theory too.)
But Dany having a baby would probably require something we bet you overlooked…
6.Time jump!
So when would Dany have a child?

HBO
But Jon cant die before he…
7.Jon rides a dragon
Drogon already seems cool with Jon.
Oh, and Ghost?
One character who is firmly safe, however, is..
8.

HBO
Even if untrue, the fan favorite is probably the safest character in the final season.
will make their stand near there.
But what if his role is more romantic?

HBO
But let’s get back to that battle.
You wouldn’t expect all to survive intact, or all to be mercilessly shattered either.
We talked about Jon and Dany.

Cersei feels utterly doomed (yet again!)
So that leaves Missandei and Grey Worm as the most likely to squeak through.
She also said she must return to Westeros one more time to die.
