The final episode of “Game of Thrones” season six is expected to be a humdinger, possibly with a couple of twists if compared to the book version.
The stage has been set following the previous episode “Battle of the Bastards”, providing fans a glimpse of things to come on the “Game of Thrones” season finale, “The Winds of Winter” as bared by the Hollywood Reporter.
Death within the Ranks?
Looking back to last season, “Game of Thrones” did see the death of Jon Snow in the season finale. That was delved into by Forbes but the real question now is will there be another major character killed?
“Game of Thrones” director Miguel Sapochnik may have hinted on that, issuing a stern warning that “People die”. That alone should get fans thinking plus the fact that a lot of major characters find themselves in dangerously serious predicaments as mentioned in separate post from THR.
With no one in mention, it could be anyone of the characters on “Game of Thrones” kicking the bucket. But the question is who?
Here are some possible insights on who could be killed off.
1. Euron Greyjoy. The current King of Iron Islands could be a casualty. He may venture out to look for the Dragon Queen but an uncanny alliance between Yara and Theron could become costly if he doesn’t watch his back.
2. Daenerys Targaryen. If there is one character that could really surprise many, it would be the demise of “Dany” as mentioned on Forbes. Though she is one of the more popular characters in the series so suddenly seeing her die would be a heartbreaker of sorts. It may or may not happen.
3. Benjen Stark. Could a short-lived return be enough for “Benjen Stark”? After saving Bran Stark and Meera Reed, “Benjen” could sacrifice himself.
4. Walder Frey. With most of the Robb Stark army out, Walder Frey is the lone remnant. Could that time be in the “Game of Thrones” season finale?
Then again there is the angle of seeing no one die at all. It is the safe way out but seeing how season finale’s often come out with suspenseful or tearful endings, it would be best to see if one does kick the bucket and how.
