Bets on who makes it to the end?

Re: Game of Thrones Fans!! 4/29
I was also super surprised at how few deaths we had, and especially that we lost 0 from the A-list and only 2 from the B-list. I was also a bit disappointed in the treatment of some of the deaths. I really only felt like Jorah's was meaningful. Theon's kind of felt trite. I'm glad he had a moment with Bran, but it was a really anticlimactic end to his story arc. I get the connection to Ned with an honorable death, and it's not like he was going to go on to have a happy married life, and I know that in real life people just die in normal, stupid ways, but after 8 seasons and so much development, he deserved better.
Also, Dany and Jon were dumb and wasted in this battle. Why not burn all the dead? Jon already knows he should do that! Why keep flying your dragons into extra-dangerous places with no real payoff? Jon, use your dragon to light the damn trench! Dany, good job saving Jon, but why did you even land in the first place? Why did you wait until you were overrun to try to take off again? Dumb.
- fucking love Arya. Though annoyed that she somehow magically flew over all the other un-dead to get to the NK. Was the dagger she used to kill him the one that Bran gave her?? Because if so, holy foreshadowing. We should have known it would be her to kill him.
- Where TF is ghost. I am assuming he's not dead because they surely wouldn't just kill him off screen, right?!
- Jorah's death was sad, but obviously expected. You knew he was going to die saving Dany. He lived to serve her.
- agree that Dany was annoying at so many parts. Why was she just sitting there watching, letting Drogon get attacked by people? So stupid.
Totally expected Jorah to die. He did it at least protecting Dany, which is probably the way his character would want to go anyways.
Loved that they had Arya kill NK, though also annoyed she was able to get by all the wights. Was super fast running and stealth one of her "no-face-no-name' skills? Since everyone basically survived this battle, I'm expecting that there will be more deaths in the coming war with Cersei. Or at least I hope they don't hold back, I love all of the characters but if it's their time and it makes sense in the storyline, bye Felicia.

Team Arya and Gendry on the throne lol
Anyway, I totally agreee about Dany landing and then not taking off the second Jon ran toward the keep. I get why they did it, so she could fall off, fight alongside Jorah, get him killed, etc. but it seemed lazy to me.
As for Arya, hell yes! That was amazing. I jumped up and yelled “Fuck yeah, it’s Arya Fucking Stark” over and over. I was not expecting her to be the one and it was epic!
Scenes I cried at yesterday:

@junebabyh Yes I think for sure NK is Targaeryan (however it's spelled). I thought so based on the first episode of the 1st season and this one when the Targaeryan symbol was made out of dead people's limbs and so when she started blasting him I yelled "fire can't hurt him!" from my couch
Great episode except when it gets so dark and I can’t tell what’s going on ah! My comments pretty much are all the same as above. I wasn’t expecting Arya at the end at all but thought that was a cool ending (besides her just appearing out of nowhere ha).
Also was surprised about the red woman. She seemed to just come back into play out of nowhere? (unless I can’t remember how it ended with her in past seasons).
Team Arya here too, though I don’t think she wants to be on the throne.
So many bad decisions! Not burning the bodies? Rookie mistake. Landing the dragon? Why would you do that? Hiding in a crypt? I did NOT see that one coming but there were a lot of people there with experience with white walkers. Someone should have thought of it.
I was was shocked that most of the main characters are still alive. Before the episode I wondered who they would kill off. 3/4 of the way through I was like “OMG they’re just going to kill everyone!!”
I loved the scene where Sansa and Tyrion had a moment behind the statue in the crypt. I loved the scene where Arya was being a badass fighting all the white walkers on her own. It showed how good of a fighter she actually is (even compared to the pros like Jamie and Brienne), and set it up to be plausible that she would save them all. I love that the Hound was too afraid to participate until he saw that Arya might be in trouble and then he jumped in.
The scene in the library had me half covering my eyes and clutching DH’s arm. It was a little too horror movie for my taste.
Arya is a awesome and I really thought she was about to die. Fun fact - before I was pregnant with my first DH and I considered the name Arya/Aria for a girl but when I was pregnant with DD, Arya was going through her mass murderer phase and we were like “Umm, maybe not.” She was my favorite character the first couple seasons and I’m glad she played such an amazing role.
@marbellie @greenbean-2 I also have always liked the name Arya and in my culture it's actually a normal name so I've heard it since growing up. However now with all the GOT babies out there I don't think I could do it. There was a NYT article about all the babies being named Khaleesi!
When we got pregnant I told DH I was hesitant to stick with it because I was unsure how they were going to continue her arc.
After her scene I told DH that it was back on the table. :P

Even though it’s the most “obvious” outcome I still think Jon will take the throne.
I will admit there are many times I don’t understand what’s going on and have to read recaps afterward because there’s just too many characters and subplots when I typically work while watching. So I definitely am not the best person to make these predictions lol.
