Or Sansa. Sansa is of the North.
“He is coming to claim his Night Queen - Danerys or Cersei”
“Or Sansa. Sansa is of the North.”
I guess like so many others, I have grown attached to the Starks. So yeah, Sansa or Arya might fit that bill as well - maybe better than Cersei. Danerys makes for a good Ice and Fire combo though.
I have heard other folks speculate that the Army of the Dead might need to win this battle in Winterfell, to keep things building toward a big battle in episode 5 somewhere else.
Alternatively, a climactic battle at Winterfell might be held off until then, in a siege.
They still might kill everybody off though. SOMEBODY ought to die in the next episode. I’m guessing some of the second string should start going.
I’m betting on at least Greyworm next episode. He’s outside the walls, and the “Let’s run away after all this” seemed like a setup to make his death more poignant.
