"And when your tears have drowned you, the valonqar shall wrap his hands about your pale white throat and choke the life from you." - Maggy the Frog, to Cersei
She correctly predicted that all 3 of her children would die, so this would seem to nix any chance that Arya kills Cersei. Has to be Tyrion or Jaime. But also doesn't rule out the possibility of Jaime dying this episode, being turned into a white walker, and then killing her later. That would certainly also support what Bran said to Jaime, although I kind of interpreted his "what makes you think there will be an after" as speaking more generally about all of humanity - not Jaime specifically.
I'll give you one dude for sure who's dead this week: Beric Dondarrion. Dude's only real purpose was to bring the Hound back into the fold; kinda shocked he didn't die when Thoros did last season. Can't see him having any other role.
I think Tormund dies too - likely while saving Brienne. Although Brienne could be a goner too. Having Jaime asking to serve under her and then her finally getting knighted - man that just feels like they've tied everything up with her character arc doesn't it?
Kick, I think you're exactly right about the Night King. He's gonna show up in the crypt - not the godswood. Zombie Ned and possibly Lyanna? We shall see. Theon could definitely die too - his arc seems pretty complete as well. But he's protecting Bran so if the Night King indeed doesn't show up there it would seem there will be a lot of sitting around with nothing to do there.
The reaction to Arya having sex says something really disturbing about our culture. Watching her turn into a hardened killer and professional assasin, culminating in her calmly slitting Littlefinger's throat last season - the masses say yeah that's totally fine. Arya acting like an actual woman with sexual feelings- ewwwwwww that's yucky! I get that her transformation into a killer was well-earned over many seasons, while this was kind of out of the blue. But it's also a subtle callback to episode 1 when Robert Baratheon says to Ned - "we should join our houses." Of course, at the time he was referring to Sansa and Joffrey, but instead it's his bastard and Arya that actually happens. Yeah, they could have cut away from the scene earlier but other than some of Ramsay's more vicious acts, when has GoT ever shied away from showing things? And what did we see? Her bare ass and some side boob? Pretty tame by GoT standards.
