【Hong Kong Archives】

In the Game of Thrones,Hong Kong Archives you win or you die, but Season 7 has felt oddly free of both winning and dying. There are generally less characters to kill off because so many have already died, and it used to be we couldn't survive a season without losing more than a few top-billed faves.

That said, everyone's at risk in the upcoming Season 7 finale...well, almost everyone. Some of them are too important to die just yet, and we think they're the only ones who are safe until next summer's winter.

Below, our best guesses for who makes it through the Season 7 finale still breathing. (Of course, by writing this list we very well might be condemning them!)

Daenerys Targaryen

In the song of ice and fire, the Mother of Dragons has always been fire personified. This finale is literally called "The Dragon and the Wolf," and it's as much in reference to her and Jon as it is to his parents, Rhaegar and Lyanna. Without Dany, the dragons go crazy and burn everything to the ground, the Unsullied and Dothraki go rogue, and Jorah will probably drown himself within 2.5 seconds.

Jon Snow

The King in the North already beat death once, so even if he did die we'd have the Red Woman on speed dial to bring him in for another round. Jon has faced plenty of close calls after the Season 5 finale, including the Battle of the Bastards and this week's run-in with the army of the dead...and ever since he was resurrected those threats to his life don't carry quite the same weight.

Tyrion Lannister

Tyrion has been a fan favorite since day one, and Peter Dinklage has led the opening credits ever since Ned Stark's shocking death meant no more Sean Bean. In Season 8, the show has nothing to lose and Tyrion may be a goner, but the showrunners won't risk losing Tyrion and his fan base (not to mention the Emmy nom) before then.

Bran Stark

In case you haven't heard, Bran is the three-eyed raven. He is annoying so he's going live forever -- but he's also the only person on our side who might be able to control that zombie dragon.

Jaime Lannister

He didn't drown at the Loot Train Attack and he's not going to die in the Season 7 finale. There's a lot of momentum behind the theory that Jaime might kill Cersei, so he has to at least outlive her for that prophecy to come true.

Gendry

Gendry just made his triumphant return after yearsand in a show rapidly putting weight on fan service, they couldn't take that away from us so quickly. Also, he's the only one we know who can work with valerian steel. But also, maybe keep him away from Cersei.

Sam Tarly

You leave him the hell alone, okay? The man who cured greyscale, found dragon glass, and is hopefully listening to Gilly has plenty to offer this war.
