Who would you be most sad to see die in this final season of Game of Thrones?

“Brienne, because I always support tall women.”

Greta Johnsen, owner of a boutique medieval crown-making factory

“Samwell. Because I’m pretty sure he’s the one who writes the story, so if he dies before then, we will not have the story at all, which would create a paradox of space and time only The Doctor could fix.”

“My career as a know-it-all TV show recapper. We shall never come this way again.”

Peter Sagal, who hasn’t seen the sun since August 27, 2017
