Valar Morghulis to John Teti, who went for broke on Jaime Lannister’s demise last week. The Kingslayer managed to swim the length of a lake underwater in heavy armor, defying the odds and dooming John to our players’ graveyard.
15-1 Littlefinger
Eckstein the oddsmaker says: Anyone that wants to come between two sisters, I will kill.
The A.V. Club says: He’ll make it at least another week.
20-1 The Hound or The Mountain
Eckstein the oddsmaker says: It won’t happen until the last episode. One more week until the CleganeBowl.
The A.V. Club says: The Hound is headed north, so he’s in danger. The Mountain’s such a non-entity right now that we think he’ll probably survive.
8-1 The Field: Jon Snow, Meera, Bronn, Euron Greyjoy, anyone at Dragonstone, anyone at Winterfell who’s not Littlefinger, Melisandre
