It is a bit worrying that it's going the way of The Walking Dead when it comes to the biggest main characters. I remember last TWD season they tried to do a "Rick death" scene where he was swamped by walkers and Michone was crying and everything, and we were sat here like "lol do they really expect us to believe Rick is dead?" and, lo and behold, he was hiding under an upturned boat or something. Absolutely ZERO drama or suspense.

Had that exact same feeling when Jaime was charging at the dragon, and then sinking into the water. Again no suspense; it was beyond obvious that he wouldn't die. People like Jon, Dany, Arya are "unkillable" for now.

That said, I feel like all bets are off next season as it's the last, they don't have to worry about annoying / upsetting loyal fans or people giving up on the show because "their fav" has died... Pretty much anyone could die in the final few episodes next season.

Though I did think Tormund was a goner when he was being pulled towards the ice. He's well liked enough to be an impactful death, but still basically a sidekick character who is expendable.
