No, I completely agree that Martin doesn't seem to be killing off people so much as he doesn't save them via deus ex machina or something else along that line.
Dondarrion? Mystic god brings him back to life. I'll go back to the dirty book reader's thread now. |

If this is getting so predictable. Non-readers, name 3 people who will die next year.
On a question someone asked above, the books have even more foreshadowing, but it is more subtle, either because it is presented as a more cryptic prophecy or vision, or because it is mixed in with so much extra material it can often slide right by without you noticing until you come to thing being foreshadowed.

Why am I homeless? Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question.

Based on people that I like dropping like flies, I'm going to say Tyrion, Bron, and Arya. I know that's not right, but fuck this guy.

Three seems way too easy of a challenge given some of the ridiculously heavy-handed foreshadowing done in the last season. Two of them are such gimmes that I'm surprised they didn't just do them in the last episode and get them out of the way. |

Feel free to shoot for more than three.
Off the top of my head I can think of...
...characters due to die and a couple more where it depends how far they get.
That spoiler only contains a number.

What Martin does do wonderfully is create the illusion of that deus ex machina about to happen and make you buy it completely before yanking the rug from underneath you. Ned is gonna join the nightswatch and be reunited with Jon! nope, fuck you. Drogo is gonna get brought back by blood magic! nope, fuck you. Theon is gonna surrender and join the nightstwatch and tell Jon all about Bran and Rickon! nope, fuck you. Robb's plan is actually quite good he will surely turn things around! nope, fuck you. Catelyn has a hostage now, surely she will... nope. Cause fuck you. Yes, retroactively you can say all the deaths were coming, but you are lying if you say there wasn't always a good chance things were going to turn out well.

Only Ned should've brought that reaction, after that point you should know that no one is safe from their surroundings and circumstance.

Robb was fucked when he
A. killed karkstark
B. Accepted an invitation to lord freys castle....
I mean no way any good can happen there.
Drogo...err no...I mean anyone who thought dany's decision making wills save him was kidding him/herself
Theon no one liked him so his betrayal was hindsight 20/20 at that point.
Only Ned came as a surprise, considering how seneless and baseless his murder was. All the events leading up to it felt grimmy with your fucked but you didn't want to believe it because you really liked ned and then...he's fucked, and fucked again...can't be fucked a third time, nope perma fucked....

If the show was really determined to surprise and be more "realistic", I think stopping to have a conversation with your lover in the middle of a battle would be a good moment to get stabbed from behind.

Yeah, I was a bigger fan of the way the books did it.
