Spoilers! Find Out Who Died on Sunday’s ‘Game of Thrones’
What is dead may never die, but trust: There’s been a whole lot of death on Game of Thrones. Like, remember when King Joffrey oozed a buncha orange liquid from all his orifices while being poisoned? Or when Ned Stark was beheaded? Or when literally all your faves were murdered in cold blood during the Red Wedding? Good times! Basically, about half the cast has died at this point-and chances are high that almost all of the remaining characters will be RIP by the time season 8 is over.
On that note, here’s the Game of Thrones death tracker you never asked for but desperately need in order to keep up with all the gruesome sh*t that is sure to come this season. This will be updated every single week because, to be quite honest, I have very little else going on. Although the fact that Game of Thrones is ending in a little over a month might legit put me on this list. Also, please keep in mind that:
