'Game of Thrones' Season 8 preview: 5 GoT characters we really wish were alive for the season 8 finale

'Game of Thrones' has a knack for killing off some of their more likable characters just when fans are getting to know them
UPDATED FEB 18, 2019

How we pray for just one season to go by without having George R. R. Martin butchering his characters in the most gruesome manner, but that prayer would be for naught, as Martin himself says he does this to make fans understand that he wants "the reader to feel that no one is ever completely safe, not even the characters who seem to be the heroes."

Some of the characters we're introduced to have actually survived in the novels as compared to the live-action series, and it's about anybody's guess as to who Martin will kill off next. While we may not know who survives, what we do wish is that few of his characters should have made it to the very end, and we've compiled the following list in their memory.
