Hey guys. I know this could be discussed on the promo thread, but I'm kind of close to a heart attack here, and decided to create a new one. So, after being denied Lady Stoneheart, Victarion and Moqorro, and seeing Barristan dying, I'm really afraid the show mighr ditch Olenna as well. I know it is soon to say, but it seems Cersei and Littlefinger are forging an alliance there, and being against Littlefinger usually means you will lose in the show. Olenna is possibly my favorite character who is still alive on the show, does anybody else think D&D might kill her this season, maybe along with her grandchildren and Mace, in order to rush into the Tyrell downfall?
Sorry if you feel this thread is useless

Not useless at all.
I don't really think Littlefinger and Cersei are allying. I see it as more of an temporilarily teaming-up which results in Loras' execution and Margaery's arrest.
I don't think they will kill Olenna this season. She will be one of the judges in Cersei's trial next season.

I can never keep straight what we actually know vs. what we assume will happen based on tips and clues pointing us in a certain direction. |

I think Olenna will be safe, I agree with others that she'll probably be a judge at Cersei's trial. Loras though, he's probably a goner.

The Queen of Thorns still has a lot of usefulness left in the story and they have such a great actress for the role, they're going to want to ride that bandwagon as long as they can if they're smart. Now whatever outcome happens after the dust settles from all the trials and such is anybody's guess but I imagine there will come a time when her usefulness is no longer needed but why kill her off. Not every character has to die when no longer in the story, some just row off into the distance never to be heard from again haha.  |

I doubt it - D&D seem to like Olenna (and Diana Rigg) so much that they have expanded her role quite significantly, so I don't think she'll be leaving quite so soon.

They need someone smart to represent house Tyrell in the upcoming seasons. D&D love that character and I think that she will have a huge role in KL next season.

With Randyll Tarly on the horizon, the Tyrells aren't going down quickly without a fight.

I think House Tyrell is in for a major fall in the books after surviving better than their rivals for so long, but I don't think D&D would dare cut Diana Rigg before they had to when they clearly enjoy making use of her on the show.
But what do I know? I still hope the Seven can spare Loras through trial by combat, I've been watching the Mad Men marathon this week instead of keeping up with all the latest tidbits here.

I'm not too worried about her. I feel like even if she were killed off she'd meet her murder with annoyance.

Showing downright disdain for her assassin. That said, I very much hope she survives another season (hell, until the end). |

Olenna's survival is paramount to their plot. She'll probably survive until next season at the very least. I'm betting Mace will survive his rendez-vous in Braavos. Loras's marked though.

I think you're right about Loras, which will break my heart. I don't particularly like their portrayal of him on the show (having no character traits other than "gay" since season 2), but if he ends up getting executed by religious zealots for being gay... urgh  |

I hate how Show Loras is portrayed, but if he does get executed for being gay... That will be awful. Even worse than that. Imagine if the demands a trial by combat and gets slaughtered by Evil Lancel. I don't know what I would think about that. |

I don't think he dies this episode, but I think he'll die in episode 8, if only to up the stakes for Cersei to accept the WOS. I hate his portrayal, but |

I think Varys might kill her at the end of the season. It seems likely that she'll be the one running Kings Landing at that point, not Kevan. It would be a sad scene, since Varys and Olenna did actually like each other. And Olenna's death would deliver the book 5 epilogue gut-punch in a way that Kevan's death never could.
But since they bothered to re-introduce Kevan, that probably means Olenna is safe for now.
