Alright, Thrones fans, winter is officially here.

The eighth and final season of HBO's "Game of Thrones" began Sunday, April 14 and now that the Battle of Winterfell has come and gone and Cersei Lannister's wrath is upon us, expect to bid farewell to more and more of your favorite (and not-so-favorite) characters.

» POLL: What's the most evil thing Cersei Lannister has done (so far)?

Scroll down below for a list of big deaths so far. In the meantime...

Tell us who you think will definitely die next? And who will survive all the way through? Take the polls below.

Note that you can only select one death per episode and only one to survive ‘til the very end, but we’ll be updating the polls every week to reflect the inevitable losses.

Also, the polls do not consist of an exhaustive list of all the remaining characters, because, well, we don’t have time for that. But if we’re missing any big names, send a raven.

Deaths so far this season:

  • THE NIGHT KING
  • Theon :(
  • Ser Jorah :( :(
  • Lyanna Mormont :( :( :(
  • Dolorous Edd (or Eddison Tollett)
  • Beric Dondarrion (for good)
  • Melisandre!

  • MISSANDEIIIIII!!! (Cersei, why?)
  • Varys...
  • The Hound and the Mountain :(
  • CERSEI AND JAIME?!
