(We’ve got spoilers in here for “Game of Thrones” through season 8, episode 2)

We’re halfway through the final season of “Game of Thrones” now, and with the Night King and his army of the dead out of the way things are about to heat up majorly.

Right now it looks like the titular game of thrones is a two-person battle between Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) and Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey). But this being “Game of Thrones,” you can expect more than a few big twists in the final three episodes, with really any of the major remaining players — Jon Snow (Kit Harington), Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner), Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage), Euron Greyjoy (Pilou Asbaek) — to still have a shot at taking this thing.
