Sansa - My *guess* is that she would end up "Queen of the North" unless she takes the throne (if there's a throne left to take). But either way her story seems unfinished to me. Since returning to Winterfell, she's been essentially the "hand" and a plotter, but not much else. Or, she dies.
Arya - The symbolism of her riding on the horse makes her "death". Maybe this is significant for a few reasons. Maybe she can't escape that she will be an assassin for life. The obvious angle is that she will kill Dany and then go on to star in a number of Marvel films. Or, she dies.
Bran - Did he already serve his purpose when he gave Arya the dagger and confirmed Jon's lineage? My mind runs wild with possibilities for this guy. Could have been the horse? Could he have warged into Drogon? Could he have warged into Dany? Will we discover that he manipulated many of the events of the show? My feeling is that you wouldn't describe Bran as a villain or antagonist, but as a neutral force serving a greater agenda. Or, he dies.
Jon - I would *like* to believe Melisandre that the Lord of Light resurrected him for a purpose. That purpose would seem not to be that he would rule the seven kingdoms. It would feel to me that once that purpose has been served, he dies (much like we saw with Beric). Killing TNK might have been the obvious path in that regard, but that didn't happen. Killing Dany seems the obvious path now. Or, he dies.
Tyrion - He seems destined to survive. Now that his siblings are gone, it's difficult to see his path going forward. He could become king, could kill Dany. He could marry Sansa and rule with her. He could ride away on a boat to a far away land. The vast majority of his motivating factors are resolved. He may be pissed off at Dany, but killing her doesn't seem like something he'd try to do. Or, he dies.
Dany - I found it interesting that you didn't see Dany's face much or at all once she decided to burn the innocents. Given that showing facial expressions seem so important to the show and we frequently would see Dany in previous times she was airborne, I wonder why they didn't just take the extra step and see her screaming with rage or cackling wickedly. Anyway, so she's Darth Targaryen now. She only has one episode to redeem herself. But at the speed this is going, she'll announce she's pregnant and give birth. Or, she dies.
Drogon - I figure he must be hungry. He got quite the workout. Or maybe he's the one that went mad.
Tormond - As time goes on, my hopes he will appear with Ghost are dwindling.
Gendry - Maybe he can use Podrick as his wingman, use his clout as Lord of Storm's End, and find a new Lady every night.
Podrick - He's going to catch some sort of VD if he's not careful.
Brienne - She goes where Sansa goes. Of course, she'll learn of Jaime's death and take it out on...oh right.
Davos - He gets really pissed when fire is used to burn innocents, so I'd imagine he'll get toasted when trying to take a swing at Dany.
Grey Worm - He dies defending Dany or otherwise as some tool to move the plot forward.
Yara - I guess she just lives on as leader of the Iron Islands. I mean, if Euron and Theon are dead, what's the point?
Bronn - Lannisters always pay their debts. Will Bronn come to collect?
Sam & Gilly - I guess out of the show at this point.
Jaqen - Could the Faceless man return? What role would he play? Is he going to reveal he's actually Syrio?
Who else?
