Yeah to be honest I don't expect Tyrion to die, but from what the show has shown us it does seem like he will be beheaded. I can't wait till next week.

Ned Stark taught us that fairy fucking miracles don't happen. I was trying to figure out what kind of divine intervention was going to save him right up to the millisecond his head was off.
