re: Game of Thrones S8 E1 "Winterfell" Official Thread

Hahahaha. I had too much wine during the show, so I failed a little with my words.

I enjoyed the episode. I’m approaching this season as a 6 part movie, not a series. Almost all those reunions had to happen now to get shite going. I maybe giving too much credit to the writers but I think this episode set up a lot of people to be caught off guard as the season goes on from what we are expecting based on the episode. The clues are there but we most likely won’t catch them or it will come out of nowhere.

As for some of the scenes most are hating on:

-I seem to be taking the Bronn scene in a different perspective than most. I don’t think Cersei believes for one second that he would actually go through with it even though he is a vocal mercenary. He risked his life to save both brothers and never received what was promised. He would have killed them already if it was about the gold. She made that offer with something else in mind. Just not sure what yet. She isn’t as dumb as most make her out to be.

-Hound/Arya reunion went perfect. He likes her more than anyone and it would suck if he went soft at that moment bc that’s not who he is. Arya understands that was his way of showing he is glad she is ok.

-Daenerys does needs to know when not to tell someone , whom she very much needs and appreciates, that she killed executed his family. She came to thank him but threw in that she went Mad King on his beloved brother.

-Sansa being a bitch to Tyrion pissed me off. He protected her and never did her wrong from what I remember. He looked out for her and didn’t even try and consummate the marriage he was forced to do. I think she is becoming more like Cersei.

**As for Jaime. As much as I love his story arc, I so want him to walk over to Bran and say “did you know I was about to do this?” Then put his sword through his forehead. Won’t happen though.

Bran is going to be huge this season, for many reasons, but especially for that. I think his abilities will help us unwind why the NK is doing this.

And with how the battle is episode three it’ll likely be next week

You can just tell that they have no idea what to do with Varys at this point.

Oh I think they know, but I'm not spouting theories because the spoilers are out and I don't need that shite again.

I think many speculate that Sansa takes on a dark purpose/sense of self. But that was a book reader theory.

Sam telling Jon that he's the rightful heir to the throne of the 7 kingdoms RIGHT AFTER Dany told him she "went all mad king on her brother (and father)"

I know Bran pushed him to do it... but that timing seems like Bran is trying to cause strife b/c he's now pissed at her

In the trailer. Was that sansa laying on the ground when she opened her eyes they were bright blue.

At most he can just provide knowledge to the characters capable who can fight and kill the WWs.

i thought it was pretty clear that sam was pushing jon as the rightful heir to the throne as a way to get back at dany. but that was just my interpretation

I’m heavily leaning that way as well.


Tyrion helps raise the kid and tries to teach him the ways to “break the wheel” like Tyrion and Varys talked about.


My heart wants Jon to live though, since I love his character so much.
