NFT: Game of Thrones season 8 episode 2

eli4life : 4/21/2019 8:43 am


Does John tell Dany she’s been doodling her nephew Aegon Targaryen?

The inquisition of Jammie Lannister who saves him? Bran? Brienne?

The continuation of the Sansa bitchfest 2019.

Tormund and company arrive at winterfell and let everyone know the shit is about to hit the fan.

Remember no matter where you are or what your doing he’s watching

I believe so to a little more action than just reunions then as the NK arrives the episode ends.
Next week

Is next week 100% the start of the war, and not tonight?

It has to be, this seasons battle scene is much larger than the battle of the bastards. There is no way they are fitting in Jaimes arrival, the setup, and the battle in 58 minutes. I think the episode will end with the arrival of the walkers at winterfell.
yeah  
Giantsfan79 : 4/21/2019 10:35 am : link
the HBO preview shows them saying the walkers will arrive before dawn tomorrow, implying this episode is the day before the battle.

Next week I suspect we’ll be looking for a breather lol. Kinda sucks knowing any number of them will be dead next week
I'm already nervous for next week.  
bceagle05 : 4/21/2019 10:05 pm : link
They sure made us love all the characters they're about to wipe out.
Both weeks were terrific  
MetsAreBack : 4/21/2019 10:05 pm : link
I think most had unrealistic expectations last week. I clocked the dragon ride last night - 1 minute, 50 seconds. I've read 1000s of dumber posts on here taking that long - I'm over it.

Next Sunday can't come fast enough
Loved the placement of aegon/Dany reveal  
eli4life : 4/21/2019 10:08 pm : link
And gendrya what’s not to love about that

My problem is this episode should have been last weeks. We didn’t need a full episode reunion, we aren’t stupid, we all know what happened last season. They could have hit the ground running and didn’t. It is what it is.
Guess I am in the minority again, but I felt like I was watching  
PatersonPlank : 4/21/2019 10:08 pm : link
the GOT version of As the World Turns. Everybody getting together in different groups for sentimental good byes. Most of this was sappy to me. I hope next week we get back to what made GOT great.
Tormund is a great character.  
bceagle05 : 4/21/2019 10:09 pm : link
He's probably a goner next week, but it was a great run.
I thought it was another throwaway episode  
Anakim : 4/21/2019 10:10 pm : link
But I think Dany is going to meet the same fate as her father. Power corrupted her and she's not going to relinquish it. I think Tyrion will be the queenslayer.

Meanwhile, I love Emilia Clark as a person, but she is an awful actress.
The Araya sex scene was just  
NBGblue : 4/21/2019 10:11 pm : link
uncomfortable and unnecessary.

LOL at Tormund still trying to get with Brienne. Also "The things I do for love".

Next week's episode should really move things along.
That was Ghost up on the ramparts, right?

Cmon. It's been a decade of watching these character arcs. They are building towards a climax next week - I appreciated the send off for so many of these characters. You can wait a week for blood and an Action Jackson movie.

Brienne being knighted assures her death for example. The crypts by the way is not going to be a safe place for these poor souls - first to die next week I'm guessing.
Sounded like Bran told Jamie he isn't gonna make it.  
bceagle05 : 4/21/2019 10:13 pm : link
Unless he was talking about himself.
Fans used  
PEEJ : 4/21/2019 10:15 pm : link
to trash "Sopranos" episodes too, if someone didn't get whacked
Yeah they're definitely foreshadowing a shitstorm in the crypts.  
bceagle05 : 4/21/2019 10:15 pm : link
Perhaps that's what Dany meant in the trailer for next week: "The dead are already here."

I liked Jon telling Dany who he is, and I liked the knighting of Brienne. Thats about it. I'll bet $1 that Brienne dies saving Jaime's life next episode.

I disagree about Arya with how many girls there first time is through rape she chose on her terms plus it shows she has finally reclaimed who she was.

And yes tormond should Knight Brienne many times lol
The greatest Game of Thrones seasons  
bceagle05 : 4/21/2019 10:20 pm : link
only had one huge battle, sometimes two. We're getting two huge battles this season, and each will take place in 80-90 minute episodes. There's always been a lot of "slow" episodes, and plenty of complaints about them. I think next week will be worth the wait.
Two episodes of soap opera  
montanagiant : 4/21/2019 10:22 pm : link
With only 4 episodes left.


Very underwhelming so far
Ugh  
Jay on the Island : 4/21/2019 10:22 pm : link
Next week is going to be a bloodbath. It’s depressing that there are only 4 episodes left.

PatersonPlank : 4/21/2019 10:23 pm : link
Its just this strike me as more "soap opera"-ish. I don't know why. Oh well, next week I bet we get back to things and all will be forgotten.

Both should have been 1 episode. Last week was fun because it was finally back, but it was a waste. This week should have been 80 minutes with 20 minutes of last episode tied into it.
I liked it.  
ZGiants98 : 4/21/2019 10:27 pm : link
We are all frothing at the mouth to find out what happens after at least a decade now (readers and tv watchers). I suspect when it’s all over this episode is looked back on even more fondly. But right now everyone is just impatient and dying to know what we’ve been building towards.

Went into thinking the Jon / Dany baby assumes the throne when this is over but maybe it now ends up Arya / Gendry kid. Though there were no deaths this episode im guessing vegas odds (which have been out there for months) moved a bit tonight.

They could have handled everything they wanted to get across in half of the last episode and used the rest of it for this slow ass episode.
I'm just very happy.  
Mike from SI : 4/21/2019 10:29 pm : link
Great episode!
I loved it. Yeah, some sentimental  
barens : 4/21/2019 10:30 pm : link
Moments, but also some very tense moments. Loved the scene with Dany and Sansa, didn’t see that coming toward the end of their conversation.

People complaining about these episodes being too sentimental, try sitting thru all of those seasons of the Walking Dead. That show has no idea how to get it right, GOT was right on the money for me.

I don’t agree at all. Sure, I want to know what happens next. But we don’t need two recap episodes, it was a giant waste. I really liked this episode but it didn’t push anything forward. They should have been combined, it was basically telling us what we already knew, but twice.
I agree - these 2 episodes could have been 1

Outside of a minute and a half dragon ride, last weeks episode wasn’t very wasteful. There are a massive amount of characters that all deserve their moments before the conclusion. 8 seasons now I wouldn’t want that part rushed. Yeah they were slow-ish but this episode particularly was fine. Again, once we know the conclusion I expect season 8 episode 2 to be looked back on as being even better.
The first 2 eps were solid  
Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 4/21/2019 10:36 pm : link
Nothing great but I liked them, and this one was better than the first episode. Great way to get some characters some calm screen time. Tormunds giant story was great.

These two eps were always going to be appetizers to the main course that will be these next 4 eps. Like I said I enjoyed the appetizers but I’m ready to eat for real. Can’t wait for this next month of epic tv.
Jon and Dany finding out  
ZGiants98 : 4/21/2019 10:37 pm : link
Jon’s a Targaryen each deserved its own moments.
I thought it was pretty awesome.

I loved it too those complaining saying all this should of been done last week I’d agree if it was a longer episode but it wasn’t so if they did that it would be like 20 seconds for each thing and people would bitch about that
By the way, Brienne getting knighted tells me
