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 actually think that's a reasonable theory. The whole plan is to lure the Night King into the Godswood - maybe it all goes to hell because he doesn't show up yet.
Bran and Tyrion

Have a long conversation, after that Tyrion says "maybe we'll win"...

I think the night king splitting his army may make sense, the mountain goes full zombie mode, the only way the hound can kill him is if he overcomes his fear and burns him...

I think the common held belief is that the night king battle is won before the battle for the iron throne. I’ve always felt the final battle will be for both.

This was a great episode to me, it had everything lasts weeks episode lacked. I loved every character dialogue, especially the fireplace room with David, Tormund and everyone.

I have a prediction one that I leaned towards awhile ago, but can see where it is heading now. Bran will be kidnapped by the Night King, I don’t know how they think the dead In The crypts won’t be reanimated, but it will lead to a huge blunder on there planning. They won’t be able to protect Bran and the Night King will take him on that Ice Dragon. I think this is what the three eyed raven meant when he said you will fly. Bran will warg into Viserion and fuck shit up against the dead saving many lives.

Bran has abilities similar to the Night King ( not in raising the dead but Incredible mage like powers, it’s about time we see what he is capable of).

Scene with Jorah and Lady Mormont ensures she will be dead, it serves no other purpose. Sam could have presented the sword to him any other way.

Hope Brienne lives, but many characters arcs make sense to end here. If Brienne dies it makes sense for Tormund to go with her, he wouldn’t have much to live for anymore. Haha. As much as I’d love to see them have monster babies in there future, this will end on a sadder note.

That is guaranteed to survive. All this talk about how smart he is, and how needed his knowledge is, and how he just survives...and way back in season five when a red priest was giving her sermon in front of a bunch of people, and just stared at Tyrion even though she hadn’t met him...something tells me he’s got a big role going forward.

Think this is as good a possibility as any. Imagine a general retreat by several key characters back to Kings Landing and Cersei ultimately In a three way battle ending out the series.

There needs to be a better understanding of who the Night King is for this series to make any sense and hold water.
I think Jaime kills the night king  
Eric on Li : 4/22/2019 1:02 am : link
it's a little on the nose with "kingslayer" but I don't think he came into this part of the story to just go out as solider #5 and he's one of the handful who we know has a valyrian weapon - his forged from the stark family sword no less. Brienne, Jorah, Jon, Arya, anyone else? Sure dragon glass or flame could also do it but I somehow think for the night king it's going to be an up close and personal end.

Agree with everyone that was a pretty great episode. Perfectly set up the next episode as a literal movie. A lot of familiar faces won't come out of it but hopefully the last couple episodes can still deliver a surprise or two nobody sees coming - like the S6 finale.

On the flip side it would be pretty funny if the night king wins the battle of winterfell, re-animates everyone, and marches on KL. Would be a real unexpected turn.

This episode was almost pure filler/tease, but I enjoyed it much more than the last because it had some of the character interactions I wanted (and expected) from the last one.

(On a side note, how f'ing stupid is it for John to tell Daenerys the truth right before the f'ing battle???)


True, but that I think that was pretty consistent with how he roles. Similar to his refusal to bend the knee to Cersai, instead informing her that he could not because he already pledged himself and the North to Dany.

Good question, they are notably absent. And considering their role in bringing characters back to life, you’d think they’d show up for the epic final good vs evil battle
Great episode  
pjcas18 : 4/22/2019 8:28 am : link
the only thing I didn't really like and it was more the central theme of the episode, is it seems a little hokey that all these people who had grievances/vengeance with each other get to sort it all out (to an extent) before facing death together. Very convenient.

Seems a little 12-step-ish to me.

but it's setting things up nicely for the ending. It really separates the good from the bad, if you believe people like Jaime and Tyrion are being forthright with their intentions.

I also felt like being in front of Dany gave Jaime the perfect opportunity to explain and set straight the kingslayer moniker. yes, he killed Aerys, but it was necessary to save millions of people, based on the wild fire onslaught Aerys was about to let loose (plus Aerys wanted Jaime to kill his own father).

Lastly, Dany is the product of incest. Her parents are brother and sister, so no idea why anyone expects her to react shockingly, or otherwise, when she learns there is a chance she has been sleeping with her nephew.

I have believed that to be the case for a long time. I think he ditches his army at Winter fell, they draw it in and the dragons burn it all down and the NK goes to where he has a million bodies to make an army out of.

My one question on this is whether he needs "winter" to be with him to survive. In other words, how will he make King's Landing cold? Maybe I'm making that up but its how its seemed so far. Very slow moving, methodical, and as they conquer winter spreads.

When Jamie was leaving KL in the s7 finale it was snowing there. So maybe it's cold enough now? I don't buy them diverting from Winterfell since they've built up so much prelude at this point, but I guess it wouldn't be completely shocking if the NK pulled his version of a whispering wood elsewhere - so there's a battle at WF but also something that happens elsewhere that's the true objective right now. It does stand up to some logic that he uses some of his force to pursue another objective and not spend his entire force at WF - though I suppose Bran would be clued in on that?

For example, with the whole discussion of 'the memory of man' last night, I wonder if that was foreshadowing an attack on the citadel or some other undefended part of the realm like that (just like Jamie's march on highgarden).

and battle imminent, can we be sure Littlefinger is not making a comeback?

Littlefinger and Tyrion are Martin's two favorite characters.

wouldn't be surprised with anything from either of them.

I know Melissandre still has to make an appearance this season, but I don't see an entry for Littlefinger in the final four.

I'm starting to think a semi-outlandish theory is Gendry/Arya are the main survivors and their child, a Stark/Baratheon, "inherits" the throne sort of bringing the story back full circle to when some people felt like Sansa/Joffrey would yield Stark/Baratheon children.

why else bring up the leeching and the red priestess other than to remind people Gendry has a claim to the throne (and to move on to Gendry's sexual experiences, but I think it could have been more than that).



I definitely think someone has been impersonating someone else

I don't see any way Littlefinger comes back. His story in the show diverted completely away from where it is in the novels. The showrunners seemed like they had no idea what to do with him after that so they just gradually started giving him less screen time and then killed him off the show. One of my biggest issues with the last couple of seasons is how they wasted such an interesting character.

Not bad. So everyone else dies, Arya gets pregnant because of last nights "romp", and this ends with them on the throne and the baby the heir. Great, looking forward to more Arya sex scenes (no, not really)
