Jonesing For A Thronesing: Episode Three Thoughts And Episode Four Predictions (4/29)

YAAAS QUEEN! WE ARE FINALLY MOVING THIS PLOT ALONG!

I was very excited for this episode and it did not disappoint. I had a hard time seeing things – I am not sure if that was intentional or if the TV at my parent’s house doesn’t have the correct calibration.

Thoughts on Episode Three:

*Stormin’ Mormon =SM, Tommy Nuggets = TN, Buzz = B

SM:

• What the eff just happened?
• Night King went out quick 
• What army are they going to fight with in King’s Landing?
• For sure thought Ned Stark was going to pop out when Sansa and Tyrion were hiding behind his tomb.
• Sam and Gilly literally have no point for me anymore.
• No way in hell Sam should have survived.
• Arya is going to die now to inspire Jon and Sansa – she can’t kill both villains.
• Nine seasons of White Walkers ends on a sneak attack.
• Thought the Night King was going to kneel to Bran or something crazy.
• What have Bran’s powers really done for anyone at this point? Seems useless now.

TN:

• OMGOMGOMGOMGOGMGOGMGKHMOGOMYOYM
• Arya done F’d shit up hard.
• “What do you say when you look death in the face…” – she’s going to kill the Night King.
• Gendry disappeared that episode.
• Good job by GOT for tricking everyone over the last 8 seasons into thinking that the Night King and the Wight Army were more than a diversion to the real issue…Cercei.
• Mass carnage at Winterfell and nobody truly important died.
• Where did Bran send those Ravens???

B:

• The opening scene was awesome. You could feel the tension. When the Dothraki went off into the darkness and you saw their lights slowly disappear was incredible.
• I liked the idea of Theon going to protect Bran. However, it did not make sense to have archers guarding him on level ground in close range. They had a tree right there, maybe put archers in the tree?
• When the Night King showed up at the castle, and raised all of the dead in front of Jon, that was pretty epic.
• Theon attacking the Night King was a good way to show he got his “balls” back, but that was almost laughable to run at him from that far away with a spear.
• Is Theon not actually dead? “What is dead may never die, but rises again, harder and stronger”
• I was really surprised how many main characters survived this battle.
• It was awesome when Arya came jumping out of the darkness at the Night King, I said “Oh no!” out loud when he grabbed her neck, and I was relieved when she killed him.
• Rule of TV – something is only dead if you see it die. Dragons are fine.

Episode 4 Predictions

SM:

• Euron proposes.
• Other dragon not dead. (duh)
• Some army not part of the North comes to aid them.
• Bran wargs into someone in King’s Landing to get insider info.
• Deaths: Bron, Jamie, Podrick.

TN:

• Cercei killed by Jamie
• Jamie killed by the Mountain
• The Mountain killed by the Hound
• Daenarys will die eventually.
• Euron killed by Yara.
• Bron killed by Tyrion.
• Sansa and Tyrion (still married) become wardens of the North.
• Jon on the Iron Throne.
• Varys is Hand of the King.
• Arya and Gendry sail west together.
• Gery Worm and Missandre make it to Narth
• Brienne and Tormund get together!
• The Hound leaves to parts unknown.

B:

• We are going to have another set-up episode.
• All the main characters at Winterfell will re-group.
• Cercei and Euron will begin to plan their attack.
• We will not get an explanation from Bran about the Night King.
• Arya will kill Cersei by the end.
• No more Starks will die.
