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.
