Game of Thrones "Winterfell" 8.01 4/14/19

I think Sansa and Arya were playing at being at odds with each other to throw Baelish off. All the while Sansa and Arya were in cahoots and perfectly fine with each other. Sansa is not worried about Arya trying to become the Lady of Winterfell. Arya doesn’t want it at all anyway.

LOL. What? Ned Stark was dumb as a post. Jon is too. Tyrions plans have all gone to shit the last two years.

Littlefinger was a pyschopathic moron who should have quit when he held sway over about 35% of the seven kingdoms. Instead he thought he could just keep rebooting and eventually sit on the Iron Throne. And now he’s dead too.

Was Aryas statement about Sansa true? I can see it from her POV. She survived. Also Arya is going to stick up for her sister after years of underestimating her big sister.

They did it in private several times. It was bs for the camera.

Bruce Wayne, Euron killed two of the three sandsnakes in episode 1 of season 7. The third was murdered by Cersei in a dungeon beneath the Red Keep.

Jamie and Bran were the last scene of the first episode of the first season so it makes a nice symmetry.

What possible good could Jamie imagine would come from showing up at Winterfell without an army to support the fight? He knows that most important people there have a reason to mistrust and hate him.

His ‘honor’ demands he show up and at least give the bad news and to ‘die fighting for the living’.

And I think that is how it will play out. It’s kind of a fake tension moment for us because Bran hardly identifies as the same Bran that got thrown out of the tower anymore.

I thought the boy climbing the tree to see the approaching Queen was a nice callback to Bran and Arya climbing things to watch Robert approach Winterfell in the pilot.

There are a few times in the show where it is noted these were good men but dumb men.

Indeed we get it at the end of season 7 where Cersei asks Jon to sit things out in Winterfell after the White Walkers are dealt with and Jon says he has pledged his allegiance to Danni so no can do.

After that pretty much everyone, including Danni, tells him he is noble to adhere to his ideals but he is an idiot who really needs to learn when to lie.

Jon ignores them all and insists his way is the right way.

I dunnoooo. Like i said earlier. He’s more assertive this season. You might be right that he doesn’t even bother to let anyone know and all the tension comes from Dany being pissed about the Lannisters no-showing. Tyrion sure looks genuinely worried for Jaime next ep.

Got Jon killed too.

But i do love me some Jon Snow. He’s my pool choice for winning GoT.

What was Cersei scheming about at the end there? Is she thinking marrying Euron would make a good cover for having Jamie and her’s kid?

Jon (and Ned) need a realpolitik guru as a hand. Season 2-4 Tyrion or Varys before the writing made them dumb.

Hampshire,That was my interpretation.

Also, Bronn getting the crossbow: at least one of Jaime or Tyrion survive? Or does Bronn use it on Cersei?

My money is on Gendry as a long shot.

Cersei told Jamie she will tell everyone the child is the product of her and Jamie. Cersei, now having power, has decided she has no need to hide anything.

My guess is she is playing Euron. Her pregnancy would be obvious soon enough and if she had not had sex with Euron he will know the child is not his and be very pissed off.

By having sex with him Euron will assume her child is his and she will doubtless let him think that to keep him working for her.

I saw an interview with Kit Harrington (aka Jon Snow) and he said his wife, Rose Leslie (who played Ygritte in GoT and was Jon Snow’s lover), guessed at all the possible endings she could think of and he said she did not guess what actually happens in the show.

So, Gendry is probably not the winner. Neither is Jon or Danni or Cersei.

I dunno…looking forward to finding out.

I LOLd at the dragon glaring at Jon.

Still can’t figure out if Arya and The Hound love or hate each other.

I think Arya was asking Gendry to forge her an axe like weapon with dragon glass.

I liked the epaulets on Cersei’s costume.

I have a group that comes over to watch it and the dragon watching Jon and Danni getting busy had everyone chuckling.

Arya and the Hound have a mutual respect. She wants to hate him but he was just good enough to her that she can’t bring herself to kill him. He sees a strength in her that he respects.

Remember when he begged her to kill him and she just stared at him for a while. She was on the fence to kill or not kill him so she just left.

I think at some point Jon will end up in a big fire. When he emerges unscathed Dany will know. Maybe she orders him into the fire to find out.

I think it was funny because anyone with a dog or cat that has sat there and watched their human having sex gets that look.
