After Arya confesses that she’s a murderer now (which Jon ignores), she also gets on his case about his family duties. Finally, he thinks as they embrace, someone who’s not fighting with my girlfriend! But it turns out, that isn’t quite the case. Being a stoic male stereotype, he avoids it all by going for a solitary walk and running into his sister Arya. It doesn’t matter that Jon Snow’s girlfriend and sister are fighting. I’m just saying Winterfell could learn a little from Bravo and MTV reality shows. I’m not saying Game of Thrones needs to become Real World. If this were an episode of Real Housewives, Sansa and Daenerys would have gotten into it already. I’m not one to pit two incredibly amazing women against each other, but I thrive on the drama. “Whatever they want,” Daenerys replies, in an even, “Oh, this is how you want to do it?” tone. And what about the dragons? What do dragons even eat, Sansa not-so-politely asks. For example, she wants to know how Daenerys and Jon plan to keep the citizens of Winterfell fed when there are thousands more mouths to feed now. Sansa Stark, Lady of Winterfell, tells Daenerys, “Winterfell is yours” upon their arrival, but that doesn’t mean Sansa’s going to shut up and stand by. HBOĮven those on Winterfell’s main council, however, have their concerns with Daenerys. Lyanna Mormont at the Great Hall in Winterfell. He should adapt his best Tina Turner, and yell out to all those judging him, “What’s love got to do with it?” ( It, in this case, being the prevention of Winterfell falling.) Even when he tries to defend himself, it’s clear that riding into town beside Daenerys has lost him the respect of his black-clad countrymen and women. Lyanna Mormont, my new personal hero, eviscerates Jon in the Great Hall for leaving Winterfell as King in the North and returning as Daenerys’ arm candy. Jon Snow returns home to hugs from his sisters and an emotionless acknowledgment from Bran (who truly has become a case example in the ongoing study of whether sociopaths are a byproduct of nature or nurture), but that’s all. Varys may not be pleased with Tyrion’s constant taunting, but at least he’s not the only one in Winterfell working overtime to suppress a grimace. Is it because I’m perpetually 10 years old at heart? Probably. When asked why it’s acceptable for Tyrion to badger Varys but not the other way around, Tyrion responds, “Because I have balls and you don’t.” (+5) Look, I’m a sucker for a good balls joke. Tyrion opens the episode by poking fun at Varys for being a eunuch. It’s not exactly a warm welcome by any stretch of the imagination, but at least Tyrion and Varys have each other’s company - though perhaps that’s not as delightful as it seems. The premiere opens up with Daenerys, Jon Snow, her inner circle, and the impressive army she’s collected over the last few seasons riding into Winterfell. It’s better to treat this final season like a marathon, not a sprint. The season 8 premiere was a little lackluster when it came to the violent devastation we’re used to in Game of Thrones, but that’s okay. There shouldn’t be any wild surprises that leave us debating whether points should have been awarded. It was the equivalent a hot tub you ease yourself into until your body adjusts to the temperature. The season 8 premiere was fairly easy to score. (Or if they do, that you’re given the bonus points for memorable deaths.) Before we jump into the episode, here’s a reminder of how the score breakdown works and the changes we’ve made for the final season. It’s time to batten down the hatches, obsess over whether you got a worthy lineup, and pray to the Westerosi gods that your drafted characters don’t happen to cross paths with a couple of angry, hungry dragons. We’re baaaaaaaaack! The final session of our fantasy sports league Game of Game of Thrones, which is run by Fantasizr, is upon us.
