What happened in the first episode of the eighth season

Locations - fewer parts - more

Usually in the intro of the series show the places that play a key role in a series, or season. The opening theme of the first series showed destroyed walls and the way the King's Armies of the Night, the last pockets (House of Amber) and Winterfell with chardrevom and family vault. Then we see King's Landing to the Iron Throne. Decreased number of locations - saver, plunging into the details, it makes it clear that the show focused on the home and went to the finish line.

Daenerys are not welcome in the North

At the beginning of the series Daenerys Targaryen together with his army comes into the possession of John Starks in Snow company. Dragon Queen do not like sisters Stark. Subsequently, between John and Sanz tense conversation takes place, during which Saens asks why he knelt before Daenerys - for the North or for love?

In general, the northerners are outsiders with suspicion and angry that John, whom they had chosen the king of the North, was sworn Daenerys. It turns on a big military council. They also resent the fact that to move him Lannister army. However, John is sure that to fight an army of the dead need all the military assistance.

Starkey and John reunited

Faced with Branagh, John told him that he had grown up and become a man. However, he did not escape from that Bran has changed dramatically thanks to the power of three-eyed Raven. Meeting with John Arya chardreva have been warmer. Arya showed John needle - blade, which he once gave her - and when asked if she ever use it, said evasively: "A couple of times." John gave her the look on his sword from steel valiriyskoy - Long Claw.

Euron led Sears army

Greyjoy Euron returned to King's Landing with an army of Essosa - Golden Swords mercenaries under the command of Captain Harry Strickland. Sears had to fulfill a promise to share a bed with Euronom, which has long sought it. As it turned out, as shown trailer Queen's sadness over the cup was not because of the sad news of Jaime. Eurona just words that he might be the father of her child, forced Sears pursed her lips - she was already pregnant by her brother.

Cersei wants to kill Jaime and Tyrion

Apparently, after the departure of Jaime Cersei heart completely hardened. She sent Kviberna Armor Blackwater proposal. Mercenary got a generous advance in gold to the one dealt with the "brothers-traitors" in the North. Kvibern extends Blackwater crossbow and recalls that Cersei, as well as all the Lannisters, paying debts. Now Armor is an occasion to reflect.

Theon saved Yar

While Euron was busy, Theon Greyjoy got on the ship, which was sharpened his sister Yara, and released her. Weighed brother strong cuff for showing cowardice before (Theon ran away and left her), Yara holds out his hand. Later, Theon is willing to support her in the struggle for the Iron Islands. At the same time, in his heart he wants to fight with Starkey to atone for what took their castle, so that my sister lets him in Winterfell.

John saddled Dragon and revealed the secret of his birth

John Snow was able to get on the dragon, and made its first flight, proving that
most targarienskoe their origin. In his review, it was much more fun than jumping on a horse. Later, in the crypt of Winterfell Sam tells John that his mother - Lianna Stark and his father - Reygar Targaryen: "You're not the king of the North, and the king of the Seven Kingdoms."

Night King left a message

Tormund, Mournful Edd and Berwick Dondarrion are left King Night terrible message. Here, the audience finally waiting for real horror: See heroes torn child, surrounded by pieces of other people's hands. By the way, this symbol has appeared on the show.

Storylines intertwine one

The whole series is dedicated to the heroes of the relationship and to prepare for large-scale events in the following episodes. Most of the characters gathered in Winterfell or moves there.

Arya met Dzhendri and obvious sympathy arose between them. In addition, the castle came dog, which Arya excluded from the list of people who are going to kill. They parted not on the best note, but the dog clearly feels for the girl respect. Also showed Sansa conversation with Tirion. They communicate cold, but without any particular hostility: still in King's Landing Tyrion cost the heroine with respect to the gentleman. And in the series finale in Winterfell appears Jaime Lannister and sees Branagh, who was once thrown out of the window, making a cripple.

Thus, one of the key characters should not perish, but considering what threat comes from the destruction of the walls, it is best to remember that the Valar Morgulis ( "all men are mortal").

What will happen next

Winterfell prepare for battle

In the 8th season is declared the most dramatic and the biggest battle of all showWhich starred 55 nights. The creators sayThe end of Game of Thrones: An exclusive report on the epic final seasonThat it will contain some POV - points of view of different characters. Actor Vladimir Furdik that since 2015 plays the role of the King of the Night, said that the battle will take all of the third episode. In his opinionKiderült, hogy a 8. évad melyik részében lesz a Trónok harca eddigi legnagyobb csatájaIt will be the most ambitious battle scene on television. Apparently, we are talking about the Battle of Winterfell.

This means that in the second episode of the castle will be prepared for the event. Take up arms all. For example, Sam Turley, who has not really used his father's sword, destroyer of hearts. But for Sam, you can worry a little less than others, according to the theory that he - the narrator of this story, which is to write the book "The Song of Ice and Fire."

character lines continue to connect

In Winterfell arrive Theon Greyjoy. He will meet with Sanz, whom he had saved, but also with Arya and Bran. If Bran far from worldly affairs, then an irreconcilable Arya is likely to hate Theon for his betrayal. To earn the forgiveness of northerners, Theon need to do something truly heroic.

If the armor will offer the Queen, he will have to go to the North to avenge Jaime and Tyrion. And this despite the fact that Blackwater with each of them tied a kind of friendship. On the other hand, the reservation has never concealed that he was a mercenary and is the one who pays. Did he try to shoot in cold blood brothers? However, in Winterfell Bronn cater to such an icy hell, he probably will not be up to the task Cersei.

It reveals the secrets of the King of the Night

Before the dead leader of the army did not try to communicate with people, but now he has left a sinister character. Maybe it's some kind of message? The King of the Night does not just want to destroy all life - in the wordsThe Night King speaks: Game of Thrones actor gives rare interview Vladimir Furdika, this character has his own motivation and goal that we learn in the final season.

Recall that, according to popular fan theoryKing of the Night - Bran Stark is caught in a time loop because of his "astral travel".
