April 22 came the second series of the final season of "Game of Thrones."

What we are waiting for viewers

More speakers

The first series was a need for "swing" - it brought all the characters together and recalled the alignment of forces. Battles and spectacular scenes were not there - except a few arrows whistled during the liberation of Yara Greyjoy from captivity.

Apparently, it is best to Theon Greyjoy manages to act in stealth mode - in fact he was able to get almost imperceptibly to the flagship of the Iron Fleet, which contained important prisoner. But there is a more prosaic explanation: the creators decided to save on the first episode of sending the budget for future big battles. From the second series we were expecting, if not start the battle (it is already known

Kiderült, hogy a 8. évad melyik részében lesz a Trónok harca eddigi legnagyobb csatája, Occupy the entire third episode), then at least gain dynamic action.

Showdown between Targaryen

In Daenerys and Jon Snow, which can now be called Eygonom Targaryen, there was a conflict of interest. After all, the iron throne may sit only someone alone, but Daenerys does not look like a man who knows how to yield. In addition, in the first episode, John does not have time to react to the fact that they are the dragon queen of close relatives.

An important detail: at the Snow now also have the opportunity to influence the flying lizards. Dragon Reyegal acknowledged that the Targaryen, even earlier than the newfound Eygon he learned about it. This means that in case of a quarrel John and Denis can share "children".

The trial of Jaime

At the end of the first episode of Jamie came to Winterfell, where he was not pleased no one, except, perhaps, his brother Tyrion. Jaime called Regicide not just - we recall that he took the life of Daenerys's father, the mad king Eygona Targaryen. And so it is in the eyes of Daenerys - one of the usurpers and the obvious candidate to be burned in the flames of a dragon.

So one would expect that Jaime will face the queen and the northern lords to the court, and someone will make a speech in his defense. For example, Tyrion - his speech on its own court in King's Landing has become one of the highlights of the 4th season, and a benefit of Peter Dinklage. So what could be hopeJamie still forgive his past sins and to Targaryen, and before Stark.

Despite the fact that Daenerys is very hard to start talking about the fate of Jaime, that still handed weapon and allowed to fight with them. Tirion's speech was not particularly bright, but Jamie stood up Brienne Tart.

Jaime always I tried to do what was right in believing that the end justifies the means. This is its main difference from Cersei, which is guided by personal interests. For example, the murder of a mad king seemed to him a good deed for the benefit of the state, although many felt dishonest method, because Jaime butted an opponent in the back.

Now the hero will unite with former enemies and fight against the King of the Night - in order to win the living world.

Even with dragon valiriyskoy glass and steel, which are effective against the dead, people are still not sure of their victory. John suggests that it is necessary to kill the King of the night to the dead lost their leadership. This is a classic move for stories in which the heroes do not win in open opposition - someone has to destroy ring or blow up the Death Star. At the council decided that the draw for the leader of the Dead is Bran.

The King of the Night feels, where the three-eyed raven, and goes to him. By the way, he sought and previous holders of the "title." We can assume that the leader is not associated with the dead Bran Stark himself, and with a figure of three-eyed Raven - among them notably the long-standing confrontation. According to Bran, King wants to "endless night" to "delete this world" because Raven - his memory. Perhaps the King of Night just wants to really die and find peace.

Before the fight everybody wants to love

Against the backdrop of looming death of many of the characters gave vent to feelings. Arya briefly forgot about the god of death in the arms of Dzhendri. Gray Worm and Missandeya hope to go together in the Naat island after the war - I think they are the only ones who do make plans.

Between Jaime and Brienne still noticeable affection. Maybe it was the thought of Brienne pushed the hero to travel to the North. At the same time Tormund, who came to the castle of the last pockets and the second series in a row is the only source of humor, too, uneven breathing to the "great woman".

Saens Theon and gently hug when they met, and then spend time together over dinner. Could they be a future together if Theon survives the battle? As a proven track record of the Gray Worm and Missandei whose love scene blew up the Internet last year, no injury to feelings is not a hindrance.

Brienne became a knight

Brienne old dream come true. The Knights of its dedicated Jaime, and this is perhaps one of the most dramatic moments of the series. Everything else, Tormund who genuinely puzzled why the woman at the "poklonschikov" (those who live south of the walls) can not be a knight, was the main local feminist.

The series showed only Winterfell - Royal Harbor in the episode was not included at all. While military operations have not begun, but the relationship deepened the characters and suspense grows.

To discharge the atmosphere in the course are different methods. Read, for example, quotes from "The Lord of the Rings", where even before the battle arming children and the elderly. In Winterfell even girls and ordinary people, not to keep weapons ready to fight, and yet it is the singing Podrika - an obvious homage Pippin's song before the battle of Gondor.

Funny moments a little, but they are. The last time memetichnymi steel watching dragon Bran and that the entire series sat in the yard and a strange look looked at all the other characters.

Who may die in the next series

The battle - it's a lot of feats, and many deaths. In the third series, the viewer expects a truly epic battle, and it is likely that many do not survive. Here are a few theories as to who may die before reaching the final.

Jaime Lannister

Once he spoke of armor that he wanted to die in the arms of the woman he loved. Perhaps he will die at the hands of Brienne. On the other hand, before he can get himself armor, which is expected to move to the North with a crossbow at the ready.

Dog

In talking with Arya shows that the dog has rethought many things in life - the first time he is fighting for the sake of some goal. So, he can die heroically defending Arya. Not for nothing in the trailer showed the girl running in terror through the dark corridors - the heroine gets into trouble and will need someone who will save it. On the other hand, the Dog has yet to come together in a fight with his brother, the Mountain (or rather, the monster, which he began), so that until the character dies you can not.

Berwick Dondarrion

Toros of the world, thanks to the magic that is the Lord of Light repeatedly raised Berwick, is no longer alive. So now there is nobody to return to Berwick. In the books through the power of "Kiss of Fire", he raised Catelyn Stark. It is possible that before fallBerwick provernot this trick with someone dying from Winterfell's defenders.

Jorah Mormont

Sam Turley gave Dzhorahu his sword valiriyskoy steel pomyanuv kind words of his father, the former Lord Commander of the Night Watch. Dzhoraha now have a powerful weapon, which means that he will have something heroic. It would not have had to pay for it with their lives.

Theon Greyjoy

Greyjoy Theon returned to Winterfell with a detachment zheleznorozhdonnyh and volunteered to defend the Bran when he comes for the King of the Night. In Theon's complex relationship with the North - he lived here with Stark being a prisoner is not, is not a family member, and then took the castle as an invader. Now he's trying to redeem himself and possibly do it at the cost of life.

With regard to the Targaryen and Tyrion, they, apparently, yet to live - if Winterfell falls (as it should be expected, according to the trailer), Together they will retreat to the south.

Where the plot moving, we learn from the following episodeWhich will be released in a week - 29 April.
