Battle of Winterfell
All the previous series heroes are ready to defend North from King's Armies of the Night. The third episode promised to devote the Battle of Winterfell. Said director Miguel Sapochnik, to give the audience "hardhome" and brutal "battle bastards."
budget series exceeded 15 million dollars, and we filmed the carnage at three different locations. Work on the episode took 55 days, during which time 750 people took part in the battle. For comparison: the shooting of "The Battle of bastards" took 25 days and attracted only 500 extras.
In the third episode of the eighth season of the series was the longest in history, it lasted 1 hour and 17 minutes. All this time it is dedicated to the battle - so that the series claims to be the longest battle in the history of cinema.
many deaths
Confrontation of this magnitude can not do without victims. In the second series of meetings took many warm and touching moments: which means that the line of many heroes over. The audience felt intimate conversations and gatherings around the fireplace a farewell.
According to forecasts, in the third series we had to die with Jaime Brienne, who was destined to be in the thick of things, as well as ready to sacrifice Theon Greyjoy and Jorah Mormont. However, it was not immune from the death of any one character - perhaps apart from Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen.
Disclosure of the secrets of the King of the Night
The whole series, we were wondering who controls the army of the dead and that he is motivated. Will King Night to deal with abuse, just wants to kill all or he needs something else? Or maybe Bran is the King of the Night? Now, when the leader of the white walkers will enter into an open confrontation with the people, his motivation must finally be clarified.
Arya battle with the King of the Night
Fans expectedThat befell the art of faceless daughter Stark uses his powers to Vihti under the pretext to get closer to their leader and kill him. Otherwise, why would she be specially ordered with a spear tip of the dragon's glass and so persistently questioned Dzhendri of the dead?
Jaime transformation in Azor moaning
Bran quite cold met John and sisters, but the "old friend" of the house Lannister waited at most of the castle gate. This gives reason to think about its special role, which is known to Bran.
According to the fans, Brienne appeal to Wicht after the death in battle, and her loving Jaime plunged his sword into her heart. After that, the blade becomes luminous, and its owner - Prince that was promised. Such a turn would allow Jaime to kill the King of the Night, and will give a new meaning to his nickname "Regicide» (Kingslayer).
Uprising dead Starks
When the promo of the third episode Daenerys said to John, "The dead are already here," many believed that she was not referring to Wicht at the walls of Winterfell, and Starks died that lie in the depths of the crypt.
In the first series of heroes emphasized dungeons safety and herded to all women and children. But it's "Game of Thrones", right? Danger can come from where we it do not wait. In addition, we remember running away in all haste Arya, who is saved by someone hidden in the darkness.

Contrary to fears, most of the key characters survived the terrible battle and be able to participate in the further struggle. We lost Ed Grieve and Berwick Dondarriona but Brienne, Jaime, and Gray Worm Tormund remained unharmed, although the threat of death hung more than once over them. Bran, Arya, dog and many other pets fans remained in the ranks.
Received very serious wounds Sam and not wished to remain in the crypt, and Jorah Mormont, until recently defended its Khalis Having closed eyelids and on her knees. But died there heroes, remains in question.
"We won a great war. It remains to win the last battle "
These words of the Queen of the Dragons of the fourth series of teaser given to understand that the audience will see more battle scenes. Giving up the battle with the dead, he acted dishonestly Cersei, but wisely. Walkers thinned army of northerners, and sister Lannister ready to engage in battle, defending the Iron Throne. Danny and John will have to gather all the strength to resist her mercenaries.
Compared with the King of Night Wicht and his attempts to win Cersei seem ridiculous, but let's not jump to conclusions: there is still a whole half of the season.
Applicants for the Iron Throne will open cards
Daenerys with great distrust accepted the words of John about his true origin and is unlikely to give up so easy to take up their rights notorious Iron throne. John himself, he is not particularly required, but when people get to know his real name, blood Targaryen heir may change their point of view.
I found out what he wanted the King of the Night
Objectives and motives of the dead leader have remained a mystery for the audience. But surely interchange left for dessert: In the next episode, we are likely to get an explanation of actions sinister character. Do not be surprised if they tell you about Bran, who knows everything.
Where is the story, we learn from the next episode, which will be released in a week - 6 May.
