Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 2 Discussion *spoilers*

the episode leaked in Germany, so the internet was full of spoilers today...

 

I haven't seen first episode...Is it good?

 

I liked the first episode. Not a ton of actions, but some. The 2nd episode was devoid of action, but lots of characters interactions...

 

Oh my goodness last night's episode had me tearing up multiple times (Ser Brienne, anyone?). And to think that half of our beloved characters will probably die by the end of episode 3.....

 

Episode 2 - C´mon people! My spontaneous reaction is that they just kept us in suspense before the big war starts. So full of nothing really - I want more action than this!!! At least the dragons were in episode one...

 

I totally called the Arya / Gendry pairing! It's funny the actresses that play Sansa and Arya are less than a year apart in age (they were 11 and 12 when they started filming the first season), but everyone thinks of Arya as being so much younger.

I teared up when Brienne was knighted.

This was the first episode where Dany was a bit unlikeable for me. Of course, we don't know how the conversation between Jon and Dany would have ended.

I need to rewatch the episode. I had to pause it so many times because my little dude wanted attention that I feel like I missed some pieces .... for example, I don't recall a Ghost sighting, lol.

 

oh my...so much to say!!
I liked it, both episodes were necessary to try to close and connect the open arcs, they made 6 slow seasons, them 7 season was very fast, so now they needed to start slowly to have a 3rd episode of war.
yesterday was kinda bittersweet,cause now we know that many of those beloved characters are gonna die next weekend...

about Ghost: I didn't see him too, only when I noticed the buzz on twitter, I saw the screen shots of the moment and I was sad they didn't mention him on the show...there must be a reason for him still be alive!

about Arya: I was kinda shocked, not because her age, but like, I didn't see that coming! altough I was shipping the Gendry/Arya couple....if it wasn't GOT!

about Jonerys: well, Dany didn't like the option of not having the Iron Throne only for her, the new Targaryen wasn't well received... maybe the theories that she's evil are real??

*and what about theories, do you girls read them, or not? I'm reading a few on the last days...I'm going crazy with the possibilities, and finding possible hints on the episodes!

 

@Ferdy i totally read all the theories! I nerd out all week long checking to see if anything new is being posted

But I think I might have made a mistake by clicking on an article about Arya and Gendry’s sex scene...because now I am getting ads on my feeds for a local, shall we say, “dance club,” and I have definitely never been targeted as part of THAT demographic before

 

I'm getting nervous thinking about next weeks episode already... I am already practicing my "you can't kill him/her off!!" yells of disappointment.

We watched it with a few others (my sons friends, not my son who doesn't watch it...) and we all decided that Tormund is the best. You never have to wonder what he is thinking or what he is going to do - he just gets on and does it (although the whole giant story was a bit odd).

I think Theon will die defending Bran or one of the other Starks - he needs a redemption story.

 

@Christina W omg, that's funny...sorry but I laughed!!
and I'm totally geeky about the theories, even listening to a Brazilian podcast about it...

@KarenW Tormund was one of the great surprises for me...he changed so much from his first appearance , now I don't want to see if he's going to die...
I 'll do a bet with my fiancè, about the names of the ones who we'll say goodbye on the war...

 

@weaselwatchr I love when you post buzzfeed stuff on FB so I can read it and be a GOT freak too! LOL!!!

- on the last episode, there was a scene with Jon, Dany and Tyrion on winterfell's wall...and I was like: oh look, all 3 Targaryen reunite! lol
- also, I read that Arya will kill Cersei using Jaime's face...that could be a very strong end to the brothers! ohhh...I love those ideas and theories!
- this crypt will be something ...everyone was talking about how it was the safest place to be...not really!!
