That dragon sequence was a straight-up Flight of the Hippogriff moment if ever I saw one. Is Game of Thrones turning into Harry Potter? Maybe the better question is, why is Sansa the only smart person on this show now? She drank the wine! She is obviously playing everyone. Of course she is faking this pregnancy in order to keep her brothers on her side. Is their being related going to not be a big deal?Īt this point, it’s probably their smallest problem. Besides, he’s probably not going to be down for the smooching now, and something tells me Dany’s going to want him to explain why. But is there ever going to be a convenient time to tell your lover/aunt that hey, actually, you’re the rightful heir to the Throne? No. So: how is Jon going to break it to her? He’s going to have to, right? After all, he’s an honorable man and he’s not one to lie. And he seems … very thrown by it - even more so than by the fact that he’s been banging and nuzzling on his pledged-to queen and lover/aunt. Welp, Jon Snow finally knows something: that he is Aegon Targaryen, rightful king of the Seven Kingdoms.

But it’s just one of many motivations that could be argued after the season-eight premiere, so expect whatever the Night King wants or needs to be unexpected, and maybe even humanizing. Was the Prince That Was Promised, a.k.a Azor Ahai, meant to take over for the Night King? Was the OG Night King, in fact, a Stark-Targaryen like Jon Snow? Some fans on Reddit seem to think so, and it’s certainly a compellingly devastating option … especially if it means that to win the game of thrones, Jon Snow must end up dead on an ice throne to protect the land of the living (but hey, maybe that’s just me). So what does the Night King want? Maybe to end the cycle, or-as Dany put it-break the wheel?

Book readers and TV viewers alike are very much in the dark about what it all means. Notice that little circle next to the three people in the front? That is very likely the Isle of Faces, an island in the middle of the God’s Eye lake where the Children of the Forest and the First Men signed the pact that would end The Long Night.

And now we’ve got the image of a wee baby Umber surrounded by a bunch of burned-up arms that matches imagery we’ve seen throughout the series - from the moment the Night King was born to the Battle of the Bastards and beyond - even on the walls of the dragonglass caves on Dragonstone. Since the beginning of the series, circle imagery has cast a long shadow: from that first cold open in the pilot with the arrangement of dead bodies, to the others beyond The Wall and in Bran’s visions, down to the carvings in the dragonglass caves from the Children of the Forest. South of The Wall but north of Winterfell, the location isn’t all that significant, save for the part where its young lord was used to send a grisly message to the land of the living. In the series’ new opening credits, we’re introduced to an area we’ve not yet seen on the show: the Last Hearth, the northernmost castle in the realm that isn’t a part of The Wall, and home of Stark bannermen House Umber. will hopefully answer when we return to the realm next Sunday. But before we get answers to the “Westerosi Avengers: Endgame” question, we’ve got 15 other little ones Bran and Co. In the season-eight premiere “Winterfell,” we got a lot of answers to a lot of major questions, and we now know where pretty much everyone stands heading into The Great War/The Longest Night/The Most Hyped Battle In The History Of TV. Game of Thrones is not holding back heading into the final five episodes of the series.
