During that attempt, she experiences a vision that transports her to the throne room in King’s Landing, except the ceiling is destroyed and it’s snowing. It takes place at the end of Season 2, when Dany has to rescue her baby dragons from an evil wizard. The scene in question was recently resurfaced by redditor u/marisaann26. Warning: Possible spoilers for Game of Thrones Season 8 ahead. In short: Dany may get what she’s always wanted in the worst way possible. One vision in particular, which Daenerys Targaryen experiences in Season 2, may include a big spoiler about how the Mother of Dragons’ final showdown with the Night King could play out. But now that the end is upon is, it’s worth re-examining some of those weird Game of Thrones moments to see what they could reveal about Season 8.
But Tyrion’s faith in his queen was clearly shaken by her summary execution of the Tarlys back at the Field of Fire – and her foolhardy dash to the side of Jon Snow may have further eroded his confidence in her ability to bring stability to the Seven Kingdoms.Throughout the history of Game of Thrones there have been a handful of visions and prophecies that didn’t really make any sense at the time. This struck Daenerys as premature considering she hasn’t even conquered King’s Landing yet.īehind his diplomatic veneer, the imp’s true motives are impossible to discern. Will Daenerys be quite so understanding when word reaches her that the dragon has been brought back as a zombie? Is Tyrion reconsidering his alliance with the Mother of Dragons?Ī cuddly fire-side chat between the Queen and her Hand turned frosty as Tyrion wondered aloud who would continue Daenerys’ good work when she was gone. So smitten is Daenerys by her brooding new crush she, for her part, was willing to forgive his earlier suicide charge against the wights, a piece of dunder-headed bravado that presented the Night King with an opportunity to skewer Viserion. Who will be the victor – and what ghastly fate will the loser suffer? With Lord Baelish (Aidan Gillen) stirring the pot and Arya increasingly resembling a vengeful sociopath, this case of sisterly strife has a few twists left. But Sansa, survivor of King's Landing, marriage to Ramsay and Littlefinger’s pervy glares, didn’t wilt easily and wondered why Arya, likewise a witness to Ned’s beheading, had not herself done more. That was the lesson learned by Sansa (Sophie Turner) as her relationship with Arya (Maisie Williams) hit the rocks in earnest.Īrmed with the incriminating letter Sansa had written under duress as prisoner of the Lannisters, Arya accused the Lady of Winterfell of complicity in their father’s murder (if only she could have got to the point more quickly and spared us that monologue about archery practice). Never rifle through the satchel of a shape-shifting assassin – you’ll inevitably end up staring at the rubbery visage of the recently slain head of House Frey and wondering just who you are sharing a castle with. Nonetheless, as Drogon and chums dive-bombed the legions of the deceased, the dark delights of The Red Wedding and Ned Stark’s beheading never felt further away.įorget Dragons v The Night King – Sansa against Arya was the week’s truly epic struggle
GAME OF THRONES BEYOND THE WALL SPOILER FULL
As eye-ball searing extravaganza, Beyond the Wall unquestionably scored full marks (with bonus points for that incredible zombie bear). They arrived at the climax of a 70-minute penultimate episode that had more in common with Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings adaptations than with the dagger-in-the-back Game of Thrones of yore. Could we get back to the more juicy business of skulduggery, betrayal and over-sexed Machiavellianism?īut now the dragons were hot and bothered all over again. Some viewers will have felt that was quite enough fire and ashes for the moment. Just two episodes ago GoT treated us to a glimpse of the dragon apocalypse with Daenerys’ sortie against the Lannisters. Yet as Drogon and siblings blitzed the Night King’s minions, it was worth considering whether this was also the moment jaw-dropping spectacle tipped into empty bombast.
After years of teasing, with Beyond the Wall the HBO juggernaut finally made good on its implied promise to one day pitch flame-snorting dragons against ice zombies – to predictably breathtaking (and budget-busting) effect. The transition of Game of Thrones from gutter-dirty medieval caper to traditional fantasy epic is complete.
