Whose bright idea was it to make them run into the dark when they’re not winter folk? The scene spit on Khal Drogo’s grave. ![]() This is what happens when your group is not represented properly when battle plans are made the night before. The Dothraki were the very first victims of this episode. Many things didn’t make sense, and characters made very poor decisions. Be that as it may, being a loyal fan doesn’t mean we should not provide criticism when it’s due. It’s impossible to please everyone, and we should just be happy that we’re alive to witness such a great moment on television. Although it does give us with the greatest assembly of Game of Thrones characters ever, fitting farewells to the characters we’ve come to love since Day 1, and a sense of direction moving forward, I can’t help but feel that a very important part of the show was closed abruptly, leaving a lot of questions unanswered. The #Beardict: As the most ambitious episode/battle sequence Game of Thrones has released to date, The Long Night (Battle of Winterfell) tries to live up to the very high expectations through its non-stop action and suspense, but ultimately ends up lacking in storytelling. Blood pressures went up and friendships were lost (because of spoilers), but now we’re left with the question: Was it worth all the hype? I can’t speak for everyone, but… As soon as the Long Night (Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 3) finished, social media accounts were caught in a frenzy, posting (and virtually screaming) all sorts of reactions: from status messages without context, to memes, to downright spoilers. Catelyn then kidnapped Tyrion, jumpstarted the War of the Five Kings and the rest is dagger found its way back to Littlefinger, who gave it back to Bran, who in turn gave it to Arya, who then used it to train in that scene with Brienne.My Musings on Game of Thrones: The Long Night (Season 8, Episode 3)Īpril 29 was an intense day on social media. Even though Littlefinger claimed Tyrion had won it from him in a game, he was lying. Does this mean she’s been Azor Ahai all this time?Īs for the dagger, call it poetic justice or whatever you want to call it, but just a quick reminder: the dagger Arya has been carrying since season seven was used by the catspaw in season one to kill Bran Stark. episode 3 from Game of Thrones’ season 8 completely took a left turn here when Arya shoved the Valyrian steel dagger into the Night King’s chest. People even speculated whether if this meant that Jon would eventually have to kill Daenerys. Azor Ahai is said to be expected to be reborn and is destined to defeat the whitewalkers once the series, Melisandre says that “in the ancient books, it’s written that a warrior will draw a burning sword from the fire and that sword shall be Lightbringer.” She thought this was referring to Stannis Baratheon but later on, when she successfully brings Jon Snow back to life she says: “Stannis was not the prince who was promised but someone has to be.” That being said, many signs pointed to Azor Ahai being Jon Snow with Longclaw being Lightbringer. The legend says that about 5,000 years ago, Azor Ahai, a legendary warrior, forged the sword Lightbringer to end the Long Night (the episode where Whitewalkers last threatened mankind). What does this mean for all the prophecies of the show? There’s basically two main promises in the Game of Thrones universe, though neither of them are featured as heavily as they are in the source material, the book saga of A Song of Ice and Fire. That was until Arya surprisingly jumps from behind and manages to draw the Valyrian dagger through the Night King’s chest, ending the Great War once and for all. Prophecies are also tricky as hell, and Melisandre in particular hasn’t been particularly on point (Stannis a recap: after one of the most epic battles in the history of television, all of our favorite characters in Winterfell found themselves cornered: Daenerys and Jorah fighting wights in open field Brienne, Jaime, Tormund, Sam, Grey Worm buried in the courtyard fighting hordes of zombies, Jon dodging and ducking to avoid Vyserion’s fire until he decides to face him off Tyrion and Sansa in the crypts, surrounded by dead people coming to get them and Bran and the Night King face to face. Everything seems to go one way until it doesn’t. From Ned Stark’s execution, when everything was set for him to be pardoned, to the happy celebration at the Twins before the…ahem… wedding events, to Tyrion’s near-victory at his trial. Game of Thrones is a show that excels in misdirection.
