What you missed in Game of Thrones episode two
So episode two has dropped and it served up some major last supper vibes.
SPOILERS lie ahead so leave now or forever hold your peace.
After a humdrum first episode, number two dialled it down on the CGI budget after that magic carpet scene, and dialled it up with some galloping developments.
So all our favourites got together for a last hurrah at Winterfell, the army of the dead come knocking in the morning, and these are the bits you need to revisit:
1. The big one
We find out Bran’s going to be used as bait to lure in the Night King because it turns out he’s the real target.
“He’ll come for me, he’s tried before with many three eyed ravens,” Bran tells the assembled war council. “He wants to erase this world and I am its memory.”
Ooft.
So there’s going to be a big showdown in the garden with the tree and hopefully Dany and Jon can swoop in in time with the dragons and save the day.
2. Tormund’s origin story
So in a heartwarming gathering around the fireplace, Tormund spills the beans on the most bananas origin story of all time in a bid to impress Brienne, and dear god if this wasn’t one to tell the grandkids.
“I killed a giant when I was ten. Then I climbed right into bed with his wife,” he says while skulling a horn of what we’re guessing is hard liquor.
Turns out Tormund was breastfed by this giant’s wife for months which is where he gets all of his strength. This is probably the greatest reveal of the series so far.
The general vibe was:
3. Brienne gets the knighthood she damn well deserves
Brienne finally gets knighted, and as the most badass character in this entire series and a lady in a man’s world, it was about bloody time.
This face was literally all I needed to see this episode and I can now let everyone die happy:
4. We got a sex scene… but it was kind of weird.
Arya got it on with Gendry as hurriedly hinted at last episode.
This one’s left us all a bit confused because although she’s 18 in season 8, she still feels like the little girl with the bow and arrow in season one and it’s kind of weird.
But also the world is ending so who can blame a girl?
5. Jon spills the beans
No incest love this episode – Jon finally broke the news to aunty/lover Dany that he’s actually the heir to the Iron Throne and her whole life’s mission is misguided.
She was pretty much like: ‘pfft no way.’
This look in her eyes, however, says everything: She’s NOT happy and she’s not the heir.
Hold onto your hearts everyone, but also don’t bother because next episode is about to come in and blow them to smithereens.
