Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 2

My personal review of episode 2! Beware of Spoilers under the cut!!!

OH. MY. GOD.

This episode was just AMAZING.

I loved the new reunions and how they went further in depths with them.

The episode was funny, yet also a bit tragic knowing that with the battle of Winterfell approaching, many of my favs will die.

I absolutely ADORED Jaime this episode!! He really had a great character development. It was nice how he apologised to Bran and their little talk there. Also Bran? “How do you know there is an afterwards?” Jaime looked so shocked😂

His reunion with Tyrion? Awesome

How he got distracted after spotting Brienne?

I swear, he walked around like a love sick fool and it was adorable. He almost choked on his drink just to greet Brienne! Also him knighting Brienne later?? I cried tears of joy! She was so genuinely happy and I was happy for her!! Brienne deserved this!

Speaking of that scene, poor Tormund trying to get Brienne’s attention with those weird flexes😂 “If I was a king, I’d knight you ten times over”

Ahhh that circle of theirs at the hearth was just great!

Also, who’d have thunk that Podrick was such a good singer? He was amazing! And the song? It was nice and tragic and beautiful! They did a really good job!

Gendry and Arya this episode. I never thought we would get them to be together like that, but here we are! I was screaming so much during that scene!

Robert would be so happy knowing that at last house Baratheon and house Stark will (hopefully and probably be able to) join their houses together (if they survive that is)(what I really fucking hope btw).

Now if someone would FINALLY legitimate Gendry please-😂

Also Arya talking with the Hound! I was waiting for them to have a real talk together😂 But her going away shortly after Beric arrived hahaha “A girl is not spending her last hours with two miserable shits”

On a side note, Tormund was just amazing this season thus far and one of the funniest people😂😂 Also how he tackled Jon when he walked towards Edd?? “My little crow” if I didn’t know any better, I would think he has a tiny crush on Jon😂😂

Speaking of Jon now, I am glad he finally told Deanerys, although he should have found a better timing (a.k.a telling her MUCH SOONER) and not right now before battle. Especially because he is the last male heir to the Targaryen line and his death would be quite significant. Although, had they known sooner, it could have been a distraction for the battle to come. (though, I doubt that because there were multiple people working and Sansa was pretty much leading them while Jon tired getting his thoughts together and Daenerys doing nothing except standing around)

SPEAKING OF SANSA.

She was as always amazing!

Sansa talking with Dany was cool, especially when she was like “What about the North? We swore to never bend again” because fuck yes girl!

What was also amazing was when Theon arrived (my bby) I was so happy to see him again and ahhh “I came to fight for Winterfell, if you will have me Lady Sansa” ahhh it was so cute also Daenerys seemed almost shocked seeing that Theon a.k.a one of the last Greyjoys who fight for her, be so familiar and devoted to Sansa who doesn’t bend the knee to Daenerys.

Seriously, if something should happen, I can see Theon ending up siding with Sansa rather than Daenerys because they’ve known each other for eternity and also because now that Jon is officially a Targaryen, her claim to the Iron Throne gets weaker if it doesn’t vanish at all.

Also Theon talking with Bran and telling him that he will protect him?! I was so happy to see that. I was worried that those two would not have a chance to say at least one thing to each other on screen. I am glad that this little line was Theon trying to make good on what he has done (even tho I still believe that he has paid enough already for what he has done at the hands of Ramsay).

Oh yeah, also HOW COULD THEY HURT ME LIKE THIS BY LETTING DAVOS INTERACT WITH A LITTLE GIRL REMINDING HIM OF SHIREEN?

I was crying a little to be honest😂 They even played Shireen’s theme as the girl talked to Davos, and Davos was absolutely sad. You could just see how shocked he was, and that he really saw Shireen in her. He was completely speechless when he saw her and didn’t know what to say at first.

Poor Missandei trying to bond with the Northerners and they just ignore her. At least she has Greyworm at her side! I am weeping because I’m thinking about their doom

Also not gonna lie, I was disappointed that Sam didn’t step in when Dany said everything about how “The man who killed our father was going to pay” and told her “Well, you can join him then"😂😂 I am glad tho that Jaime was dismissed then because Brienne saved him and Sansa trusts her.

If Daenerys had dared to do anything to Jaime, I don’t think I would have survived that to be honest.

Speaking of confrontations.

LYANNA MORMONT AND JORAH FINALLY TALKING!

I was really happy to see them and was worried here as well, that we wouldn’t get a meeting between them! Lyanna was amazing, as always, too, when she just “I wish you good fortune cousin” and then walked away. Jorah seemed kinda happy?😂 She was a true Mormont, stubborn and demanding to fight for her homeland and not even Jorah could stop her hahaha.

Writing this, I just noticed that we didn’t hear anything about Cersei, but to be honest, I didn’t really mind because the battle of Winterfell is on upon them and we could have almost a full hour of the Adventures in Winterfell.

I think I’ve said everything?

If not, I will definitely add my thoughts because this Episode might just be my favourite as I said before!

I am sad as well though because after all this calm before the storm, we have many of the characters we have grown to love in the battle fronts with a very high chance of dying.

I hope nobody does, but knowing Game of Thrones, they might just end up dying all, failing to protect Winterfell and the army of the dead walks south and kills the rest of the Westerosi on the mainland as well.
