Has Sam dealt with his sorrow and anger against Daenerys, enough to give Jorah his prized sword? Her killing of Randyll Tarly will not have saddened many (maybe even Sam), but the burning to death of poor Dickon in season 7 episode 5 looked a really awful decision by someone we’ve generally rooted for without much question.

We get the voiceover from the trailer where Arya says Death has many faces and “I look forward to seeing this one.” But is Arya getting too cocky?

Is it because she now knows Jon is her nephew, or because Tyrion is arguing with her to spare Jaime or because of Sansa’s defiance of her authority? Or is she instead just worried (who wouldn’t be)?

Jon comes out from somewhere looking concerned – is this when Tormund gets back and he knows that means the Walkers are nearly on them? Tormund tells Jon that the Walkers and their Wights will be at Winterfell “before the sun comes up tomorrow.” We close with a scene of Tyrion staring over the battlements gloomily. It looks like we’re in the endgame now.

The first episode of Game of Thrones season 8 was released on Monday morning, finally giving fans something to sink their teeth into after the extra-long hiatus post season 7.

From reunions to almost Bollywood-esque drama, the first episode had a lot to unpack, though it went at quite a sedate pace. But we know this is a do or die season for the characters, and the preview of season 8 episode 2, which came out just after episode 1, shows us there’s lots more excitement to come in the next episode.
