They all named him King in the North how dare he term it not important. Something that was straightforwardly obvious when young Lord Umber - who dies at the hands of the White Walkers later on - had to dispatch three greetings one after another: ‘my lady' for Sansa, ‘my lord' for Jon, and ‘your grace' for Daenerys.įor Jon, such concerns are “not important”, something young Lyanna Mormont doesn't take kindly to. The back-and-forth established the important puzzle pieces for the time to come but it also established that there might be too many authority figures at Winterfell. That should give them a good chance to fight the imminent threat of the Army of the Dead, the Lannister said in the home of the Starks.īut there's another side to numbers as well, as Sansa pointed out: how we do feed them all? She prepared her winter garrisons for the men they had, not the ones Jon decided to bring. Tyrion pitched said strength in an assertive fashion to those gathered in the common hall, hoping to win over the grumbling Northern allies who aren't happy that Jon has given up his crown so soon, by noting that they had assembled “the greatest army the world had ever seen”.
Game of Thrones season 8 episode 1 began, predictably, with Dany and Jon's arrival at Winterfell, riding together with their combined forces that include the Dothraki, the Unsullied, and two full-grown dragons. Spoilers ahead for Game of Thrones season 8, episode 1 “Winterfell”. (It even ended with one, which called back to the show's first ever episode.) And the big character moment was set up in fine fashion as well, by using narrative blocks that pushed the story forward, in combination with some shots that added to the humour quotient of the episode, a necessary inclusion given the grim nature of what's to come. Game of Thrones season 8 episode 1 “Winterfell” was always going to be a table-setting episode, but it nevertheless built up to a major reveal - for a character, not the audience - while stitching together some lovely, heavily-anticipated reunions along the way.
