Winter is Here (SPOILER ALERT)

As most of the world knows by now, yesterday was the premier of Game of Thrones, season 8 and to say the least, it has been one of the most expected seasons for over a year!

Usually I don't like to spoil anything for those of you whom might come across my blog, but this time, I'm going to make a bit of the exception to the rule, in that I will basically tell you some of my favorite moments from last night's episode.

So, this is your one and only...

**SPOILER ALERT**

1. Jon Snow returns to Winterfell....

OMG, all that side-eye and shade! The King in the North returns, but now with Daenerys and if only side eyes could kill. No one is really happy about it, but specially the Stark (Sansa, Bran & Arya) whom are really cautious about the arrival of Dany. And can you really blame them after all they've been through? Specially, when some of the Lords in the North decide to sit it out because they feel betrayed by Jon, whom swore to protect them. I kinda find this a bit reminiscent when Robb Starrk falls in love, and basically ruins everything. So, I'm hoping that Jon can see through it clearer than his brother/nephew.

2. Tormund, Dolorous Edd and Beric Dondarrion...

I loved seeing our favorite wildling red-head STILL alive after the crash of the wall, and I especially loved that bit of comedic interaction between Dolorous Edd and Tormund. It's a relief to know that some of expected deaths won't be immediately happen, at least, they're giving our hearts a bit of a breather. Thank you, HBO!

3. The Lady of Winterfell & her ex...

Last night was a reunion episode, where many of the characters that had seen each other had been a while, and having them meet again, was a quick catch up between them and us the audience. But definitely one of the most awkward catch ups was between Sansa Stark and Tyrion Lannister. The word awkward was invented after these two, it was basically what a meeting would look like if a divorced couple, after a bitter separation, had to meet with each other at a common acquaintance, and they're trying to remain as civil as possible in order for them to not start drama. That's how awkward these two were, but at the same time, it was nice having both size each other up again (in terms of character growth) and what it can potentially mean for the rest of the season.

4. How to train your Rhaegal...

And finally, Jon Snow gets to ride a dragon. Which I'm sure will come in handy in the couple of next episodes (I hope). Also, for the fact that he got to ride on Rhaegal, which is quite fitting since he is the son of Rhaegar, so it was a nice touch to his lineage. Also, that scene with Drogon & Jon, was ummm, interesting?! Uncomfortable, I should say. Is this what overly possessive pets do to strangers when they're trying to get intimate with their owners? 😄

5. Arya and Gendry reunite...

And something I mentioned to my husband was that, it would be poetic if by the end of the season, Arya and Gendry end up together (that's of course, assuming they survive). Since, Arya has always been said to resemble Lyanna and Gendry is a son of Robert Baratheon, it would be poetic and ironic. But, that was actually nice to see those two again (also, not to mention the mini Hound encounter).

6. Daenerys the bitch...

Hear me out, there have been times where I've absolutely LOVED Dany, and there have been times that I've scratched my head at her for some of her decisions. But last night, one of the few moments when I was genuinely angry with her was when she meets Samwell Tarly and mercilessly tells him that she burned her father AND brother because they refused to fight her. She needs people to trust her in the North, and telling them that they burned their families is definitely NOT the way to do it. Specially, that we're talking about SAM, who is admired by not only Bran and others, but Jon Snow. So, it broke my heart and for the first time, I had to call her a bitch and who acted no different than Cersei would have.

I know that there are so many other moments that stood out, but these were the ones that stood out the most for me. And quite frankly, where the ones that I definitely choose as my favorite. No one knows how this will end, but one thing is certain, however it does, I'm sure it'll be something that we will be talking about for a long time.
