Warning! THIS THREAD WILL CONTAIN SPOILERSI’ll add my thoughts about the current week’s episode, and update with any interesting links I may find throughout the day, don’t expect too much monologing from me though. If you find something related to Game of Thrones, post it. I read the books, but it’s been a while and I’m not so wrapped in the show that I know most of the current fan theories. ThoughtsHere are my thoughts for the current episode, they’re probably a bit hazy and I may have mis-remembered some details, I’m in the middle of my work cycle and had to watch on DVR after I got home and I’m throwing this together at 1am.Rob’s thoughts on “The Things We Do For Love”I thought this was another excellent set up episode by tying all the characters together who are at Winterfell.The interactions between the characters on the show is was what kept me watching this series.Jon and Dany, Sansa and Dany and Tyrion.Grey Worm and Missandei, Arya and Gendry, the list goes on.I know there wasn’t a lot of action in this episode but I enjoyed it for the camaraderie between the actors.Couple of thoughts.I’m glad Jon told Dany who he really is, whether she accepts it and whether he chooses to remain Jon Snow could be an entire episode.Dany and Sansa need to talk more, from the start of this series the men were primarily in charge, as the show progressed it’s become more women focused...right Lady Mormont?All of the characters are imperfect in some way Kyle Rudolph Jersey , I’m glad the writers haven’t strayed from that.Theon Greyjoy has the opportunity to redeem himself, I don’t think he’ll live but I think his name will live on forever.Now we know why the Night King is going to Winterfell, that’s where Bran is...whatever Bran is now. I think my favorite scene was around the fireplace when Brianne of Tarth becomes a Knight.LINKSGame of Thrones Season Eight, Episode Two Recap.Rules for the Game of Thrones thread:1.
