8.02: A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms
Synopsis: The battle at Winterfell is approaching. Jaime is confronted with the consequences of the past. A tense interaction between Sansa and Daenerys follows. Director: David Nutter IMDb rating: 9.0 IMDb v2.0: 8.9 RT rating: 93% (8.7 average)
Episode 1 has aired and that means that it's already time to talk about next week's episode. It still doesn't have a title and I expect that we don't find out about the title until the episode airs for every episode remaining this season. Just like the premiere, it's directed by David Nutter. In contrast to episode 1, which was written by Dave Hill (only on the show since season 5), this episode has been written by Bryan Cogman. Cogman is already a part of the writing team since season 1 and has written episodes like Kissed by Fire, What Is Dead May Never Die, The Laws of Gods and Men & Stormborn. Based on the promo video it looks like the second episode will have a higher pace than the premiere. I expect interesting character interactions and I think they will reach a boiling point in this episode. So I expect some resolution or at least development of the distrust between the North and Daenerys. It looks like it'll be the build-up to the big White Walker fight, which I expect in episode 3.

Agree. I expect episode 3 to be the battle of Winterfell.

this episode has been written by Bryan Cogman. Cogman is already a part of the writing team since season 2 Excuse me but Bryan Cogman has been on staff since season 1, long regarded as the "keeper of lore". He wrote episode 4 of season 1.

My mistake, I'll update my post. Thanks for pointing it out .

I know the big battle is in episode three, but I hope that some crazy stuff still happens here. If Bran forgives Jaime, then everyone else should. I seriously hope Dany does not have too much of a problem with him. He essentially never did anything to her besides kill her crazy father before she was even born.

He essentially never did anything to her besides kill her crazy father before she was even born. She also banished Jorah twice for spying on her before he decided to switch to her side. Daenerys is not, was never fit to rule and is not learning. Her being faced with Jaime could be her next chance at showing this.

I don't think Dany should have a problem with him either but from the teaser to the next episode, it looks like she does. I wonder if in the end, Tyrion will somehow save his brother...he does owe him one, Jamie saved him from being killed.

Through the first three seasons, she was one of the strongest and most likable characters. She has gone downhill ever since. I LOATHE Jon and her together. They have ZERO chemistry together and their kiss scene last night seemed so forced. They are just so awkward together.

I just rewatched the trailer for season 8 and I noticed that almost all of the footage is from episode 1. I'd say about 75% - 80% is episode 1 footage. And a lot of the other 20% is footage that is in the episode 2 preview or would make perfect sense to be in episode 2. There are a few moments (like the Army of the Death arriving at the end) that I expect to be in episode 3 (the battle episode), but there isn't a single moment in the trailer that looks like it's from episodes 4 - 6 and I like that a lot.

Cersei bought the guy who helped her brother intrigue against her in S2. That's the difference between Lannisters, who look for win-win situations by making deals to share interests, and the whole bunch of tyrannical shits, Targaryens or Starks, who impose whatever they want at dragon point or what they deem themselves capable of judging is right (and in the case of Ned Stark, it was not even own judgement, of which he was plainly incapable, but stupidly received principles).

Cersei order the beheading of peasants trying to flee during the raid on Kings Landing and ordered their heads be put on spikes to warn the others. She would have.

Jorah was useful. Cersei is no idiot but Daenerys is a feeling turd.

They are a handsome couple They are both good looking, sure, but they have no chemistry. Like seriously. There is ZERO chemistry. Every time they kiss each other it looks so awkward for both. I know Kit was with Rose in real life, but you really felt Jon and Ygrette. They looked at each other and looked in love. When they kissed, you could feel it. Not with Dany. It is such a forced relationship.

Margaery was an active threat, manipulating Tommen into sending his mother away. Jorah was a former, long gone threat. Cersei might be clumsy and over-reacting to the point of endangering herself but Daenerys is blind and vindictive without need. And that's a basic opposition between both. Cersei fights what she fears, Daenerys crushes what she dislikes. That's why all the resentful losers in the world love the latter.

I hate Dany and love Cersei, I just know who she is. She is the type of character that would burn everything to the ground if it would mean she was the only one left. She does not care about anyone anymore but herself. I still love her though. She is now a far better character than Dany and I am not even sure how it is argued. Through the first three seasons, Dany and Tyrion were the best characters with the best scenes and lines. Since then, they have gone far downhill.

Nothing that threatens me is worth preserving. Anyone saying otherwise needs to be removed.
