When Game of Thrones Season 8 premiered last week, the fans, for the first time, experienced full contentment and satisfaction in one full episode. The remaining Starks are finally reunited back to their home. Jon Snow subsequently rides Rhaegal. And of course, Sam has finally revealed Jon's true identity.
What a way to start the season, right? But, these things make it much more troublesome; after all, this is Game of Thrones. And the one thing that is very much consistent with this show is that it always gives the fans a tremendous heartache.
Just like what Ramsey Bolton said, there is no happy ending here if you are paying attention.
The next episode of Game of Thrones Season 8 will certainly be the start of the end. Although the battle between the dead and the living is presumably to arrive in the third episode, problems and complications between the characters will be apparent when the new episode airs.
For one, Jamie Lannister has already arrived in Winterfell. And this is something that will surely cause division to everyone in the North. Well, aside from the fact that Jamie killed Daenerys' father, the Mad King, plus, he also tried to kill Bran, no one trusts the Lannisters. This is why the upcoming episode of Game of Thrones Season 8 will somehow be a trial for him in the North.
We all know that Jamie Lannister always had his reasons as to why he did his actions. And right now, he just wants to fight alongside the living because it's the right thing to do. But since his previous actions have taken a toll on almost everyone, it's impossible for the people in the North to simply welcome him and let him stay.
Aside from Jamie's arrival and trial, the fans would also see the aftermath of the greatest revelation. Will Jon Snow tell everyone what he had just learned? And if so, this will become a great problem for everyone, especially Danny.
On another note, the official trailer of Game of Thrones Season 8's upcoming episode also showed that everybody is now preparing for the forthcoming battle. For sure, the Night King and his army will arrive in Winterfell just right before the episode ends. And this only makes sense as to why the third episode is the longest installment to this season.
Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 2 will run for 58 minutes. And it is set to premiere on April 21, on HBO.
