‘Game of Thrones’ recap: In ‘Winterfell,’ Jon Snow returns home and learns the truth
By David Malitz David Malitz Deputy features editor overseeing coverage of culture, arts, entertainment. Email Bio Follow Deputy features editor April 15 at 12:59 AM Well, here we are. After eight years; 67 episodes; countless deaths — actually, make that 2,339 deaths; approximately that many fan theories and predictions; and enough content to keep the entire Internet full, we’ve made it to the home stretch.
Unsurprisingly, Jon has trouble fully taking in this information. He’s lived his entire life as Jon Snow, now all of a sudden he’s told that he’s Aegon Targaryen and is the one who should be sitting on the Iron Throne. Jon is a man who follows protocol and he has already professed his support for Daenerys. She’s our queen, he tells Sam.
After the deed is done, the only thing on Cersei’s mind is that she really wanted those elephants. Unbothered by what seems like a decidedly negative review of his abilities, Euron wants to know how his sack skills compare to the late Robert Baratheon and then the Kingslayer himself, Jaime . “You might be the most arrogant man I’ve ever met,” Cersei tells him, which she notes is a compliment, but it’s very hard to be convinced that Cersei actually enjoys his company.
The Karstarks come back to support the cause; Lord Glover does not. Sansa, who has been viewing the Jon and Dany alliance skeptically since their arrival, delivers the news about Lord Glover to Jon, which makes Jon go into his whole spiel again about how he never wanted a crown, he only wanted to protect the North and really, Jon, we get it: You are truly the most selfless person to ever walk the Seven Kingdoms.
Isaac Hempstead Wright in Season 8 of HBO’s “Game of Thrones.” Bran and Jaime Lannister meet again Arguably the most intriguing moment of the episode was the final one. A cloaked figure rides into Winterfell and removes his hood to reveal that he’s Jaime Lannister — a decidedly more grizzled, less-blonde Jaime Lannister.
