The 'Game Of Thrones' final season premiere was 'the most dynamic and eventful season opener in the HBO drama’s 9-year history,' writes critic LorraineAli
Before the show’s halfway mark, an altered Theon Greyjoy finally reclaimed his manhood after years of powerlessness by taking action against those who betrayed him and captured his sister Yara .And by the 54-minute episode’s close, Snow learned what we’ve known for years — that he’s not Ned Stark’s son but Aegon Targaryen, a descendant of the mad king and direct heir to the Iron Throne.
It’s also, of course, Westeros’ year of the woman since so many of the female characters in the show are poised to seize power. But that doesn’t mean they get along in Season 8. Sansa, who’s unimpressed and a bit disgusted at the mention of the giant lizards, asked “What do dragons eat?”Snow, meanwhile, got in hot water again thanks to his earnestness and valor. It must be exhausting to be so honorable. “You left a king and came back as what?” asked locals who were upset he pledged his loyalty to the Targaryen queen.“I had a choice to keep my crown or protect the North. I chose the North,” he responded.
Meanwhile at King’s Landing, Queen Cersei was also focused on the approaching zombie storm, but she’s not lifting a finger to stop the Night King. She’s hoping his decomposing troops wipe out the dragon queen, Snow and her “traitor” brother Tyrion. She wishes the same fate for her recently estranged brother, Ser Jaime , a.k.a. the father of her children and unborn baby. Let the ghouls eat him too.
