Game of Thrones has always been quite obscure as a series, and last week’s episode was definitely the darkest of them all (literally). After a bloody massacre, we lost tons and tons of random characters we never even met. And we, unfortunately, also lost those who had a special place in our hearts: Ser Jorah, Lyanna Mormont, Beric Dondarrion, Edd “Something” from the Night’s Watch, and poor Theon (may them all rest in peace). All in all, it wasn’t the carnage we were led to believe and had to prepare emotionally for. And then again, this episode wasn’t as nail-biting as we thought it would be.
We all knew the fourth episode of this season eight was going to be all about getting ready for the final battle (unless it’s not the final battle?), and that it wouldn’t have featured as much of the action as last episode, but, darn it, did it had to be this boring? In case you snoozed at some point, here are the really important moments. Spoiler alert: those who needed to get laid did get laid, while others just were gossiping around with one another.
