Notes on Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 2

SPOILER ALERT

SPOILER ALERT


1. In which Jon tries to ghost Danaerys, so she goes chasing him and all.
2. It is still so sweet that Jon referred to Danaerys as "Dany", because he seems to be the only person in the show who calls her by that nickname (apart from her brother Viserys, back in Season 1).
3. Then Jon tells Dany that he is her nephew.
What Dany should have said: "But you're my BOYFRIEND! What will happen to our love?"
Instead, she goes apeshit about her claim to the Iron Throne being threatened.
4. This fan service and/or fan fiction of an episode, which may or may not exist in a universe parallel to the A Song of Ice and Fire books, is bewildering. Too weird to be canon.
5. Big wolf doggo Ghost is back! Who's the good boy? Who's the best boy?
6. All these characters doing and saying crazy things (yes, I'm looking at you, Arya, you irresponsible tart). But then again, it IS the end of the world, so they can't be blamed so saying and doing crazy things.
7. On Brienne's knighting ceremony: It appears that knights CAN confer knighthood.

Brienne's knighting ceremony, however, is nowhere nearly as beautiful as the scene where she pledges her services to Sansa: 

8. The Jaime-Brienne-Tormund love triangle! Amiriiiight?
9. Theon and Jaime seem to have both completed their redemption arcs. Fearless prediction: They are both dead next episode.
10. What if an infuriated Dany just suddenly went back to Dragonstone with her army and dragons? This is, according to her, "Jon's war", after all.
