Got S8E4

Hey guys! I’m sure these aren’t original thoughts but I thought I’d share anyways!

1. Dany has changed. A lot. Over time her focus has shifted from seeking justice for the people to seeking power for herself. This is evident when she tells Jon to be quite about the new discovery of his birth parents. The only way that he can have her is if he lets her have the power. Jon would make a great leader and he has only ever advocated for the good of people. He’s never let power go to his head. Dany telling Jon to keep quite isn’t because she knows it’s what is best for the people. She’s not thinking of anyone but herself. Sadly, I think she is becoming more like her father every day. We thought Dany would be the redemption of the fallen Targaryens…But they are going to slowly rip our hearts out on that one unfortunately.

2. Sansa knew what she was going when she didn’t keep Jon’s secret. It was a power play. She knows Jon will never step up and take control of the situation and this is the only way she knows how. To make the people force him to do so after they find out who the true heir is. She is 100% devoted to the north and she doesn’t trust the north in Dany’s hands…so she must take the situation into her own.

3. I was so pissed that Jon didn’t say goodbye to ghost. But I think it was symbolic of Jon currently choosing Dany over the Starks. Jon thinks he is doing what is best by placing their futures in the hands of another (just like with ghost) but his family is left feeling a sense of abandonment as we also see when ghost watches Jon leave. Such a heartbreaking moment.

4. I think Tyrion is slowly staring to realize that he and Verys are no longer guiding Dany but that she is now very much going whatever direction she so pleases regardless of their direction. He has taken to his old drinking habits perhaps to numb this realization and is in a state of denial even though he knows that Verys is right.

5. There has been talk of Cersei possibly coming out the winner in the final battle…But honestly I think the downfall of the Lannisters has been foreshadowed the entire time in the very fabric of their name….”A Lannister always pays his debts”…and there is quite a debt to pay.

6. Bran….Yeah I’ve got nothin….I have no friggin clue.
