Inside Game Of Thrones: The highly anticipated behind the scene preview of HBO new series 'Game of Thrones' featuring few new clips and a wide-ranging set of interviews with George R.R. Martin, David Benioff, D.B. Weiss and some members of the cast and crew. To watch Game of Thrones season 7, episode 2, “Stormborn” on HBO Go and HBO Now is simple. First of all, it should be streaming as soon as the episode airs on HBO. First of all, it should be. In the Game of Thrones (TV series) canon, Egg is the Mad King’s father.' [23] 'Egg' is the nickname of King Aegon V Targaryen in the 'Tales of Dunk and Egg' prequel novellas. This has wider implications for the potential live-action adaptation of the prequels that HBO has been discussing with George R.R.

“Game of Thrones” lived up to its billing as a song of ice and fire on Sunday, as there was plenty of action in both of the signature halves of the story.

In the North we witnessed perhaps the rarest event in the Known World: An actual Stark reunion. The show has gone to gymnastic lengths to scuttle all previous brushes with the same — Arya and Sansa at the Eyrie; Bran and Jon at Craster’s Keep; and most tragically, Arya and Robb and Catelyn at Chez Frey. For scarred “Thrones” fans, last week’s revelation that Jon Snow was moving on, as Sansa was making her way to Castle Black, promised to be the latest example of this.

[Ahead of the final season of “Game of Thrones,” relive it all with our ultimate watching guide, including episode recaps and deep plot dives.]

But there Sansa was on Sunday, showing up just in time to share a hug with her (theoretical) half brother and have a look at Ramsay’s charming Dear Jon letter. I may have yelped with joy when the gates opened to reveal Sansa and Brienne. This story has sprawled so prodigiously, there is a visceral thrill that comes from seeing disparate pieces connect, especially pieces of the tortured family that represents whatever good is left in the world.

As for the fire portion of the program, well, you saw it. The Dothraki hut went up like a haystack soaked in kerosene, taking the potty-mouthed khals with it and allowing the unburnt dragon mother to emerge from the flames. As Dothraki-cowing parlor tricks go, it’s a good one, which we already know because we saw her do roughly the same thing with Khal Drogo’s funeral pyre in Season 1.

Indeed, for many of us, Dany’s effortless bar-b-coup probably inspired the suspicion that the net result of the Slaver’s Bay excursions and Meereen misadventures were to get Daenerys Targaryen back to where she was over four seasons ago: leading a Dothraki force with designs on taking them on wooden horses across the Black Salt Sea.

It was more complicated than that, of course, and we’ll come back to Vaes Dothrak. But first let’s return northwestward, where the show packed quite a bit into a few poignant scenes.

It is a different Sansa whom Jon Snow met on Sunday — one full of righteous rage and a plan to retake their ancestral home by force. As for Jon, well he’s still the same sullen dude who sulked in the corners of said home, give or take a zombie fight and a resurrection or two. (I did enjoy the self-referential joke about Jon as a moody youth in Winterfell.)

But Sophie Turner and Kit Harington infused the scenes with warmth and a sense of familial comfort — the siblings’ delight at being together again was palpable, though tinged with melancholy for obvious reasons. “We never should have left Winterfell,” Snow said. We were reminded that most of what has happened over the past six seasons, not just the Stark strife but the various wars, betrayals and other machinations that have convulsed the world of this story, were triggered when Robert Baratheon called Ned to King’s Landing.

I’m sick of fighting, Jon told Sansa. It’s all I’ve been doing, and did I mention I got killed a few days ago? If you don’t come along, I’m doing it without you, she said. Then Ramsay the Terrible’s mocking letter arrived to put everyone on the same page.

The missive signaled Ramsay’s overflowing arrogance (“come and see”) and why wouldn’t it? Since we met him in Season 3, we’ve seen him break down and enslave a young nobleman; win his legitimacy at Moat Cailin, trick the formidable Petyr “Littlefinger” Baelish into letting him marry Sansa; defeat Stannis; and murder his own father to take control of House Bolton. His only misstep was allowing Sansa to escape but he quickly replaced her with her little brother.

A few commenters thought the crafty and capable Osha might spell doom for him, and she apparently had the same idea. But nope. Soon she had a hole in her neck and the kennel master’s hounds had a new special on the menu. (Fun fact: Natalia Tena and Iwan Rheon played a couple in a dystopian sci-fi mini-series last year called “Residue.” I haven’t seen it but it’s on Netflix.)

The guy has good reasons to be arrogant, is the point. But the letter’s grandiosity felt like the moment Ramsay finally invited his own demise. Boiler license in california. Few things undo dramatic characters as effectively as preening hubris — just ask Joffrey, Oberyn, and any number of killed-off slavers and henchmen — and Ramsay doesn’t realize how many forces are aligning against him. Over in the Vale, Littlefinger (welcome back!) has manipulated the Suckling Robin into sending troops to help Sansa. Plus Ramsay’s never met Wun Wun, who might not appreciate Lord Bolton’s vile threats against Wildlings. (I realize I’m sort of obsessed with the improbable notion of Wun Wun the giant being the one to kill Ramsay but come on, what would be better?)

Sansa’s steadfastness in the face of Jon’s reluctance offered the latest evidence that Sansa has assumed a leadership role within both her own family and her own story, in general. It was also one of several sibling dynamics that found the sisters taking command. Cersei Lannister bossing around Jaime is old news, of course, but on Sunday we also saw Margaery bucking up the disintegrating Loras and Theon volunteering for the committee to elect Yara leader of the Iron Born.

It’s become common this season to note that the female characters on “Game of Thrones” are stepping to the fore, but that was especially evident on Sunday. Women took purposeful steps to reshape their fortunes while, on the other side of the fence, our beloved Tyrion Lannsplained slavery to former slaves and the High Sparrow did his usual poverty-porn self-mythologizing for Margaery, who sees his empty brand-burnishing pieties for what they really are.

And then we have the woman who literally burned the patriarchy to the ground.

I admit that despite the visual flair of the sequence, I mostly sighed as Dany flambéed the khal council. How regularly is google maps updated images. For one thing, there was the easy efficiency of the takeover. (Seriously, was that thing made of kindling or what? Or are we supposed to think Jorah and Daario somehow sprayed it down with lighter fluid in advance?) Then there was the fact that, as I said earlier, it essentially returned her to where she was a few seasons ago: leading a bunch of Dothrakis, with an eye on conquering Westeros.

But the more I thought about it, the more the parallelism of her emergence highlighted how far she has come, even as much of her arc has been mired in the mostly cheerless stasis in Meereen. She has conquered cities. She has made mistakes. She has been underestimated and has learned the value of allowing herself to be underestimated. She has acquired the support of the Unsullied and of the oppressed of Slaver’s Bay, even if Tyrion threatens to undo much of that support. And not for nothing, but the baby dragons who emerged from that pyre are now, you know, actual giant fire-breathing dragons.

Then there was the symbolism of the thing. The khals collectively represent a distilled, pure-grade dose of the savage aggression that has torn this world apart — they promised an almost cartoonish level of rape and cruelty and ended up as ash, showing in the process the ultimate fecklessness of bluster, dumb strength and braggadocio in the face of true transcendent power. The kind Dany represented in the early days of this story but is only now beginning to embody.

Something tells me things are going to go better for her this time.

A Few Thoughts While We Scratch Our Heads

• The plot thickens in King’s Landing, where it now seems Cersei and Jaime plan to bring in a Tyrell army to overthrow the High Sparrow, perhaps as Margaery is queuing up for her own walk of shame. I have to admit I’m a little confused by all of this — last week it seemed like we were headed toward a trial by combat. Maybe we still are. Or maybe Cersei’s playing the Tyrells as part of a broader plot to regain power in the capital. The only thing I’m sure of is: 1. Cersei is destined to underestimate how her actions might come back to bite her; and 2., somewhere Mountainstein is sharpening his sword and/or splattering a loose-lipped drunk against a wall.

• Many people wondered if the Rickon’s arrival at Winterfell was actually a House Umber plot to undo Ramsay, but Osha’s thwarted gambit seemed to contradict that theory. Her actions seemed too impulsive and desperate. Or did you read that differently?

• After several seasons of flailing, Brienne’s really putting it all together. First she saved Sansa and now she’s reunited her with a family member. She also cleared up any remaining mystery about whether Stannis somehow survived the Season 5 finale (he didn’t) and served notice to the Red Woman over her role in Renly’s smoky assassination. (“Just because it’s in past doesn’t mean I forget or forgive,” she told her.) Now it seems romance might be in the frigid air of Castle Black. Tormund reacted to her arrival with the Wildling equivalent of a Looney Tunes wolf whistle.

• That Shireen shoe is going to drop at some point and it’s not going to be pretty. Davos and Melisandre have been uneasy allies this season but that revelation will bring an end to all that, to the point that I’m not sure both will survive whatever comes afterward.

• Last week we put out an A.P.B. for Littlefinger — on Sunday we were rewarded by the master plotter’s first appearance this season. The thrill was undercut somewhat by the contemporaneous return of the squirrely Suckling Robin, who has made exactly zero positive strides since we last saw him. He still can’t hit a target and he still lives to throw people out of the dreaded moon door. I enjoy him as a goof on the colorful history of actual half-wit nobles and monarchs — and thus as a walking critique of the very concept of royalty by birth. But he still gives me the creeps.

• Bronn, however, is still missing in action. Perhaps Cersei and Jaime’s coup will have a place for him.

• What did you think? Are we finally done with Ramsay? But who becomes the big baddie if he goes down? Where does Dany go from here? What sound did you make when Brienne and Sansa arrived at Castle Black? Please share your thoughts in the comments.

Spoiler alert! The following contains spoilers from Game of Thrones Season 7 Episode 7, “The Dragon and the Wolf.” Read our recap of Episode 7 here, Episode 6 here.

Game of Thrones Season 7 is over. Let's talk about Season 8.

The HBO fantasy drama became a little too easy to predict in Season 7, and the finale set up a number of narratives that will carry over into the new season. Here are eight things you can expect to see in the new season, based on the developments in the Season 7 finale. How it will all end, however, is still up for grabs.

1. Fallout over Jon and Dany's hookup

We didn't want them to go there, but unfortunately Game of Thrones couldn't help itself. Jon and Dany acted on the sexual tension that's been building all season and slept together in Sunday night's episode. Their romantic tryst was sullied by the fact that the two are related, which was unequivocally confirmed by Bran and Sam in a scene intercut with the sex. The pair are determined to tell Jon the truth about his parentage, which likely will hinder his budding relationship.

But even before they learn that they are aunt and nephew, they may have to deal with Tyrion, who watches them steal away together with what appears to be jealousy in his eyes. Is the Hand feeling more than political loyalty to his queen? And will that affect the war against the Walkers and/or Dany's bid for the Iron Throne? Speaking of..

2. Fallout over Jon's place in the line of succession

The fact that Rhaegar and Lyanna were married when Jon was born means that Jon, aka Aegon Targaryen, is officially the heir to the Iron Throne, as the firstborn son of the firstborn son of the most recent Targaryen king.

Dany has staked her claim on the Iron Throne on two things: Her worth as a leader and the righteousness of her claim. The throne was stolen from her family and she is here to take it back. But the knowledge that there is a member of her family with a better claim could rock her worldview. Underneath it all, Dany has a desire for power, like so many characters on this series. This naked ambition could come to light if she is jockeying for power with Jon.

3. More effective use of Bran's powers

In the finale, the series established that Bran can visit whatever point in the past he wants, whenever, and he finally used this power to confirm that Rhaegar and Lyanna were married before Jon was born. Now that he's done this once to answer a specific question, he should (hopefully) be doing it again. There's no point in having an all-seeing being in the house if he doesn't see anything.

4. Cersei and/or Jaime's death

We didn't think they would make it through Season 7, but in a short and White Walker-focused Season 8, there won't be much room for the Lannisters. If the series starts to kill off its major characters again, we believe they will go first. If Cersei enters the fray in the North, it leaves open the possibility that Arya could cross another name off her list. If her feud with Jaime gets worse, it could fulfill another prediction from Maggy the Frog.

5. Arya and Sansa working together again

Now that it's clear that the sisters were never at odds, putting on a heck of a performance for Littlefinger, the question becomes what they will do next. Arya has no designs on being the Lady of Winterfell, a post Sansa is more than excelling at. So, does that perhaps free Arya to put all those killing skills to use against the White Walkers? Or perhaps the sisters will put their combined talents to use against Cersei, who has wronged them both?

6. Euron, Theon and the Golden Company

Euron didn't just exclude himself from the Game of Thrones narrative, he hatched a secret plan with Cersei to ferry the Golden Company from Essos to Westeros so she could keep her hold on the Iron Throne. Theon, meanwhile, tried to be a hero and rallied his remaining Ironborn supporters to go rescue Yara. Whether or not the men are successful in their missions, it seems likely that they will met again, perhaps in another naval battle.

7. An answer on Tormund's and Beric's fates

The finale left us unclear about the status of Beric and Tormund, who were on the Wall when Viserion let loose his blue fire. It seems unlikely the pair was able to survive the avalanche of ice, but it wouldn't be the first time a character pulled a miraculous save during a life-or-death situation. We'd guess that only one of them makes it out, because someone has to tell Jon and Dany what the Night King has wrought. And we may be biased, but we hope it's Tormund who pulls through. The series could use his jokes.

8. An ice- and fire-dragon battle

This one is part wishful thinking, part prediction, but after seeing Viserion unleash his cold blue flame in the final scenes, we can't wait to see what would happen if he went head-to-head with one of his brothers, like wand battles in the Harry Potter movies. But we certainly know that there will be battles in the Great War, and they will be epic.
