The Review: Game Of Thrones Season 8 Episode 4



Game Of Thrones Season 8 “The Last Of The Starks”

As always this will be full of spoilers. Oh, you sons of bitches! This episode had me on an emotional roller coaster. I was sad, happy, excited, sad again, happy, baffled as shit, and mad by the time the episode ended. Not for any bad reasons like the episode wasn't good. The episode was great and a really well paced follow up to the previous war filled one. But holy shit, HBO. This felt like meeting a hot chick and then she whispers “Hail Hydra...” in your ear. This starts off with the funeral for all who died during the battle against the Night King. I actually wondered how they would handle all those bodies considering I used to move corpses for a living. Christ, I have had some weird jobs. They show Jorah's body and Dany whispers something to him. Not sure what it was but it probably was something like “Wait till they see how fucking crazy I really am.” Seriously. I know her family 'nem. Them fuckers is wild! So they burn everyone, Jo gives a speech, and then they head inside to celebrate. Oh, and Ghost is alive. I know folks were more concerned about that wolf than anyone else.


During the festivities people are getting stank ass drunk. Gendry is like “Where Arya?” and The Hound is like “I bet you wanna know...” because apparently on this show if you have had the sex people can tell by looking at you. It's been so long for me that maybe there is some way to tell. Just when Gendry is about to leave Dany calls him out. She mentions he is Robert's son and hold him responsible for shit his dad he didn't even know did. Ain't that some shit? She mindfucks him a bit before changing his name to Lord Gendry Baratheon of Storm's End. Thanks? I guess? He runs off to find Arya and proposes to her and she is all on her independent woman thing now. Hell, she killed the Night King. She don't wanna be a “lady” and lets him down. I don't know what she did in that bedroom with that boy but the shit must have been spicy. Tyrion is working the room and tries talking to Branbot-5000 which is like trying to talk to a plant. Pretty sure it hears you but you won't be able to understand the response. Dany leaves the party when she gets all in her feelings because Jon is being praised as good as a king and how he can back from the dead. Dany inside is like “I got dragons, lived through fire, saved thousands, and these people still don't like me.” I was thinking someone needs to give this girl a high-five, stat!


Everyone is getting drunk including Tyrion, Jaime, and Brienne. They play some guessing drinking game you people who went to college played and guesses she is a virgin. She gets pissed and leaves. Jaime follows her to her room. Tormund, who is all about her, gets pissed and complains to The Hound about it. The Hound ain't got time for your problems! Jaime ends up heading to Brienne's room and acting all “Woo, it sure is hot. I should start undressing. Next thing you know they are doing the sexy time. Don't feel bad for Tormund and all. He ends up boning down with some women are are hanging around to have the bone down. Sansa sits down with The Hound who no one will leave alone. He says if she had left with him she would have been safe and not had all the terrible shit that happened happen to her. She retorts that she would have stayed the “little bird” as he called her.


Dany finds Jon who is still kinda drunk and she says that Jorah loved her but not the way she loves Jon. They start doing that thing where humans put their lips against one another as a sign of affection when he stops. She is like “I wish you never told me that I was your aunt.” See, to her the shit is fine because her family tree has no branches. But he is creeped out by it as he should be. She does not want him to tell his sisters about his true lineage and he says he can't do that as asks what else he should do. She is like “I just told you, fool!” The next day Dany has a meeting with everyone and they all disagree with her because her plan means going right into battle against Cersei even though they have a shit ton of hurt soldiers that are tired and just lost thousands. Jon decides to agree with her which is dumb as hell but I get it...kinda. Tyrion reminds her that they want to remove Cersei, not destroy King's Landing and she is like “Rrrrrrright...” After she leaves the room Arya and Sansa are like “You better talk to her!” They meet in the woods along with Branbot-5000 and Jon makes Sansa and Arya swear not to tell his secret and he lays it on them. They don't show it but he tells them.


Jaime tells Tyrion that he is staying in Winterfell with Brienne and Tyrion guesses that they did adult things. See?! You can just tell! Suddenly Bronn shows up with a crossbow and says he really only needs one of them alive. Jaime does not want to make a deal but Tyrion reminds Bronn that he made a promise years ago that whatever Cersei paid him to kill Tyrion he would double it. He won't fight against Cersei but says he will be back when all the dust settles. The Hound is heading to King's Landing and Arya appears because he can not be left alone. He says he has some unfinished business there (meaning his punkass brother!) and she says she does too and they ride off together. It was cool seeing them together again. Dany has her two dragons and the one that was shot is healed enough to fly. Sansa is watching this shit and looking all sour when Tyrion shows up trying to convince her that Dany ain't all that bad. She is though. Sansa ends up telling Jon's secret knowing he will tell Varys. Which he does. Varys wants Jon to rule and Tyrion is like “Shut your mouth please!”


Everyone starts heading off and Jon sends Ghost off with Tormund and his wildlings who hate the area. Sam and Gilly leave (thank god!) and she tells Jon she is pregnant. Good. Go. Bye. The ships are sailing to King's Landing while Dany is on her dragon with another one next to her. Grey Worm and Missandei (who I will just call Missy because my spell check hates these names) are holding hands and happy which means one of them about to die. Not because of the color of their skin but because they smiled. Shit is looking okay until a spear hits one of the dragons. It gets hit again in the neck and dies in the water. Euron and his crew ambushed their asses. The ships get hit and some go down and they wash up on a beach. Missy ends up captured by Cersei and I knew she was dead because Cersei is fucking insane. Grey Worm is losing his shit but holding it together better than my ass would've.


Dany and the others have another meeting and she is dead set on having things go the way she wants because it is her fate to rule. Uh-oh. Crazy coming out. Tyrion proposes they talk to Cersei. Yeah. You know this won't end well. Oh, I forgot. Jaime finding out what is happening ends up making Brienne cry and leaves her which means he is an asshole again. He is like “I crippled a kid, strangled my cousin, and killed a village for my sister so...BYYYYYE!” He leaves Brienne crying which is unforgivable. I really like her and her character and it pissed me off that this scumbag treated her the way he did. Cersei tells (lies) to Euron about their kid and her creepy doctor is like “Mmm-hmm...” We all know Jaime is the father and he will too once that thing comes out crazy as fuck or with an extra limb or three.


So Dany and a bunch of soldiers along with Grey Worm and Tyrion head to the front gates to talk to Cersei. She has Missy up top and she is looking shook. Tyrion and Qyburn the creepy doctor/zombie maker walk up to talk. Qyburn is not willing to change a thing. Tyrion walks past him and talks to Cersei on the wall saying how she loved her kids and is not a monster. Cersei tells Missy if she has any last words she needs to say them now. Missy is like “Dracarys!” Dany knows what this means. The Mountain chops her head off and her body is shoved down below. Dany storms off looking ultra mega pissed off. Tyrion is standing there like Fuuuuuck...” This episode was fucking nuts and I have no idea how the next two episodes are going to go. There are a lot of people left to kill or do the killing and my body is not ready for it.
