rvivors coming back: first <b>Bran</b>, brought from beyond the wall by Meera Reed, who explains to Sansa that he can no longer be lord of Winterfell.

Jon, Arya, Jaime … Where are the Characters of “Game of Thrones” at the Dawn of Season 8?

In two years, you have forgotten all the latest twists of “Game of Thrones”? A catch-up session before the final season.

Do you remember six months ago when you promised to see the first seven seasons of Game of Thrones before the start of Season 8? Like a ritual before the last big Mass … You were “laaaarge” at the time. And a month ago, when (after reviewing your claims downward) you were convinced that you still have time to review at least season 7? Easy! And finally, we are there. On the eve of the grand finale and you have not seen any episode.

It’s impossible to remember where Jaime Lannister, Brienne of Torth or Mélisandre are! Even for Jon Snow you’re not really sure … And on the side of the dead: Littlefinger, for sure, he’s dead! But Gendry? And Davos? And let’s face it, you do not even know who Sandor Clegane, Benjen Stark or Thoros of Myr are?

Do not feel guilty! After all, the last season was aired in July, August 2017. Two years ago already! Here’s an express catch-up session! Before the big night.

The Wall Fall

The end image was terrifying. The wall had fallen. The magical, millennial work had been destroyed in less than one sequence by the King of the Night. For this, the leader Maximo of the White Walkers had had a master card: Viserion, one of the dragons. More precisely: the only dead dragon alive. The enemy of Westeros (and the whole world) can say thank you to Jon Snow (sorry, Aegon Targaryen) and Daenerys. Without the unsuccessful attempt to recover an undead to convince Cersei to join the grand coalition, he would never have been able to recover the dragon and cross the Wall. Or, we would have been entitled to one more season.

The wall fell and the Army of the Night began to invade the North. “You are 100,000! Bruno Retailleau, leader of the LR senators, shouted at the episode and thought back to Francois Fillon’s campaign. In short, the second Long night will soon be here. Who survived the fall of the Wall? During the last episode, we saw Tormund the boss of the savages and friend of Jon Snow, and Beric Dondarrion, with his fire sword, scream in despair and try to evacuate the troops. We shudder for their health. And then we think that the writers could not have killed them like that. Or else everything goes crazy.

There remains one question: where is the army of the dead headed? Winterfell? And one last anxiety: how fast are they?

In Winterfell, the pack is reforming

“There must always be a Stark in Winterfell,” says the adage. But, taken treacherously by Theon Greyjoy, the northern citadel saw his lords escape from season 2! And it was not until the end of season 6 and the bloody bastard battle between Jon Snow and Ramsay Bolton that a Stark turned his back on Winterfell. Or rather two. Sansa Stark and Jon Snow, the latter having been appointed, is proclaimed King of the North by the lords of the North and Val d’Arryn. But Jon is busy saving the world from north to south of Westeros, it is Sansa who holds the reins of the family castle, advised by Lord Bealish more and more insistent …

In season 7, Winterfell will see the other Stark survivors coming back: first Bran, brought from beyond the wall by Meera Reed, who explains to Sansa that he can no longer be lord of Winterfell. But as a three-eyed crow, he has the ability to see any past or present event, which he proves by referring to a fact that he should ignore: Sansa’s rape.

Then Arya, who temporarily stopped naming names on her list of people to kill, to find her own. The joy of reunion between sisters, however, gives way quickly to mutual mistrust and icy looks. The younger Stark, who is also suspicious of Petyr Baelish’s maneuvers, discovers in fact, while searching his room, the parchment that her sister Sansa had sent, under the constraint of the Lannisters, to ask her brother Robb to submit to Joffrey Baratheon . Arya then accuses her sister of treason. Episode after episode, the tension rises between the two sisters, largely fueled by Littlefinger who still hopes to take advantage of the situation. “Chaos is a ladder,” is not it? Arya is finally summoned by her big sister for what looks like a lawsuit for treason … But at the last moment, Sansa returns the accusation against Baelish, who is immediately executed by Arya. As Ned Stark said, “The lone wolf dies, the pack survives. “

At the very end of season 7, Samwell Tarly also joins the Stark Castle, a rallying point for all the “good guys” of the series. There he meets Bran and they discover together that the true identity of Jon Snow is Aegon Targaryen, legitimate heir to the Iron Throne.

Winterfell is now waiting for the return of his King

Jon Snow and Daenerys are in a boat. And, for now, nobody falls in the water. After a stop in Port-Real, to try to convince Cersei of the urgency of a coalition against white walkers, the two heroes, now allies, sail north to face the King of the night (we do not speak here Michou but the leader of the walkers, now in possession of a resurrected dragon …). On the way, the fire and the ice, as Melisandre, the red witch, calls them, will soon take action in the cabin of Daenerys. A scene interspersed with revelations that make genealogy’s honorary members pale. We learn that Jon Snow is not the illegitimate son of Ned Stark, but the child that his sister, Lyanna Stark, had with Rhaegar Targaryen, who is none other than Daenerys’ older brother. Which, suddenly, invites us to take another look at these bodies in celebration: in fact, in bed, it is well tata and his nephew …

As often, Tyrion, who is also part of the journey, understood what was going on between the curly hero and the mother of the dragons. He himself has other things to do: after having tried to negotiate with his sister Cersei, more piqued than ever, and to convince her to join the Daenerys camp, he miraculously emerged alive from this rather tense interview. To the point that some wonder if he would have been, in fine, manipulated by his nasty big sister — who, once again, manipulated her world and lied when she said she would send her army to the North … The one who is now the “hand” of Daenerys, her closest adviser, would he not also be a traitor in power?

After a lot of turnovers, the master of the whisperers, Varys, has — at the latest news — joined the Daenerys team and vogue, with the little troop, towards Winterfell. The latest news, if he believes Melisandra, he already knows how all this will end for him: the witch has indeed predicted that he would return to die in Westeros. In the meantime, let us bet that he will have had time to exercise his power of nuisance.

Jaime en route to the North, far from Cercei For the inseparable twins of Westeros, Cersei and Jaime Lannister, who reign supreme on Port-Réal, the season 7 is that of the break. The queen, who is expecting a new child to rule the capital of Seven Crowns, no longer listens to her brother, and is not ready to compromise with her sworn enemies, even in the face of the threat of white marchers the North Wall. Jaime let him be convinced by his brother Tyrion, allied with the Stark and Targaryen, the danger that lurks in the world of the living if all the noble houses do not join forces with the army of the dead. He does not want to remain barricaded in Port-Réal and wants to put an end to the wars between quarrelsome houses while a major conflict is preparing in the North.

The former Lord Commander of the Royal Guard watches with suspicion the new alliance forged by his sister with the cruel king of the Iron Islands, Euron Greyjoy to whom she promised marriage. “If the North falls, we fall too”: Jaime remembers in vain to Cersei, who had nevertheless promised the King of the North and Daenerys Targaryen troops to prepare for the Great War. “I always knew that you were the most stupid Lannister,” his sister replies in one of the last scenes of the final episode of season 7. Cersei accuses Jaime of “treason”, even threat of to kill by using the blade of the Mountain in case of desertion, but the ounce of humanity which remains to him prevents him from making disappear the father of his future child. Jaime spins without turning around. Here he rides north to honor his oath and to strike a new alliance, far from Cersei, but closer to the dead.

Cersei exudes the desire for revenge. The current queen spent the season 7 punishing all those who betrayed her: Ellaria Sand and her daughters, Yara Greyjoy and Olenna Tyrell — who still had the privilege of choosing the way to die. Although she assured Tyrion, Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen of her support in the fight against the White Walkers, Cersei confessed to Jaime that she especially expects her enemies to decimate each other. In the end, she will face the one who remains. And she is prepared. On the one hand, the money stolen from the house Tyrell, on the other the mercenaries of the Golden Company, she sent Euron Greyjoy to seek at Essos. But the finale of “Game of Thrones” is also an opportunity to see if the theory of Maggy the Frog, who predicted the death of Cersei by “hands” of “Valonqar” (“little brother”), is true. Who is he ? Tyrion, who has always hated his elder? Jaime, who has just turned his back on his selfishness? Or her own child who would kill her in childbirth?

Chased from the north by Jon Snow, who discovered that she had sacrificed Princess Shôren to the flames, Melisandre of Asshai, left for Volantis. But during her stop in Peyredragon, she warned that she would come back to Westeros to die … So we guess that the role of the red priestess R’hllor is not completed. Will her prophecies come true? Will she have to bring a hero back to life again? Will she know the reincarnation of Azor Ahai?
