Drogon is NOT happy but We are!

HBO’s longest running show, Game of Thrones returned after a long and agonizing wait of 595 days and within hours of the release, netizens came up expressing their happiness over expected and awkward reunions and quite hilariously, memes on Bran Stark’s looming presence. Do not read further if you haven’t watched the episode yet.

The first episode is primarily set in Winterfell, with the arrival of Queen Daenerys and her army along with Jon Snow amidst stubborn Northerners, who aren’t ready to accept an outsider with two dragons. Jon and Bran’s reunion is cut short, with Bran elaborating the fate of Viserion. A good amount of friction is shown between Daenerys and the lords of the North, who question Jon regarding his sudden decision. Perhaps the most breath-taking sequence in the entire episode is Daenerys and Jon flying the dragons over the beautiful wintry landscape of Iceland. Ironically, Bran urges Samwell Tarly to tell Jon the truth about his identity just after his romantic moment with Daenerys.

Reunions make up for most of the episode. Jon is elated to see Bran and Arya and Tyrion appreciates Sansa’s strong willpower. Perhaps the funniest, yet most important ‘reunion’ was between Bran and Jaime, whose arrival the former refers to as ‘I am waiting for an old friend’. The fleeting preparations of war are also shown, with Winterfell now an army base camp and Gendry already at work for making dragon glass weapons.

Cersei, on the other hand, is disappointed with the small amount of army she has acquired and also plots to kill her brothers, who left her with a single ally, Euron Greyjoy. Tormund and the remaining Night’s watch face a serious dilemma and threat near the wall.

The teaser for the second episode is already out and fans are biting their nails to see what fate their favorite characters face. The next episode will be streaming on Hotstar on 22 April at 6:30 am (IST).
