From the central premise of a large retinue arriving at Winterfell to individual shots, the whole episode gave the series a distinct feeling of coming full circle, something that will hopefully continue throughout this final season. The episode very deliberately rhymed with the series’ very first episode, which aired all the way back in 2011.

As for the Night King and all his White Walker pals, well, they turned to icicles.Game of Thrones returned with “Winterfell,” a season eight premiere that gave fans everything they could have wanted and more, a terrific start to the series’ final run of six episodes.Īfter the season seven finale “The Dragon and the Wolf” promised fans a final season that would collapse most of the action into two locations by moving most of Game of Thrones’ far-flung characters to Winterfell and King’s Landing, the season eight premiere did just that, then reveled in all the characters seeing each other again for the first time in literal years. Other main characters lost in the battle included Theon Greyjoy ( Alfie Allen), Lady Lyanna Mormont ( Bella Ramsey) and Edd ( Ben Crompton).

But you can't accept it because you're thinking, 'No, this can't be right. And there's always the thing of, 'We need you in to do a pick up.' So you never know, but it pretty much is once you get your little gift and David and Dan go, 'Thanks guys' – you know it's pretty much over. "Everybody just didn't think it was definitely over. But, Beric lost his life for the final time after being stabbed many times in the halls of Winterfell by the undead. Richard Dormer wielded the flaming sword of his character, helping to save Arya Stark ( Maisie Williams) and re-inspire a fire traumatized The Hound/Sandor Clegane ( Rory McCann). I didn't see it coming, but then, when they started the speech and I just – I just lost it," she told us.Īnother Episode 3 casualty was Beric Dondarrion. Van Houten also told Collider about the emotions of her series wrap day (though we don't know which scene was the last she shot). Melisandre died not at the hands of Davos Seaworth ( Liam Cunningham), but after the battle was over, removing her necklace, changing into her real age, and collapsing into the snow. She was involved in several of the episode's big moments, including lighting the Dothraki Arakhs on fire as the battle was set to begin, and lighting the trench around Winterfell when no one else could. And, so I felt very sad at the thought that it was now kind of - it was going to go away."Ĭarice Van Houten's Melisandre also returned – just as she promised Varys in Season 7 – before The Red Priestess met her end. So it's been a wonderful, wonderful journey. It's just cumulatively - over the course of the last decade - it's kind of seared into my bones and conscious, you know, this whole 'Thrones' extraordinary ride that we've been on that none of us knew where it was going to go. And I find it, yeah, all very overwhelming.

All the kind of principal cast got these lovely gifts of a framed section of a storyboard from a kind of critical scene that we'd done over the previous seasons with some lovely words of affection and thanks from Dan and David on the back and they gave a little speech. While we don't know which of the scenes filmed this season was Glen's last, he did tell Collider earlier this month about the emotions on his wrap day.
