And after watching, \u201cThe Long Night\u201d, a lot of them might be feeling pretty smug. After a relatively tame first two episodes, the 82-minute long spectacle gave GoT fans a dose of what propelled the show into must-see TV in the first place &#8211; the gruesome and unpredictable deaths of their most beloved characters.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Warning, spoilers ahead!<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It hasn\u2019t been a great weekend if you&#8217;re an ardent lover of fantasy franchises. Fans had just barely begun to recover from the trauma of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avengers: Endgame<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, when <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Game of Thrones<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> dropped its <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/game-of-thrones-season-8-winterfell\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">much-awaited<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> third episode. An hour and a half-long roller coaster ride of emotions, S08E03 manages to encapsulate the visceral, edge-of-your-seat combat sequences from \u201cThe Battle of Bastards\u201d with the mass culling of main characters associated with \u201cThe Red Wedding\u201d, leaving you reaching for the tissue box. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While a few foresaw the deaths online, not many expected Westeros\u2019 most eerie Laal Dupatte Wali, Mellisandre, to make a comeback. The Red Priestess\u2019 return remained the first true shocker in the episode, as she egged on the Dothraki forces to charge ahead and fight the Night King&#8217;s army, giving them magically <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/humour\/introverts-guide-surviving-party-quiet-shy-noise-dance\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lit af<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> swords, just because. The Dothraki were, however, thwarted by the wights pretty easily. Undead: 1, Humans: 0. Ser Jorah and the remaining Dothraki retreated back to Westeros faster than Pakistani forces fled post-Jackie Shroff\u2019s appearance in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/border-sunny-deol-akshay-khanna-suniel-shetty-jackie-shroff-j-p-dutta\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Border<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At this point, Jon and Khaleesi Bua joined in on the action. As expected, Dragon Amma flew down, Dracarys-ed up the place, serving up tan-tana-nana tandoori wights as if her war cry was \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/bollywood\/uri-film-review-vicky-kaushal-indian-army-modi-election\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How\u2019s The Ghosht?<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d But eventually, both Jon and Dany get caught up in what looks like part-snowstorm, part-90s Ramsay brothers title sequence. By now, I had spent most of my time adjusting the brightness on my laptop, because I legit thought there was something wrong with my screen. It\u2019s one of the darkest episodes GoT has aired, which makes sense, but seriously, it\u2019s so dark it has to be careful it doesn\u2019t get pulled up by the LAPD.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The human army continues to get their asses handed to them, and eventually, even the second line of defence against the Night King&#8217;s army begins to retreat. Their plan to set fire to the trenches around Winterfell isn\u2019t exactly working. You\u2019d imagine an army fighting literal ice-zombies would have accounted for frozen trenches, but, hey, who needs to thaw ice when you have Mellisandre, amirite? <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/satire\/arre-checklist-bandra-babe-how-to-guide-satire\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Homegir<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">l can simply use her clout with the Lord of Light to barbeque those pesky Wights.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a ring of fire surrounds Winterfell, the undead are kept at bay, for now. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/watch\/?v=1950487768540763\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aunty Dany<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and Bhateeja No 1 by this point are embroiled in a mid-air dragon brawl with the Night King. Eventually, Jon manages to buck the Night King off his not-so-trusty steed and abandons his own crashing dragon so fast, it made <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/social-commentary\/abhinandan-varthaman-k-nachiketa-iaf-kargil-balakot-india-pakistan\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wing Commander Abhinandan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> proud.<\/span>\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\">With \u201cThe Long Night\u201d, the makers have put out a very strong message for the last three episodes: Let\u2019s Make Thrones Great Again.<\/blockquote>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Down in the castle, tragedy ensues as a giant Wight breaks in and destroys everything. Enter: the fiercest Lady of Bear Island and someone I\u2019d pay good money to see on <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kya Aap Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hai?<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Lyanna Mormont. In perhaps the most riveting sequence on the show in ages, YaasKween Lyanna challenges the undead giant, before getting crushed in its grip. Defiant to the very end though, she uses her last breath to stab the mammoth in its eye, taking it down with her. The universe collectively stans!<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Outside, Dany is trying to make herself a BBQ Night King, but alas, dragon fire is but a spa treatment for Icy Tiara Man. He simply squints his eyes as a subtle smile lights up his frozen, usually expressionless face (Arjun Rampal, take notes). Things get worse when the Night King wakes the fallen dead to build another wave of Wights and all integral characters like Ser Jorah (sigh! RIP, sweet mayor of the friendzone), Lord Commander Dolorous Edd, and a redeemed Theon Greyjoy among others meet their eventual demise. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s also not a good time to be Bran Stark. Westeros\u2019 own part-Anand Bhai from <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Munnabhai MBBS<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and part-Don Salamanca from <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Breaking Bad<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the youngest Stark seems to be staring at his death as the Night King gets ready to stab him with its ice dagger. Before we delve into what happened next, let&#8217;s take a minute to talk about Arya Stark.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s no denying Arya Stark\u2019s claim as the most badass resident of Westeros. She\u2019s an underdog who saw her father\u2019s beheading, has risen against all obstacles, and avenged those who wronged her and her family. So it was doubly special to watch the little Easter eggs that the show\u2019s makers dropped earlier in the episode, in the lead up to one of Arya\u2019s character-defining moments. The foreshadowing included interactions where Arya tells <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/game-of-thrones-season-7-sansa-stark-badass-sophie-turner\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sansa<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in her classic \u201cbehen-tu-rehne-de\u201d tone, to \u201cstick them with the pointy end\u201d, a reference from her training days in Season 1, as well as the way Arya uses the skills she learnt from the faceless men to distract and eventually escape the Wights baying for her blood.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But the greatest instance of foreshadowing came from Melisandre telling Arya, \u201cBrown eyes, green eyes, blue eyes. You\u2019ll shut them all\u201d, followed by asking her the familiar, \u201cWhat do we tell the Lord of Death? Not today\u201d quip. While Lord Frey could be the brown eyes and Cersei might well be the green, by the end of this episode, we certainly learn that the blue eyes in question belonged to the Night King. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arya steps in, literally out of nowhere, rescues Bran and kills the Night King. Seemingly, along with most of his army, including that god awful ice breathing dragon. A girl has slain the night king and it seems Winterfell will live to fight another day.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After eight seasons,\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/game-of-thrones-season-7-got-spoilers-fans\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GoT fans<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can blame all their trust issues on the show&#8217;s uncanny ability to kill off beloved characters. The unforgettable Ned Stark beheading, the heart-wrenching \u201cRed Wedding\u201d, and the shock of Oberyn\u2019s mind-blowing death in the Mountain and the Viper, are all moments that left us in shock. With \u201cThe Long Night\u201d, the makers have put out a very strong message for the last three episodes: Let\u2019s Make Thrones Great Again.<\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a relatively tame first two episodes, the 82-minute third Game of Thrones episode gave fans a dose of what propelled the show into must-see TV in the first place &#8211; the gruesome and unpredictable deaths of their most beloved characters.
