This week’s episode of Game of Thrones, “The Spoils of War,” gave us one of the most
thrilling onscreen battles in the show’s history. We got to see Dothraki take on Lannisters, Jaime versus a dragon, and Bronn manning a superweapon (that the show has finally named “the Scorpion”).
But I don’t need to tell you! You were there! You watched the episode. You’ve probably watched the episode again already! You know that the cave drawings on Dragonstone form a concrete link between the Children of the Forest and the geometric patterns the White Walkers like to arrange dead people, uh, in. (YOU CAUGHT THAT, RIGHT? IT’S A BIG DEAL AND IT’S CONFIRMED IN THE OFFICIAL POST-SHOW BREAKDOWN.) You caught a whiff of the sexual chemistry between Jon and (his aunt) Daenerys. You knew that Arya’s return was a callback to Homer’s The Odyssey! You are a Game of Thrones pro which means not much escaped you during last night’s big premiere…or did it?
Did you catch Noah Syndergaard’s big cameo? Do you know the super lame official name for last night’s battle? Did you catch why Littlefinger’s blood ran cold when he was with Bran last night? No? Don’t worry! We got you covered. Here are five things you may have missed from last night’s episode of Game of Thrones.
