Game of Thrones Season 8 Deaths of Episode 5, Who Died?

May 14, 2019 by Ydraft Editors Leave a Comment

“Dracarys” and everything done! Episode 5 was the most intense episode of Game of Thrones. This is most bloodiest episode of Game of Thrones history so far, full of deaths.

Despite from the 1000s of innocent citizens and soldiers, here’s the look of some major deaths of episode 5 of Game of Thrones Season 8.

Varys

This was the last episode for Varys, he was burnt alive by mother of dragon. Tyrion tells Daenerys about Varys’ betrayal. We see Daenerys is in a bad state; bags under her eyes, frazzled hair, looking sickly. Times are bad. Daenerys says Jon and Tyrion are both also at fault. Jon, against Daenerys’ orders, told Sansa about his true identity, and Tyrion, once hearing it from Sansa, told Varys.

Thankfully for Tyrion, the punishment wasn’t doled out evenly. He got a stern talking to (“the next time you fail me will be the last time you fail me”) while Varys got execution by fire. He was led from his quarters by the Unsullied to Dragonstone’s shores, where he was sentenced to die. Varys tells Tyrion he hopes he’s wrong about Daenerys, then Drogon gets his dracarys on.

Euron Greyjoy

No one ever supposed he will died like this. The scene was putted forcely, just to cover the length of episode.

When city was falling, Jaime Lannister was racing to find Cersei Lannister. On his way, Euron confronted him, whose fleet had just been Drogon’d. He asks Jaime if he wants to try and kill another king before they all die, but Jaime isn’t interested. Then Euron mentioned that he slept with Cersei and it was immediately on.

The two scuffled, and Euron stabbed Jaime twice in the ribs. It looked like ye’ ol’ Kingslayer was a goner, but he got his second wind and impaled Euron against a rock.

Qyburn

How can we forget the hand of Cersei, who died in a extremely funny and intense situation. When Cersei, he, Ser Gregor Clegane and a bunch of guards, was running down a staircase as the walls and ceilings were falling. It’s around this time that they’re confronted by Sandor Clegane.

It. Is. Clegane. Bowl. Time.

Sandor wants Gregor. Gregor wants Sandor. Gregor advances. Qyburn tries to restrain him, telling him to stay by the Queen. Gregor grabs him and, with little more than a flick of the wrist, flings him several feet. Qyburns head smashes against a wall and then smashes open against some jagged stairs.

Cersei promptly exited as inconspicuously as possible.

Sandor Clegane, Gregor Clegane

Cleganebowl finally happened, and it was glorious. Gregor started with the high ground, but it was an even match. The two clung swords together. Gregor was stronger but Sandor faster. Our sweet Hound looked to have won when he stabbed The Mountain clean in the gut, but Gregor was unperturbed.

But Gregor is literally invincible?

Gregor beats down Sandor with his massive, genetically-enhanced fists. He strangles his little brother against the wall. Sandor pulls out a dagger and pokes holes into Gregor to no avail. Nothing hurts The Big Guy. Gregor lifts Sandor and tries to split his skull Oberyn Martell-style. Before he can manage it, though, Sandor puts his dagger through Gregor’s right eye.

Gregor stumbles back and seems to be injured. But he then stabilizes himself and starts pulling the dagger out like it’s nothing. The Hound isn’t having it, and tackles his older brother through the wall. The two fall several hundred feet into a pit of Drogon fire.

Rest in power, Hound. Rest in power.

Jaime and Cersei

We earlier mentioned about their death and the whole situation, the fact is Jaime wants to live with her and die with her. Both born together and both died together.

While escaping from the building they reached the end but the gate was filled with bricks and they were not able to surpass.

They embrace. Cersei says she wants their child to live. Jaime says they’re all that matters. The ceiling falls on top of them.

They shared a womb, now they share a tomb.

Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 5: Born Together, Die Together *Spoilers*

May 13, 2019 by Ydraft Editors Leave a Comment

Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 5: Born Together, Die Together: The second last episode of Game of Thrones Season 8 has been aired. Lots of unexpected things happened in tonight’s episode.

**Spoiler Ahead from the episode 5**

Basically, it was anticipated Daenerys Targaryen will become the Mad Queen in episode and will burn the whole city. Yes, she turns into Mad Queen and burnt the whole city.

It was also believed that Jamie will killed the Cersei but nothing happens like that instead Jaime came from North to South, just to save Cersei.

And he was caught by the Daenerys guards in middle but Tyrion came to the tent and released him and told him that he want to stop the fight and 1000s of westeros.

Tyrion also told him to ring the bell, in simple words “the sign to stop the battle”.

Later on next day, the war has been already started and Dany killed more than half of Lannister’s army.

Somehow the bell rings but Dany didn’t stopped and started burning the whole city and it’s innocent people and of course the Cersei’s private apartment.

She was tried to escape from the building and in the middle she finds Jaime. They hugged together both reached the end of the building but door was filled with bricks.

Cersei said, “Don’t let me die Jaime, don’t let me die please!”

They saw their time has come, both hugged each other and Jaime final words, “Nothing else has matter, nothing else! Only us.”

And the building fell.!!!

The meaning of this is that both born together, and now they’re dies together!

Stay tuned more  coming!

Game of Thrones: Will Daenerys Become The Mad Queen in Episode 5?

May 12, 2019 by Ydraft Editors Leave a Comment

We are down to two episodes and the final season on it’s end. This whole season didn’t impacted audience like other previous seasons and why not?

**Warning: Spoilers from episode 3 and 4**

We are watching Winter is coming… Winter is coming… from first season, when winters came in season 8, ends up in less than 92 minutes.

Episode 3 “The Battle of Winterfell” was extremely instance and epic, but how Night King was killed with one shot was disappointing. Fans already shows their disagreement and almost everybody hates that ending.

Episode four contains nothing but the death of two characters. At first, when Daenerys Targaryen and her army on the way to south on ships.

Gray Worm and Missandei

Somewhere from the sea, Euron Greyjoy came attack on them and Daenerys loses her another dragon “Rhaegal” and they destroyed all Daenerys ships and probably some closest allies.

Raegon Killed by Euron

In the attack, Euron took the Missandei. In the last minutes of episode, Tyrion and Qyburn negotiating with each other, where Tyrion said, “Queen Daenerys demands Cersei’s unconditional surrender and immediate release of Missandei of Naath” and in return Qyburn replied, “Queen Cersei demands Daenery’s unconditional surrender, if she refuses Missandei of Naath will die here and now”.

Qyburn and Tyrion Negotiating

Both sides plays their outstanding moves, but Tyrion’s diplomacy fails and Missandei dies.

One thing worth noticing that, when Cersei told Missandei, “if you have any last word, now has the time”.

Then Missandei just said one word, “Dracarys”. We have seen a lot of time Dany says this word, when she was going to burn anything with her dragons.

Missandei Says Dracarys
Missandei Says Dracarys (HBO)

The word Dracarys means, dragonfire.

After that, Daenerys Targaryen got away from anger, and why not she loses almost everything.

And there are lot more reasons why she could be a Mad Queen; like when Varys and Tyrion discussing for the right candidate of Iron Throne between Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen, where Varys expresses that he is opposed her to sit on Iron Throne and suggests Jon Snow for that because she can become the Mad Queen. At a point, Tyrion also agreed with his thoughts but he said, “what if both Jon and Dany sit on Iron Throne as a king and Queen”.

Tyrion and Varys Talking

Varys opposed this thought because he believes she will take all control on her hand, like she did at the time of North.

Well, there are lots of sign that proves that she will become the Mad Queen and burn the whole city. But who knows, what actually going to happened in today’s episode?

Let us know you thoughts at @ThYdraft what you think about second last episode?

Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 5 Preview, Meaning of “Dracarys”

May 11, 2019 by Ydraft Editors 1 Comment

**Spoilers ahead from last episodes**

The final battle of Game of Thrones has been started, Cersei commands powerful defenses in King’s Landing. Meanwhile Daenerys has suffered a lot; the death two dragons, Missandei, and closest allies are almost dead now. Let’s take a look at what’s coming in the 5th episode of Game of Thrones this Sunday.

“Three little Soldier boys walking in the zoo;

A big bear hugged one and then there were two.

Two little Soldier boys playing with a gun;

One shot the other and then there was One.

One little Soldier boy left all alone;

He went out and hanged himself and then there were none.”

We are down to just two episodes of Game of Thrones. Yes, two episode and 160 minutes, so, we can comfort ourselves and pretend that there are three remaining, even if it’s a lie.

We have had such mixed feelings this year. The very first episode was rather superior. The next episode was better, drawing together so a number of our favourite characters and offering them genuinely wonderful moments together, such as the knighting of Ser Brienne (Gwendoline Christie) from Ser Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau).

And though the third episode and also the Battle of Winterfell was quite divisive and contentious for a whole number of reasons, I enjoyed it tremendously (while at exactly the exact same time wishing we had had more time to expand the Night King battle).

But last Sunday’s episode aired, and I was left feeling initially overwhelmed with the sheer quantity of things that only happened, afterward –the longer I thought about it–increasingly more frustrated and frustrated. It had been over the stray coffee cup made near Daenerys on a desk in Winterfell. The episode proved to be a wreck in more ways than I care to list here you can read the preceding connection for all my griping, or hear our most recent podcast in the bottom of the post.

Will the series ending in an unsatisfying method? Nobody can say, however, I am definitely worried. I am still eagerly anticipating this coming Sunday’s episode, but the fear is that there, also.

So let us see the trailer for Sunday’s episode and look at all of the images HBO has published and chat about exactly what they mean and what they might portend.

So there is no talking in this one. Just people standing about looking gloomy or smug.

In Dragonstone, Tyrion tactics Daenerys rather fearfully, like he could tell something is very, very wrong with her.

Outside the walls Jon, Davos and Tyrion stand one of their own troops. Jon appears too severe as ever. There is the Iron Fleet outside in Blackwater Bay. Euron swaggers out on the deck of one of those ships.

Then there is Tyrion again, now at a dimly lit hallway somewhere, looking concerned still. We see the Golden Company marching through the streets, and Grey Worm with ideas of vengeance dance in his mind.

We see guys loading one of those magic dragon-slaying ballista, afterward Euron holding his hands over his eyes to blot out the sun as he looks up, way up, and we hear a dragon’s shout.

Much preparing for conflict in this one, however I guess a lot of the incident itself will be included of this struggle, and of all horrors ensue as Daenerys takes the town –and I don’t have any doubt she will choose the town, and at great cost to everyone.

Jon and Varys
Jon and Varys (HBO)

Here we can see Jon (Kit Harrington) and Varys (Conleth Hill) presumably landing at Dragonstone, even though it might be any gray shore. I wonder whether Varys is daring enough to whisper treason into Jon. That sounds a fairly foolish move especially before the war. I think Jon should haven’t told anyone about his true lineage before later Cersei has been defeated, however here we are. Another casualty of hurrying things to a finish.

The queen
The queen (HBO)

Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) seems to maintain the castle in Dragonstone and blob of darkness in the foreground looks like Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) for me personally, but I am not sure. He is probably advising her to become temperate in her attack and she’s almost definitely saying something about the way Cersei should go, the Iron Throne is hers at whatever the price, Missandei (Nathalie Emmanuel) stated “Dracarys” so it is time to burn off some suckers. Advising Daenerys Targaryen isn’t a simple job, especially since she has grown more obstinate and jealous and decided.

Euron
Euron (HBO)

We have a concept that perhaps Euron (Pilou Asbæk) are the one to kill Cersei. He’s a small brother, after all, not her small brother. Either he or she has burnt up nice and toasty when Daenerys exacts her barbarous revenge on the Iron Fleet, however she’ll figure out how to do this when each boat has a giant magic ballista and all she has is a warrior that is ancestral, I am not very convinced. Euron is a goner, no matter. He will not live past this particular episode.

Jon and Davos
Jon and Davos (HBO)

Davos (Liam Cunningham) has been to one King’s Landing battle already, at the Battle of the Blackwater where he lost his sons. I am convinced it is the most pleasant spot to come back, however he’d sneak in with Gendry last year as a portion of the ridiculous wight plot. The image at the very top of the article adds Tyrion, thus we may safely say he lived whatever occurs in Dragonstone and can be there prepared to give his wits in battle.

Go and provide that picture another appearance (along with the one using the Golden Company under ). My query is this: Why would these cousins keep sending guys beyond the walls instead of simply forcing the enemy to strike? Jon and Dany’s forces could have a hell of a time climbing those partitions –why squander troops battling them ? Ah well. Tactics are not this display’s strong suit.

Cersei
Cersei (HBO)

Cersei (Lena Headey) is looking quite smug and pleased with herself here. Is it fond reminisces over just how smooth the Mountain’s blade lopped off Missandei’s head? Or has she procured some new victory? Or is she just a little bit mad and taking all of this in stride, as some sport… a few… game of thrones, perhaps.

Tyrion
Tyrion (HBO)
Grey Worm
Grey Worm (HBO)

It seems like both Tyrion and Grey Worm (Jacob Anderson) are at precisely the exact same hall, likely both talking with Dany and possibly also Jon and many others. I wonder should Grey Worm will advocate Dany to be barbarous and spare no one? He has not given up remarks much previously, however he’ll still be profoundly influenced by Missandei’s dreadful passing, so who knows?

This would be Harry Strickland (Marc Rissmann) the leader of the Golden Company sellswords who, presumably, will fight for Cersei since she’s the one paying them. The whole business is much more complicated in the books, but there’s really no point speculating on any of that since the show and books are so far diverged at this point. It’s possible the Golden Company will vastly tilt the power balance in Cersei’s favor, but it’s also possible surprise allies (like the Dornish) might show up to tilt the scales back toward Dany and Jon.

I guess the remaining questions are:

  • Will Cersei survive? I get the feeling she won’t, and that King’s Landing will be taken (burned badly in the process) and Cersei and her lieutenants slain. Like the battle against the Night King, I think this one will be resolved this week.
  • That leaves us with no clear villains, suggesting to me that the final episode will be the conflict between Daenerys and whoever remains loyal to her, and . . . everybody else. The show hasn’t really earned this conflict, to be honest, so I really hope that it pays off.
  • Will Drogon survive? This one is harder. If he dies, he’s going to do a ton of damage first. But surviving would be more interesting, as it would ensure that Dany remains enormously powerful if there is a final conflict.
  • What will come of the conspirators? Presumably Varys is going to make a move, though it might not happen until the final episode. I don’t think he’ll make it. He’s rushing this whole thing in a big way. He served the Mad King, he served Robert the Fat, he served Joffrey, and he managed to serve them all more faithfully than he’s serving Daenerys who is the least bad of them of all.
  • What will Arya and the Hound do? I suspect they make their way into the Red Keep and we get a confrontation with the Mountain. I’m not sure it will be the Cleganebowl many suspect. I think both brothers are goners, but Arya survives. I don’t think she’ll kill Cersei, however. Maybe she’ll slip away never to be seen again.
  • Jaime will almost certainly arrive and find his way to Cersei, maybe to kill her or maybe to watch her be killed. Maybe he’ll kill Euron? I don’t think he’s going back to be with Cersei, however, but he may be going back to try to save her in order to save their baby.

Fingers crossed let us know at @TheYdraft what you think about this? Read more about Game of Thrones here!

Game of Throne Season 8 Jaime Plan to Kill Cersei in Episode 5, Here’s Why

May 11, 2019 by Ydraft Editors Leave a Comment

Game of Throne Season 8 Jaime Plan to Kill Cersei in Episode 5: In the fourth episode of Game of Thrones’ eighth season, one of the most startling moments in an episode full of them came when Jaime Lannister left Brienne to travel to King’s Landing, shortly after the two finally consummated their slow-burning romance.

“The Last of the Starks” saw Jaime initially plan to stay with Brienne in Winterfell — a pretty huge decision for him, considering his not-so-harmonious past relationship with some of Winterfell’s residents. But then Jaime and Tyrion received a visit from their old frenemy Bronn, who showed up to threaten them with a crossbow because Cersei has put a price on both their heads. Bronn negotiated with the pair, agreeing to accept two swank castles in exchange for their lives. And then next thing we knew, Jaime was cruelly leaving Brienne in the dead of night, offering up his own spin on that old breakup classic, “It’s not you, it’s me.”

In their goodbye scene, Jaime explains to Brienne that for most of his life, his primary motivation has been to return to Cersei’s side — and that’s why he’s chosen to leave Brienne now. Even more heartbreakingly, per the episode’s director, David Nutter, Jaime coldly informs Brienne, “I don’t love you anymore,” as the camera focuses on her face, though we don’t hear him say this. Her tearful reaction upon hearing it is what we see onscreen as Jaime rides away.

https://youtu.be/38IxUwMSEtg

Setting aside what sounds like a pretty sadistic approach from Nutter in terms of how the scene was filmed, Jaime and Brienne’s exchange contains a lot of implications for Jaime Lannister himself. He tells Brienne raggedly that he has to return to Cersei because “she’s hateful — and so am I.” But what does that mean? Is he going back to join her because he misses her, or because they’re two of a kind? Is he going to try to reason with her before she does anything to hurt his new comrades from the North, who are already traveling south to kill her? Is he going to try to defend Cersei by fighting against them?

When I first viewed this scene, Jaime’s motivation seemed obvious to me: He’s going back to King’s Landing not to reunite with Cersei, but to kill her. However, after talking to other Game of Thrones viewers in the days since the episode aired, I’ve realized there is by no means a general public consensus on what Jaime’s plans are.

With that said, there are plenty of clues we can pick up from Game of Thrones itself about what’s to come. I stan a conflicted, redeemed, self-loathing hero, not an incestuous fuckboi, so for anyone in doubt, here are all the reasons I’m confident that Jaime will try to kill Cersei.

1) Jaime initially left Cersei because he’s seen how sociopathic she’s become

When Jaime left Cersei to ride north in the season seven finale, he did so for a number of legitimate reasons. Not only did Cersei fail to tell him in advance that she was planning to lie about sending support to the north, she also failed to tell him that Euron Greyjoy was in on the plot — and that Euron was still looking to marry her. She also accused Jaime of conspiring against her with Tyrion, and told him he’d be committing treason if he joined the fight against the White Walkers. All of this underlines just how much the couple’s once-solid relationship has deteriorated.

Crucially, right before Jaime left, he pleaded with Cersei to recognize that she’s lost all her allies except for him — but she rejected that idea too. “I’m the only one you have left,” he told her.

“There’s one more yet to come,” she replied, referencing either Euron’s return from Essos or their unborn child, who may or may not exist. Both options would be bad news for Jaime, and it’s clear that Cersei thinks — or is least is acting as if — she no longer needs or wants Jaime in her life.

It’s important to remember just how frustrating that conversation was for Jaime. As it unfolded, we saw him realize just how despotic Cersei had become, and how willing she was to betray or throw over anyone and everyone who might challenge her quest for power. None of his appeals to her humanity caused her to even flinch — not even his reminder that their unborn child could be vulnerable to the then-impending threat of the army of the dead.

While he was trying to get her to care about saving all of civilization, she was thinking about how to take out one of Dany’s dragons. Jaime had hoped that now that Cersei had the throne, they might finally build a happy life together. Instead, she showed him just how thoroughly her entire focus had shifted staying in power.

And delusional, single-minded power grabs? Well, that’s just not something Jaime — the man who killed a king because the king was planning to destroy the whole city — is here for.

2) Hello, he just learned that she hired Bronn to kill him

The scene before Jaime leaves Winterfell involves him finding out that Cersei has sent Bronn to kill both him and Tyrion. Not only does she send Bronn, but she sends him — hilariously — with the same giant crossbow that Tyrion used to kill their father, Tywin, at the end of season four. The message Cersei is sending is that she views both brothers as having betrayed her and the Lannister name.

Cersei couldn’t bring herself to kill Jaime when he left her in King’s Landing in season seven. So somewhere in his mind, up until now, he’s probably been telling himself that she still has at least a smattering of love in her heart for him. But sending Bronn, a man who’s saved both Tyrion and Jaime’s lives repeatedly, with the giant traitor weapon is the kind of gleeful cruelty that Jaime knows Cersei tends to reserve for her worst enemies.

So when he decides directly after his encounter with Bronn to abandon Brienne and the happiness they’ve just found together to ride back into Cersei’s lair, he’s probably not doing it with the expectation that Cersei will welcome him with open arms.

3) Cersei may have nothing left to care about except power — and Jaime may have figured that out

Cersei’s supposed pregnancy has been a source of confusion for many viewers. For starters, at the beginning of season five, we saw young Cersei receiving a prophecy from a witch, who told her she would have only three children, each of whom has already died. Though there’s some indication that the pregnancy, which she learned about at the end of season seven, was a real thing — and that Jaime was the father — season eight has seen her tell Euron the baby is his, while also drinking wine, from which she’d abstained when she appeared to believe she was pregnant.

Whether or not Cersei’s pregnancy is real, all of this spells bad news for Jaime. When he left Cersei to go fight the army of the dead at the end of season seven, Jaime clearly believed Cersei would never kill the father of her unborn son. So when Bronn showed up in “The Last of the Starks” with marching orders (and the promise of cash) from Cersei to off both Tyrion and Jaime, it was probably a clear signal to Jaime that the status of Cersei’s pregnancy has changed. (However, it’s interesting, given the fact that the two brothers were together in this scene, that Tyrion clearly still believed Cersei was pregnant when he pleaded for Missandei’s life.)

From Jaime’s point of view, Cersei hiring Bronn to kill him could mean that she lied about being pregnant to begin with, or that she’s since had a miscarriage. Either way, Jaime understands better than anyone that with no future child in the picture, there really is nothing Cersei cares about at this point except holding on to the throne and striking down all her enemies, which makes her a threat to, well, everyone.

4) There’s a prophecy in the books — one the show has referenced — that says Cersei will die at the hands of her younger brother

The aforementioned prophecy was given to Cersei by a witch named Maggy the Frog. Maggy the Frog also appears in George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire novels, on which the series is based — and in the books, the prophecy is more extensive than what we saw heard of it in season five’s opening episode, “The Wars to Come.”

In Martin’s novel A Feast for Crows, Maggy delivers a prophecy about Cersei becoming queen; she also foretells that Cersei will have three children. That part is repeated practically word for word on the TV show:

But on the show, the scene ends before Maggy’s last sentence in the book, which is, “And when your tears have drowned you, the valonqar shall wrap his hands about your pale white throat and choke the life from you.”

“Valonqar” is a High Valyrian word meaning “little brother.” Cersei has clearly always interpreted this prophecy to mean that Tyrion will kill her, and it definitely explains her longstanding hatred and mistrust of him. But Jaime is also her younger brother. Though they’re twins, Cersei is the elder — and that means Jaime could also be a candidate for the job. Additionally, Cersei probably isn’t thinking about Jaime as her potential killer, which makes her more likely to fall victim to him, as she would no one else.

So there you have it: a pretty strong case that Jaime riding off not to bask in Cersei’s arms, but to attempt to do what no one else can: remove her from the throne once and for all.

But if you’re anticipating a joyous reunion between Jaime and Brienne after he’s killed Cersei, not so fast.

The fact that Nutter had Jaime tell Brienne he no longer loves her when directing “The Last of the Starks” is a clear indication that Jaime believes he won’t be seeing her again, which means he’s probably anticipating a hell of a fight to get to his sister. (Remember, she’s protected by the Zombie Mountain.) That means that by the time he makes his way to Cersei and is able to deliver the fatal wound, he could well be wounded himself.

You may remember that he once told Bronn (in season five’s fourth episode, “Sons of the Harpy”) that he wished to die “in the arms of the woman I love.” It seems he may, ironically, be getting that wish granted far sooner, and under different circumstances, than he’d hoped.
