SPOILER ALERT - Do not open this post if you have not watched Game of Thrones - Season 8, Episode 3 ...
27 word summary
The Night King didn't bring his A-game, not enough big characters died, and Cersei, having done sweet FA, probably has a red wine and popcorn hangover.
Who died?
You can never be 100%, but this list is taken from here and looks about right - or did one of the other dragons die too?
The Night King
Melisandre
Theon Greyjoy
Lyanna Mormont
Ser Jorah Mormont
Lord Beric Dondarrion
Edd Tollett a.k.a. Dolorous Edd (not part of 's contest list)
Viserion
Theon, volunteering to look after Bran in Gods Wood, with a light selection of arrows was my banker to not make it to episode 4. Nor did I fancy the chances of the Mormont's, but they did well in battle and went out in style.
Melisandre, The Red Witch, reappeared (ahead of the army of the dead) to help out a bit with some fire action, although those flames were quickly extinguished. Perhaps her best moment was reaffirming to Ayra that she was going to be a bad-ass and kill beings with eyes of many colours, including blue.
The Red Witch had seemingly gotten tired of reviving Lord Beric Dondarrion, but also did his bit by saving Ayra who had some important stuff to do later, like peace out The Night King!
Viserion, the Wighted dragon, also went down. It was 2 v 1 up there and so this was the bet for those playing the airborne odds.
Luckiest survivors?
At this point it was not looking good for anyone as Jon Snow staggered into Winterfell and saw the likes of Jamie Lannister and Brienne of Tarth taking beats, but the luckiest survivor award has to go to Sam Tarly who confirmed there is another way of killing Wights - suffocation.
Unofficial scoring for
's contest
Compiling contest entries is a pain in the arse, but as I have nothing better to do today, I've had a go at doing just that for 's 'who will live and who will die' - The Battle for Winterfell contest.
There were 41 valid entries with the category 'got-contest' in the first tag, and what follows is the full scoring. If you think I have your score wrong, let me know!
Based on the list of the dead from the link above, and my compilation of the contest entries, the top scores (which are not the final scores so look out for V's post!) are as follows:
| Skilled GOT 'live or die' predictor account | Score |
|---|---|
| 31 | |
| 30 | |
| 29 | |
| 29 | |
| 29 |
Not official results but it's looking good for BT!
Finally
What a night for Ayra, the undoubted star of episode 3. Taking out The Night King, and prior to that, losing her V-plates. But why the worried look?
I cannot wait until next week! Will there be calm before the next storm? Are we going to get to see some action in daylight?
Free to play, winner(s) get respect and maybe an up-vote.
