The cast and crew then spent several exhausting months lying to both the media and fans. Actor Kit Harington gave interviews in which he claimed to have chopped off his trademark Jon Snow locks-more of a trim, really-and wasn’t coming back. Jon’s death-which was and is still a cliff-hanger in the books-marked the first time the show had tried to keep a major secret from its fandom. Cersei’s walk coincided with some serious discussion of how online-shaming and social-media culture were becoming an increasingly powerful weapon. This one is a three-way tie between the outcry over the rape of Sansa Stark, the media frenzy over the fate of Jon Snow, and the buzz around Cersei’s Walk of Atonement.

GAME OF THRONES SEASON 8 EPISODE 5 RECAP HOW TO
Jon Snow, the Bastard of Winterfell, teaches Olly how to fight, has an awkward sex talk with Melisandre, kills Mance as an act of mercy, becomes Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch, turns down Stannis’s offer of legitimization, executes Janos Slynt, travels to Hardhome, battles the undead, kills a White Walker with his Valyrian Steel sword, meets the Night King, gets back to Castle Black, lets the wildlings through the gate, learns of Stannis’s loss at Winterfell, and is murdered (temporarily) “For the Watch.” Tyrion Lannister, Her Other Brother, arrives in Essos, drinks some wine, throws up, drinks more wine, begins traveling with Varys toward Meereen, visits a brothel in Volantis, is captured by Ser Jorah, sails through Valyria, is almost killed by Stone Men, is captured by slavers, convinces them to seek out a cock merchant, is sold into the fighting pits, meets Daenerys, wins her over with banter, watches her fly away on a dragon, and gets left in charge of Meereen. Just as they’re leaving Dorne and Jaime confesses to Myrcella that he’s her dad (not her uncle), the girl dies in his arms thanks to a poisonous kiss she received from Oberyn’s paramour: Ellaria Sand. (You remember, sexy rakish guy who had his head popped?) Jaime’s stay in Dorne is a mixed success as he tangles with Oberyn’s daughters, the Sand Snakes, and his brother, Prince Doran-but ultimately, he winds up taking his daughter and her fiancé, Trystane Martell, back to King’s Landing.

Jaime Lannister, Her Twin Brother, teams up with the sellsword-turned-knight Bronn to travel to Dorne to rescue his daughter, Myrcella, from the Martells who are more than a little ticked about the death of Prince Oberyn.
