Varys may not be pleased with Tyrion’s constant taunting, but at least he’s not the only one in Winterfell working overtime to suppress a grimace.
Is it because I’m perpetually 10 years old at heart? Probably. When asked why it’s acceptable for Tyrion to badger Varys but not the other way around, Tyrion responds, “Because I have balls and you don’t.” (+5) Look, I’m a sucker for a good balls joke. Tyrion opens the episode by poking fun at Varys for being a eunuch. It’s not exactly a warm welcome by any stretch of the imagination, but at least Tyrion and Varys have each other’s company - though perhaps that’s not as delightful as it seems. The premiere opens up with Daenerys, Jon Snow, her inner circle, and the impressive army she’s collected over the last few seasons riding into Winterfell. It’s better to treat this final season like a marathon, not a sprint. The season 8 premiere was a little lackluster when it came to the violent devastation we’re used to in Game of Thrones, but that’s okay. There shouldn’t be any wild surprises that leave us debating whether points should have been awarded. It was the equivalent a hot tub you ease yourself into until your body adjusts to the temperature. The season 8 premiere was fairly easy to score.
(Or if they do, that you’re given the bonus points for memorable deaths.) Before we jump into the episode, here’s a reminder of how the score breakdown works and the changes we’ve made for the final season. It’s time to batten down the hatches, obsess over whether you got a worthy lineup, and pray to the Westerosi gods that your drafted characters don’t happen to cross paths with a couple of angry, hungry dragons. We’re baaaaaaaaack! The final session of our fantasy sports league Game of Game of Thrones, which is run by Fantasizr, is upon us.
