Where we started: Westeros has been ruled by Robert Baratheon and his queen, Cersei Lannister after he rebelled and overthrew the Targaryen dynasty. To make things easier, we’ve condensed (OK, abridged) the entire series into a few semi-short paragraphs. Remembering exactly what happened over seven long and dense seasons of HBO’s “Game of Thrones” is hard, but trying to do it before April 14’s Season 8 premiere is nearly as overwhelming as facing an army of the frozen undead. Have you studied up on your Westerosi history of late? This undermines the believability of everything that’s taken place and everything that’s to come.Watch Video: 'Game of Thrones' actors guess how many characters have died so far If Dragon’s have been that fast all along, why hasn’t Danny just flown ahead of her useless armies and burned everything down before Tyrion warned her that she couldn’t just burn everything down. ![]() They did and it made zero sense, and it’s killing the show’s credibility. It was also predictable utter horseshit as the episode progressed, yet I held out hope that it wouldn’t ‘go there.’ Sadly, said hope was misplaced. Jon and his cohorts are stuck on a narrow piece of land, in what looks like sub-freezing weather, not moving, and able to stand there long enough for Gendry to run back to Eastwatch, a raven to be sent to and fly to Dragonstone, and then for Danny to fly back to Jon? GoT, GTFO. ![]() No? OK, then, if it’s not that easy, how does any of this work?

It’s no surprise how bleak the situation was, so why not just fly up on a dragon to begin with, pluck a zombie, and be done with it. Given day, I’m not sure a proper rant could be constructed to adequately complain about how dumb this was.
