The 8th season of Game of Thrones has already hit the screens, and fans are intensely recalling the events of last season. To ease the effort, here's what happened in Season 7 of Game of Thrones, and a reminder of what to expect from Season 8, which will put everything in its place.

The final eighth season of Game of Thrones premieres in April 2019. It will be 6 episodes each of almost 2 hours of unforgettable spectacles. Many fans have thought about rewatching all the previous 7 before the start of the season, and we make it easy. What happened in season 7, and what will happen in the finale of the Game of Thrones - just read on No Taboo.

The seventh season of Game of Thrones was pretty original - None of the key characters die, Daenerys finally made it to Westeros, Jon Snow returned the loyalty of the northern nobles to the Starks, Bran Stark returned from behind the Wall and joins the family, Cersei took revenge on the murderers of her daughter Myrcella, Littlefinger is suddenly numb, and Jaime Lannister is torn between two fires. Let's look at the main storylines that have finally begun to converge.

Erotic scenes

In the "Game of Thrones" there are almost no sex scenes that were saturated with the first seasons of the series. This time the creators of the epic managed to surprise the audience. Everyone was struck by the sex of Missandei and Gray Worm. Gray Worm is flawless, and the flawless, as you know, lack something in order to fully please a woman. The creators of the series literally blew fans' expectations with this scene, which caused a lot of condemnation on the network, and was recognized as one that raises more questions than answers. That's just a love scene with Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen turned out to be some kind of missionary. And the topic of something in it is not disclosed at all.

Sam Tarly and Bran Stark

So, the storyline of Sam Tarly and Bran Stark is worthy of attention - Bran's visions are real spoilers, and together with the information that Sam finds, they explain the past and lead to the events of season 8.

We learn that Jon is not Snow at all, but the legitimate son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark, who was saved from the rebels by Eddard Stark. Bran tells Jon about his origins. He is silent for the most part, but inserts a few words in time, saving relatives from Littlefinger's intrigues.

Moreover, the guy sends Mira home without further ado, as if there weren’t all the horrors that they experienced together. The girl does not appear again in the season, but there are rumors that she will be in season 8. Bran himself states that he The Three-Eyed Raven, and all politics and succession to the throne, to put it mildly, aside.

Arya and Sansa Stark

Sansa and Arya Stark Celebrate Friendship Restored with Littlefinger's Death

Arya and Sansa are back together in Season 7 and have received a lot of attention. At first, Arya appears as a faceless one, and takes revenge on the Freyas for the Bloody Wedding, but then she still gets to Winterfell, where she finally restores friendly relations with her sister and helps her deal with Littlefinger.

Along the way, we learn that in half of the troubles that fell on the head of the Starks, it was the Littlefinger who was guilty, who not only dreamed of Caitlin Stark, but wanted to take more of the northern lands into his hands.

Sansa wants the best, but it turns out as always - she constantly disputes every word of John, dropping his authority as soon as possible. Only at the end of the season do we see that a real understanding of the situation has come to her. However, all this happens in a timely manner - in the finale of season 7, the sisters Stark and Bran bring Littlefinger, who has suddenly lost the ability to intrigue, to clean water and get rid of the cult character.

Daenerys and Jon

Daenerys sacrificed the dragon, and he took and destroyed the Wall in the North

Daenerys begins her plan to conquer Westeros as the Lannisters fail after defeat. A whole series is devoted to how the Mother of Dragons with a small detachment and a dragon defeated the army of Jaime, who was carrying fodder and money from one stronghold to another. She becomes another monarch who, in the fight for the Iron Throne, demands loyalty from John in exchange for protection. Stark, for once, shows the work of the brain, and in several visits he negotiates with Dany. The reason for this is that Sam found obsidian on Dragonstone, which is needed to fight the White Walkers. According to legend, this is exactly the same lethal weapon of Westeros.

During the rescue operation behind the Wall, Daenerys loses one dragon, but gains another lover in the person of Jon, by the way, her nephew.

Lannister and Greyjoy storyline

Cersei Lannister is unlucky in life

Cersei Lannister punished Elaria Sand for the death of her daughter Myrcella by poisoning her daughter Tyena with the Long Goodbye poison and forcing her to watch her die. Jaime, like a real knight, poisoned the old woman Olenna Stark, defeating her troops and annexing territories. He's been trying to make a real difference all season, but the most productive thing he's done is getting Cersei pregnant again.

Euron Greyjohn becomes the main villain of the season and the most charismatic character, and he just has the biggest success. He agrees with Cersei that he will destroy the fleet of his nephews, and then the ships of Daenerys, and for this Cersei will become his wife. He almost completely fulfills his promises - Theon is saved by a miracle, but Yara ends up in the hands of the Lannisters.

Euron is present at the negotiations between the Lannisters and the Targaryen-Starks, when Daenerys, at the request of the advisers, shows the zombies and invites Cersei to first defeat the Walkers together, and then fight for the throne. By order of Cersei, Euron Greyjoy is sent across the ocean to buy an army of mercenaries to fight Daenerys.

Three key events that define the next season:

• Drogon recognizes Jon as a Targaryen and gets petted when Daenerys returns from the battle with the Lannisters. To say Dany is shocked is an understatement.
• Snow agrees with Daenerys about the joint struggle against the Walkers and begins obsidian mining on Dragonstone. Yet he never bowed the knee to Stormborn.
• The Night King has own dragonwhen he revives the slain dragon Daenerys. He leads the troops of the dead to the wall and spectacularly destroys it. During the defense, the walls disappeared Berrick and Thornmund, however, dashing warriors, of course, will continue to fight the White Walkers in survival.

What will happen in season 8 of Game of Thrones. WARNING, SPOILERS

Showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss wanted to make the final season in three feature films to get enough funding, but HBO insisted on a series format and promised as much money as needed. For 90 million (according to estimates, each episode cost 15 million), a real sweetie was prepared.

Arye Stark they predict the murder of Cersei and Jaime - supposedly Yakin will come to her with a task, and the Girl without a Name will sacrifice her hand for the sake of the deaths of Jaime and Cersei. According to fan theories, Arya mows down everyone on her list and goes into the sunset to continue being Faceless.

Sansa Stark did not just dispute all the words of John - she becomes the proud mistress of the North and lives happily ever after in Winterfell, which she will rebuild after the Walkers are destroyed.

The mystery of Bran Stark is shocking

Bran possesses the legendary Branon the Builder, travels back in time to build a wall, returns to the present to stop the Night King. They say that there will be a duel between them, which everyone was so expecting. According to the second theory, he takes Daenerys and her child from Snow and sacrifices them to destroy the walkers.

Cersei sends Jaime with the troops so that they hit the Starks in the back, but the brother escapes, and now intends to kill the insane sister. Whether he can do it himself, or with the help of Arya, is unknown. But he ends up dying in the process as well, having managed to sleep with Brienne, who also dies.

Jaime Lannister thought too long - this is not his forte

There is also a theory that Tirion Lannister could no longer endure the disgrace, and went to King's Landing, where he burned the Greyjoy fleet, destroyed the capital of Westeros, the Iron Throne and Cersei along with him. In support of this, they cite the theory that Cersei will die at the hands of her brother, and Tyrion has already burned the fleet in Havana once with green fire. Let's not forget that Tyrion in love with Daenerys, and may react similarly to her death.

Who will kill the Night King and stop the army of the dead?

A complex story with Daenerys and Jon - everyone is sure that the heroes will die. There is a theory that Gentry, like a real blacksmith, and even with royal blood, not without the help of Mellisandra, he will forge a sword for Azor-Ahai, who is Snow. Somewhere in the process, Daenerys will die, having before that managed to give birth to an heir. Jon will die in battle with the King of the Night, and Tyrion will become their son's governor.

There is a theory that suggests that the promised prince is Theon Greyjoy. First, he is the Prince of the Iron Islands. Secondly, in one of the chapters of the book A Dance with Dragons there is a phrase: “How many people died when he took Winterfell, how many on the day he lost the castle? Theon Greyjoy himself also died then, reborn as Stinky." That is, Theon was revived among salt and smoke (salt - his people in the castle, smoke - the burning of Winterfell). According to predictions, “when the stars shed blood, the prince will be born among salt and smoke. He will draw the Sword of Light from the fire to fight against the powers of darkness."

The final season of Game of Thrones comes out in April 2019:

It is known that the final battle was filmed for 2,5 months, and is clearly worth attention. The creators have been planning the series finale since 2012, so there is no doubt that in 6 years they were able to create a masterpiece.

In order for fans not to get bored, HBO announced 5 spin-offs of Game of Thrones - 4 series and one animated series that will tell the story before the books began - about the First War with the Walkers, the Rise of Baratheon, the history of some houses of Westeros, as well as the history of the family Targaryen.
