This article suggests 6-7 years have passed since episode 1:

So Arya’s probably about 17 or 18 in the show now. (Her on-screen sister was married twice by that age, and then there’s the Freys...) Maisie Williams, who plays her, is 22 - she does come across as younger than that though.

S08E02. Finally got to see it tonight after returning to the land of technology. Slowish but with some important stuff.

The Battle of Winterfell is just 20 minutes away.

So one theory is that only part of the white walkers will attack Winterfell so when the humans win, the rest will be half way to Cersei.

Now...how do they survive Cersei. I can't wait.

by JGK Mon 29 Apr 2019, 15:44

Oh, and the Ep MVP was clearly Arya.

2 points to the Mormont clan I reckon.

I had Arya down to do Cersei. Will have to shift to Jaime

Wished I was watching on a cinema screen really, how to make a 49” TV seem like an iPhone Wink

Can see why people complained about the lighting given the variety of devices people watch on, I thought ahead and played around with my TV settings ahead of watching...

An epic, non-stop episode as expected. Thought we would lose more big (and medium sized) characters, and expected the White Walker army to make it to King’s Landing in some form or other, which won’t happen now unless there’s an unexpected twist... but now there’s the small matter of dealing with Cersei and co. and the destiny of the Iron Throne. Still not sure if it will be GRRM’s ending or Benioff and Weiss’s... and the world may never know unless he finishes the books (even if he does, he might change it if the TV ending isn’t well received...)

Yeah, I thought she might trick Cersei with the Littlefinger face mask...

by Bradman Mon 29 Apr 2019, 23:37

Arya doing cersei, I'd pay to see you that. And I thought the imp would've been favourite.

by skully Tue 30 Apr 2019, 01:08

Maybe Arya, Jaime and Tyrion will all stab the bitch to death together, singing "Happy Birthday".

And agree with MrK, little Lady Mormont was awesome.

by JGK Tue 30 Apr 2019, 03:53

I would have thought Sansa should be the one to crunch Cersei but I don't see what reason Sansa would have to go South.

I'm going to watch it again tonight with a different brightness setting. I freaking hated the parts with the mist in particular.

And now I've had a chance to think about it all, I am probably a little underwhelmed. Lighting aside, the ep was nowhere near as brilliant as battle of the bastards or even battle of hardhome. And for all the 8 seasons of waiting for winter to come, and the white walkers to swarm the land, they don't even make it past Winterfell.

Also, WTF thought it was a good idea to send all the Dothraki off into the dark with no support?

Other thoughts - has Dany now been effectively dealt out of the series? Sure she has the dragons (although John seems to have commandeered one of them) but no Dothraki nor Unsullied or Jorah. Plus she doesn't even have the first claim to the Iron Throne.

Similarly, if all the action now moves South, and the danger in the North over for now, what does Sansa do. I guess as Queen of the North she could head South to help gather the other families to the North's cause but she's hardly well know there.

Jorah died well too.

The more I think about it, Sansa might stick Cersei with the pointy bit.

In a three way cat fight with Dany as well?

by Bradman Tue 30 Apr 2019, 05:37

Dany seducing Cersei then whilst fist farking her rip out her heart through her Tassie map.

by beamer Tue 30 Apr 2019, 08:09

Maybe the lords of the North will throw another cat among the pigeons by proclaiming Arya as Queen given she struck the blow to save humanity...

by Bradman Tue 30 Apr 2019, 08:28

I was going to say she might be a little bit too farked up, but then realised that was probably an essential selection condition.

Yeah, and she wouldn’t want the role, but then again, neither did Jon...

by skully Tue 30 Apr 2019, 08:37

Surely Sansa wants to off Cersie after all she endured at Kings Landing. I reckon that would be a very satisfying outcome - the most satisfying since Joffrey's death.

by Bradman Tue 30 Apr 2019, 08:40

Aye Sansa would be the most just. Then again Cersei might win.
