Summary

If you thought "Winterfell" was a slow start to Game of Thrones Season 8, you weren't paying attention. Between the emotional reunions and Alladin-esque dragon dates, HBO's flagship series outlined all the alliances forming as the living make their last stand. And how each alliance might fail.

Episode 1 also gave glimpses of how the good guys can win. We'll outline the secret weapons, powerful assets, and key strategies Jon Snow and Co. will need to survive against staggering odds.

Big D maps out his military advice for the Battle of Winterfell, and Gene Lyons explains the significance of the Night King's Smalljon Umber wall art at Last Hearth.

Who is the "old friend" Bran is waiting for in Winterfell's courtyard? The episode closes with the arrival of Jaime Lannister, but it could be someone else. Someone like family.
