Emilia Clarke Said That Episode 5 Of This Season's Game Of Thrones Is Going To Be Even Bigger Than The Battle Of Winterfell
#DANYBOMB!!!
People that were disappointed by the Battle of Winterfell after hearing said #DANYBOMB:
Well there you have it folks! A show that has become famous for dropping the hammer during its penultimate episodes is going to drop a hammer so big, only a Baratheon (or Hodor wink, wink) would be able to swing it.
I know that it is quite literally part of Emilia Clarke’s job to help promote the show and whip all of us already excited Thrones fans into a rabid frenzy for the rest of the season and the thought of the Battle of Winterfell was bigger than the actual Battle of Winterfell in my humble opinion. But I still believe her. You know why? Because no Brit calls something “Mental” unless whatever they are talking about is truly barmy. As you can see in this poll, there have been varying opinions on how good this season of Game of Thrones has been so far:
Granted those results were graded on a Kershaw-esque curve because we expect Thrones to always be awesome. The way the Night King’s story appeared to wrap up after 7 years of hype along with some predictable tropes Game of Thrones used to avoid and the potential of another setup episode airing this Sunday has left people worried about the rest of the season and Emilia saying we need to watch it on the biggest TV we own has me worried that the cinematographer for Episode 5 made everything super small just like the cinematographer in Episode 3 made everything super dark.
But I am going to believe in my Khaleesi simply because I’ve liked her character in pretty much every scene where she isn’t getting bodybagged by Sansa and I believe in the Thrones process. We may not have had as many deaths or highlights in the Battle of Winterfell as we thought, yet we still got an all-time moment from Arya and now have a shitload of expendable beloved characters whose arcs appear to have been completed. I feel like Thrones ran the first few laps of this season by holding onto a lightning and a star in Mario Kart. Once everything starts winding down, they will have the ammunition to unleash hell upon everyone on the screen for better or worse along with all our favorites in the North and the Baddest Bitch in Westeros who doesn’t play by anybody’s rules being a bigger wildcard than Charlie Kelly except if he had 20,000 sellswords from a legendary company that never broke a contract, a zombie Mountain, a twisted voodoo doctor along with the lives of more than a million people potentially on the line. I’m trying to not get too excited because all of the waiting, theory reading, and YouTube videos have made this season almost impossible to deliver on the hype. But when Emilia Clarke says something is going to be mental, I listen.
