Game Of Thrones - Season 8, Episode 3 Shenanigans
SPOILER ALERT - Do not open this post if you have not watched Game of Thrones - Season 8, Episode 3 ...
27 word summary
The Night King didn't bring his A-game, not enough big characters died, and Cersei, having done sweet FA, probably has a red wine and popcorn hangover.
Who died?
You can never be 100%, but this list is taken from here and looks about right - or did one of the other dragons die too?
The Night King
Melisandre
Theon Greyjoy
Lyanna Mormont
Ser Jorah Mormont
Lord Beric Dondarrion
Edd Tollett a.k.a. Dolorous Edd (not part of @v4vapid's contest list)
Viserion
Theon, volunteering to look after Bran in Gods Wood, with a light selection of arrows was my banker to not make it to episode 4. Nor did I fancy the chances of the Mormont's, but they did well in battle and went out in style.
Melisandre, The Red Witch, reappeared (ahead of the army of the dead) to help out a bit with some fire action, although those flames were quickly extinguished. Perhaps her best moment was reaffirming to Ayra that she was going to be a bad-ass and kill beings with eyes of many colours, including blue.
The Red Witch had seemingly gotten tired of reviving Lord Beric Dondarrion, but also did his bit by saving Ayra who had some important stuff to do later, like peace out The Night King!
Viserion, the Wighted dragon, also went down. It was 2 v 1 up there and so this was the bet for those playing the airborne odds.
Luckiest survivors?
At this point it was not looking good for anyone as Jon Snow staggered into Winterfell and saw the likes of Jamie Lannister and Brienne of Tarth taking beats, but the luckiest survivor award has to go to Sam Tarly who confirmed there is another way of killing Wights - suffocation.
Unofficial scoring for @v4vapid's contest
Compiling contest entries is a pain in the arse, but as I have nothing better to do today, I've had a go at doing just that for @v4vapid's 'who will live and who will die' - The Battle for Winterfell contest.
There were 41 valid entries with the category 'got-contest' in the first tag, and what follows is the full scoring. If you think I have your score wrong, let me know!
Based on the list of the dead from the link above, and my compilation of the contest entries, the top scores (which are not the final scores so look out for V's post!) are as follows:
| Skilled GOT 'live or die' predictor account | Score |
|---|---|
| @blocktrades | 31 |
| @deanlogic | 30 |
| @afolwalex | 29 |
| @bluemist | 29 |
| @ange.nkuru | 29 |
Not official results but it's looking good for BT!
Finally
What a night for Ayra, the undoubted star of episode 3. Taking out The Night King, and prior to that, losing her V-plates. But why the worried look?
I cannot wait until next week! Will there be calm before the next storm? Are we going to get to see some action in daylight?
Free to play, winner(s) get respect and maybe an up-vote.

I cannot do any worse 😁
Good thing I stayed up late to catch the show (paying for it today). I knew there would be a ton of spoiler alerts. Looks like there were many great guesses. I was expecting more tragedy!
I was totally expecting more tragedy - o felt no connection to any of the deceased! I think they can do better than that 😁
Looks like you beat me to it, but that's great I only just finished watching the episode 15 minutes ago. Had to stay off the internets as not see any spoilers...damn what an epic! Looks like BT has done very well and dean logic too! I'm going to have to watch the episode again but I'm not complaining at all ;)
I'm kicking myself for forgetting Ed the crow, but I did my best. Aside from ghost who we only saw for like 2 seconds I think i covered the rest. Also, there could be more casualties from the crypt and perhaps Greyworm was taken out in the madness...but I'm not entirely sure atm. Maybe it won't be clear until next week.
A lot of us saw the writing on the wall for: Theon, Jorah, and Beric.
That was a super fun episode - esp. Arya's "not today" moment.
Thanks for tallying everything up, I really appreciate that.
Yeah it's good for me as I'm asleep during the first airing, and can wake up with something exciting to watch first thing.
That one was pretty epic and made up for last weeks singalong, even though it was shot in the dark which did annoy me a bit at times!
I'd forgotten about Ed too, and Ghost hasn't been around too much, no worries.
Theon, Jorah, and Lyanna were on the lists of many! So were the likes of Greyworm and Giantsbane, who have seemingly (and miraculously) survived. Might need to wait a week though for the final result?
No worries re: the tallying, see how it looks in a week. Cheers for putting on the contest, a nice distraction!
Didn't do so well, but I did say everyone at the drinking party would survive and it's looking good. Pod tormond and brienne were looking sp expendable.
Next episode will be quiet maybe some side action.
Perhaps some people will really want to head south but the neck seems like a better spot. Although I thinkndragon stone or gods eye needs some mpre action.
Anyway:

Yep, must have been that lucky vino, or the sing-song.
I did pretty crap, not enough deaths for m guesses to be competitive. I think a quiet one next time, and then some major characters going down 😁
I did notice a lot of the characters who died have already died several times or have been written off and left for dead.
I'm sure a few more are going down. If sansa and dwarf sit on that chair I will be disappointed.

Yeah same. Jon doesn't want it or else I'd pick him, and Sansa wants the North?
I'm not too fussed who sits there as long as there are more epic death scenes on the way!
Noted on the predictions - tittays and beer!
It was just sooo dark !!!!
I think they had to cut budgets for this episodes make it dark so less makeup details. lolz
haha yeah, I was told people were mad that the battle was going to be at night. Hopefully the next battle will be in the day!
Niiice! 😎 And Arya was for sure the mvp! Still think Brienne is dead tho...did we see her after the battle and I missed it?

Brienne was still standing up together with Jaime and Podrick when those night walkers crumbled @ange.nkuru.
Oh, thanks for the clarification, guess I should rewatch the episode and catch some more details I missed

Total MVP!
Yeah the death count could grow but you would have thought we'd see the lead characters die in action, other than mentioning it the following week?
Did I get your score right? 28 is cracking stuff if so!
True true, unless they felt like that would be congesting the episode a bit too much. We shall know next week.
And actually now that you mention it, I'm counting 29. Now wishing myself luck. lol
That could be a reason to wait til next week, I'll still be feeling a bit ripped off though should they announce later.
hmm, i count 29 too - I knew this was a bad idea! :D updated!
Same here,
And it's all good, would have been a pain to check all the entries and compare them so cheers for the initiative. :)
I lost but Arya won. I'm fine with that. Damn the episode. I'll recover with a good nights sleep hopefully :D
I lost big time too, but the episode and Arya were winners!
Next week could be a calm before the storm episode - expect singing, wine, and maybe even some sexy-time :)
If only I had remembered to pick the last buddy alive from the Black Watch.
Great score dude, a fine effort!
absolutely EPIC episode but as you say....not so many heroes dies as I had expected to (and therefor my score utterly sucked with 21 points daaaayum!!). I stayed off all kinds of feeds to dodge the spoilers everywhere but I must say..it was worth it!!!
curious now on how it the next phase will go, titties will be exploited and a baby fest will prevail in nine months..but the next @v4vapid contest should surely be...who will end up on the Iron Throne!
Yeah not enough at all, there should have been way more - like Sam!
Are you talking real life or GOT? :D
Yes that has to come into a contest for sure :)
HA! Just finished watching it, it was awesome!
Bit dark but hey ho. It was night after all. It was tense as feck. Arya of course was the fucking daddy!
Bloody night time! The girl done good, but I think big Sam Tarly took more out via suffocation? 😁
Haha, aye he might have done! A new wight king technique, rolling on them!
