Game of Thrones is one of the densest and most complicated shows on television, and each episode is multi-layered and loaded with meaning. As the show moves toward its epic conclusion, here’s a look at some of the most important lines from the final season. And in case it’s not already obvious: Major spoilers ahead, so please proceed with caution.
When Emilia Clarke’s Daenerys and Kit Harington’s Jon Snow finally arrive at Winterfell, they meet the rest of the Starks and try to convince the Northerners to join their cause. Early on, Jon mutters something important to Daenerys:
Daenerys doesn’t exactly impress either of the Stark sisters, especially not Sansa, portrayed by actress Sophie Turner. As you can see by that pronounced side-eye, she clearly doesn’t trust this foreign queen, despite Jon’s ringing endorsement.
This isn’t a good sign for Daenerys, but it might not bode particularly well for Jon, either. As viewers know, he isn’t actually the illegitimate son of Ned Stark at all. He’s the son of Lyanna Stark and Daenerys’ brother, Rhaegar Targaryen. This fact gives him the biggest claim to the Iron Throne. Once the North discovers Jon’s true parentage, it’s entirely possible that they’ll abandon him. Despite his utter devotion to protecting the North, he’s also utterly devoted to the Queen of Dragons. Perhaps they’ll see that Jon, who was actually born as Aegon Targaryen, is ultimately an outsider.
The reunion between Maisie Williams’ Arya Stark and Jon Snow was a highly anticipated moment. After all, Jon gave Arya her very first sword. Though their time together in the first season was entirely too brief, it was clear that they shared an intense bond. When they meet again at the Godswood at Winterfell, it provides one of the show’s biggest and most satisfying emotional moments. It even manages to get a rare smile out of Arya, who has hardened considerably over the course of Game of Thrones. Keep watching the video to see all the ‘GoT’ lines that are more important than you think!
