Warning: This post is dark and full of spoilers for Game of Thrones season 8 episode 1
Anticipation, hope and excitement. That is all I’ve been feeling in the month of April. Because some of the most popular TV shows and movies in the world are airing their final instalment this month. You know what I’m talking about, right? Game of Thrones and Avengers: Endgame! While there’s still time for the latter, the former is here! Episode one of the fantasy series by George RR Martin has left the fandom with a rollercoaster of emotions.
The most significant development of all was Jon Snow finally getting to know about his true parentage. Yes, Sam dropped the bomb.

Then there were the reunions in Winterfell. Jon met Arya and their emotional hug gave us all the feels. Also, Jamie caught a glimpse of Bran. Awkward!
The Starks are all back together! I can't take it! #GameofThrones #ThronesYall

And the meeting we’ve all been waiting for – Daenerys and Sansa. Everyone is curious about how their equation will play out in the episodes to come.

Sansa: “What do dragons eat any way?”
Dany: “Whatever they want.”#GameOfThrones #ThronesYall— Black Girl Nerds (@BlackGirlNerds) April 15, 2019

My personal favourite parts of the episode were the reunions. Jon and Arya, Jamie and Bran & Tyrion and Sansa. What was your favourite part of the episode?
