Game Of Thrones Episode 3: A Breakdown Of The Battle Of Winterfell From Its Creators (Season 8)

All the key scenes, explained.

3 Comments

Season 8--the final one--of HBO's beloved fantasy drama Game of Thrones continued this past Sunday in dramatic fashion. Episode 3 showcased the Battle of Winterfell, the dramatic showdown between the Night King and his army and Jon, Dany, and the forces at Winterfell.

It was indeed a dramatic episode with a lot to take in and consider. Following the episode's airing, HBO released a nice "Inside the Episode" video in which showrunners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff--who were also responsible for this episode--break down the key scenes and moments. You can check out the video below. Of course you'll probably want to actually watch the episode first, given it deals with many of the episode's major developments.

What a great episode. It's so cool how they use the Night King to unite the people for the real fight against Cersi.

@pongman1975: Cersei was right though, let them lose tons of soldiers, and now they have little to fight her with.
