Opinion | Ani Bundel: 'Game of Thrones' season 8 premiere reconnects fans with the pilot that started it all. - NBCNewsTHINK
, both franchises were seen as outliers. “Game of Thrones” was also more complex than either story, a meditation on the nature of power with a cast of dozens that would soon bloom to hundreds. Pacing an introduction to all of the main characters was so difficult it took two pilot episodes to get it right.
Such deliberate juxtapositions reinforce the passage of time for other characters as well. Sansa Stark, the girl who once blinded by finery, now looks coldly upon a new queen and her beautiful furs. Instead, it is Daenerys who hopes to flatter and charm, and Sansa who responds with the icy disinterest originally perfected by Cersei.But while Sansa may have adopted Cersei’s diction, she’s outgrown the woman she once desired to emulate.
Then there was the pilot’s cold open, with its first glimpse of the coming White Walker menace, and a mysterious warning left in the snow. The threat may have been forgotten as those down south focused on their political machinations, but its spectre remained. An epic battle beckons now, but the White Walkers haven’t stopped leaving ominous messages.
