'Game of Thrones': Breaking down 'The Last of the Starks'

Patrick Varine

***WARNING: SPOILERS THROUGH SEASON 8, EPISODE 4 OF ‘GAMES OF THRONES,’ AND MILD BOOK SPOILERS***

Opinions were sharply divided among the “Thrones’n’at” panel regarding “The Last of the Starks.” With two episodes to go, the show jumped back into political intrigue, tense throne-room conversation and characters not knowing who their true allies might be.

This week we delve into all the reasons Cassie hated this episode (“he ghosted Ghost!”), all the reasons Patrick loved this episode but hates Show Euron (mostly because Book Euron is exponentially more awesome: an insane pirate supervillain with blue lips who constantly drinks the Westerosi equivalent of LSD and wants to raise some sort of undead sea demon), and whether Dany’s rapid descent toward mad queen-ishness is going to create a brand new supervillain two episodes before the series comes to a close.
