After following the construction of the new Winterfell set for months, recently we got our first good look at what they’re filming down at the Moneyglass estate. Now, that was quite exciting, but what we bring you here today is entirely different. It constitutes a major season eight spoiler. This isn’t a little thing. It’s true endgame stuff, right here for your viewing pleasure if you want, but we must warn you: spoilerphobes, keep away!
Now, for the rest of us, for the spoilerphiles, if you dare, read on…
I’m sure the Game of Thrones crew would have loved to keep this revelation under wraps until the show aired, but you will now understand why that was absolutely impossible. To put it bluntly: they put the set to the torch. And it wasn’t just a little bit of smoke: with some very real fire, alongside clever lighting and smoke, the entire set was lit up!
Surely, there is no way to ignore what this means: in season eight, Winterfell will fall. Many predicted this already, but now that’s an inescapable fact. And, more than that, Winterfell will burn — to the ground, if the size of that fire is anything to go by!
Now, before anyone jumps to conclusions about Mad Queens, it must be noted that this could well be Viserion’s blue flame — just like they did with wildfire in seasons two and six, normal fire could be filmed and then the color changed in post-production.
That said, we just don’t know. Maybe the flame is blue and it’s the Night King who is behind this, as one may expect. Perhaps, for some reason, Daenerys and her two remaining dragons are behind this. Or hell, who knows, perhaps Cersei has some wildfire left and somehow managed to march north and blow up the Stark’s stronghold.
Whatever the case, this is a big spoiler. At some point in season eight, the Stark home will be no more. Will it be a mid-season conflict and the survivors will retreat south? Or will it be at the end, in which case Game of Thrones will go out with a very literal bang?
Share your thoughts in the comments section! But please, though this particular article is a free forum to discuss this, in other Watchers articles (and all around the internet, for that matter) be considerate to those who don’t want to know such spoilers.
Thanks to Katrina for bringing this video to our attention!
