Game of Thrones s08e01 - "Winterfell"

Pop Culture Double Date

After a hiatus of almost two years, during which we had to make do with the increasingly twisty riddles-for-riddles'-sake of "Westworld", "Game of Thrones" has finally returned to our screens, with a brand new title sequence no less. Sitting down to discuss the season premiere just moments after watching it, we debate the meaning of that title sequence; whether we'd prefer to see Sansa Stark take the reins of power over Daenerys Targaryen; whether Cersei Lannister is in fact pregnant; what now for Aegon of House Targaryen, sixth of his name, particularly in the incestuous love department; the likelihood of democracy coming to Westeros; and our predictions for the season ahead. Strap in, folks, this is a jumbo-sized discussion about a jumbo-sized pop culture phenomenon.
