The Long Flight – Part 1
Um.
Hello?
Anyone still alive out there?
Three of you? I guess that’s enough to do a Twitter post with.
(Plus I have no aversion to using the words of dead people to further my WotW ambitions.)
You know the drill. @Axechucker! @WatchersOTWall! And @You!
Mmmm… GO!
So people were still abuzz over last week’s episode…

Theon arrived at Winterfell 4 times.
Once as a hostage
Once as a turncloak
Once as Reek
And once as himself pic.twitter.com/2kFUfKZJv1— Petra Halbur (@PLHalbur) April 28, 2019

having dragons is no basis for a system of government. why, if i went round saying i was queen of the 7 kingdoms because some geckos were following me, they'd put me away! #GOT #knightofthesevenkingdoms #GOTs8

Always.
So I asked the THRONERS what they felt the best case and worst-case outcomes might b–
When we get angry, do we have raging Throners?
I'll just ban myself.
— Ros of the North, Lady Game Over (@GameOverRos) April 28, 2019
…Ros.
Our tears shall be the lubricant for our Throner.
— Ros of the North, Lady Game Over (@GameOverRos) April 28, 2019
STAHP
That. That pun is the worst case scenario. It's been realized.
— Not Bri. Just me. (@BeautyBrienne) April 28, 2019
Yes. Ros was pre-banned.
#BANNED
In no particular order for worst or best:
– Ice Spiders
– Winterfell falls but there’s a dragon underneath and he kills all the white walkers and the NK and his name is Macomber.
– Cold food
– Have to have an awkward convo with Jorah when he doesn’t want to give my sword back.— Samwell Tarly (@theSamwellTarly) April 28, 2019
Here’s my best case. A mid battle love confession and then a kiss while they take out some white walkers. Also…neither of them die. #wishfulthinking #gameofthrones pic.twitter.com/AydnaKxU88
— Jenny Slife (@JennySlife87) April 28, 2019
Worst case: For Winterfell @BIG_AS_HOUNDS show up
Best case: For us @BIG_AS_HOUNDS show up
— Thoros ❤️'s R'hllor (@ThorosLuvRhllor) April 28, 2019
….I would love that, honestly. No apologies.
Worst: Accepting the fact that I will be having a funeral for all of my imaginary friends at work on Monday.
Best: Same…the show should be tragic, that's what draws me to it. No more Ex Machinas.— Cody (@CodyStormPanic) April 28, 2019
Worst case: Dany goes mad and Tyrion cites PMS as her undoing. Theon dies for Jon.
Best case: Jon gives NK a toy train which melts his icy heart and together they sing “Put One Foot in Front of the Other” pic.twitter.com/ttyH2q2hhk
— Petra Halbur (@PLHalbur) April 28, 2019
……….I would kind of love that too.

Guys. I've been on Twitter a lot today, and I'm starting to worry that maybe the crypts aren't really going to be safe.
— Spider Jerusalem's Flithy Assistant (@undercover_emi) April 28, 2019
Ridiculous. Fearmongering!
Apart from all the people who are going to die, you know what else is toast? Winterfell. Here's to my favourite location in the books and on the show. #GameofThrones pic.twitter.com/hUPFAkEbTg

I'm that one guy who is still emotionally invested enough in #AvengersEndgame to truly take in #GameofThrones tonight. I need to really unwind over these next, precious few hours. I don't know what to do.
— David Rosenblatt (@SirSquinty) April 28, 2019
Also my husband bought 4 packs of #GameofThrones Oreos: one per episode. He's either greatly overestimating my Oreo capacity or he expects me to use them to wipe away my tears. Either way I'm coming out of this probably covered in crumbs.
