Game Of Thrones Season 8: 12 Details You Might've Missed In 'The Last Of The Starks'
It's not all about the Starbucks cup.
Warning: contains spoilers for Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 4...
The Last War kicks off in Game of Thrones Season 8, Episode 4, which sees Daenerys and Jon formulating their plan to take down Cersei Lannister. Things, shockingly, do not go quite as they expected. It's an episode full of character moments, betrayals, deaths, drinking, and all kinds of little details too.
There's no way to go into details missed in this week's Game of Thrones without mentioning *that* coffee cup. Not that anyone has missed it by now, of course, but since it's been so dominant in the discussion of the show, post-The Last of the Star(buc)ks, it at least demands some lip service, so here it is:
That bit of housekeeping out of the way, the episode had much more than just coffee cups. Missandei's "dracarys" line was a callback to Daenerys freeing the slaves of Astapor, for example, and there were plenty of other details that might've gone by under the radar while Rhaegar was going under.
12. That's Not Me
When Gendry, full of confidence and joy after being made Lord of Storm's End, runs off and proposes to Arya, she rejects him by saying she isn't a Lady - "that's not me."
And it's true that isn't Arya, and never has been. Way back in Season 1, Arya said the same thing to Ned, when he was talking about her getting married. It's a line the showrunners are clearly very fond of using to represent who she is (or at least isn't), since they called back to it last year too: when Arya's direwolf Nymeria goes off with her wolfpack instead of going back to Winterfell with her, Arya understands why, saying "that's not you."
