EW.com gave Game of Thrones fans their first look at the show’s final season in a splashy cover story that came out today. While the article is full of amazing tidbits — like how they’ve expanded the Winterfell set and that “Battle of the Bastards” director is back for a full-length episode-long final battle between our heroes and the Army of the Dead — there was one recurring theme that kept popping up. If Game of Thrones fanatics want a taste of the final season, they’ve got to re-watch the very first episode right now.

HBO has revealed the runtimes for the first two episodes of 'Game of Thrones' Season 8 and they might be shorter than you expected.

So why do you absolutely need to watch Game of Thrones Season 1, Episode 1, “Winter is Coming” right this instant? Well, EW’s James Hibbard reports that back in 2013, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss revealed that “author George R.R. Martin, whose series of novels forms the basis for Thrones, had revealed to the duo the broad strokes of how his Song of Ice and Fire saga secretly ends, including a description of an epic final battle that’s been teased from the show’s very first scene.”

We went back and checked the scene out again and it follows three members of the Night’s Watch as they ride out Beyond the Wall in pursuit of Wildings. They stumble upon a macabre scene of slain Wildings cut to pieces and arranged in a mystic sort of symbol. At one point, one of them complains that they even killed the children. When they return to the scene, the bodies are gone and the corpse of a little girl has been reanimated as a blue-eyed wight. Then, the dead attack, brutally killing all but one Night’s Watchman.

So…what could this mean? On the surface, it just teases that the White Walkers are coming, but maybe there are bigger clues. Perhaps the men, women, and children who fall in the final battle against the Army of the Dead will join that hellacious army. And maybe only a third of our heroes will be left alive… Maybe…just maybe…

EW also revealed that Season 8 will start in a way that echoes a later part of the first episode in a big way:

Season 8 opens at Winterfell with an episode that contains plenty of callbacks to the show’s pilot. Instead of King Robert’s procession arriving, it’s Daenerys and her army. What follows is a thrilling and tense intermingling of characters — some of whom have never previously met, many who have messy histories — as they all prepare to face the inevitable invasion of the Army of the Dead.

We already know that Daenerys is heading with Jon and Tyrion for Winterfell, so this only confirms that they’ll make it. Oh, and that Sansa won’t be happy to see that Jon has bent the knee to Daenerys.

We’ll know more about Game of Thrones Season 8 when we get our first teaser trailer, but until then, you can watch Game of Thrones Season 1, Episode 1 “Winter is Coming” and speculate away…

I have a confession: I don't watch Game of Thrones.

Unbelievable, right? There are lost tribes on archipelagos thousands of miles out in the ocean that spend their time debating who's hotter, Jon Snow or Jaime Lannister. Such is the cultural domination of HBO's sword 'n' saucy fantasy series that I feel like the only person in the world who doesn't watch it.

I'm not a total shut-in -- I did watch the first season back in 2011. But I failed to keep up as the show took over the world, winning a record 47 Primetime Emmy Awards and becoming HBO's biggest ever show as 30 million people tuned in and went online for each episode.

That was almost precisely when I lost interest in waiting a week for new episodes of a show. With the sole exception of Doctor Who, I haven't followed any TV show week-in week-out for a decade. Also, I got a bit sick of talking about telly with friends. It might be the golden age of television, but instead of insightful conversations about the nuances of long-form storytelling, every conversation now seemed to involve everybody comparing which bit of Breaking Bad they were up to.

But the main reason I gave up on Game of Thrones so fast? All through the first season, the characters held barely audible whispered conversations about some dude named Stannis Baratheon who was apparently super important. Which one of the many identical bearded men is Stannis, I pondered. Is he that guy from The Wire? Is he that guy from '90s British singing duo Robson and Jerome?

It was only at the end of the season I realized Stannis was none of them. He wasn't even in it.

Screw you, TV show!

Win or die

Winter isn't coming. Winter is here.

The eighth and final season begins April 14 -- that's 28 days from now. There are 67 episodes so far, which means between now and the start of Season 8 I'd have to watch 2.3 episodes per day to catch up.

That's doable. I guess.

The question is what it would do to a person, watching two and a half hours of muddy, bloody killing and copulating every single day for a month?

There's a strand of commercials currently on British television advertising Amazon Prime Video and depicting shows like Vikings and Lucifer changing the life of various abject viewers. A bleary-eyed dad gets into espionage thriller Jack Ryan and responds by dusting off his abandoned rowing machine and finally doing those jobs round the house, but with a dead-eyed intensity that clearly terrifies his kids. Meanwhile a browbeaten office worker watches Vikings and asserts herself at work by thumping tables and roaring wordlessly at her colleagues.

If that's what happens when you watch those shows, god knows what mainlining Game of Thrones would do to me. What kind of feral, fur-clad man-beast would I become?

Besides, the only thing cooler than being into something is very vocally not being into something. 'Game of Thrones?' I can announce loudly at parties. 'Don't watch it, mate.' Ian McShane knew this -- the straight-talking actor referred to Game of Thrones as 'only tits and dragons,' and he's in it.

Maybe I could throw in a 'It's just a Krull rip-off anyway,' just to really wind people up.

But I am tempted to become one of you. I could finally join in all those conversations at work, at the pub, online. 'Those two characters are obviously secret brother and sister,' I could declare confidently by the coffee machine. 'I so do know who Stannis Baratheon is, thanks very much!' I could scream through the letterbox at passersby.

You know what? I'm going to do it. I'm going to get into Game of Thrones.

There are a million episodes to watch, but I'm actually going on paternity leave any minute now, which means I'll have loads of free time on my hands, right? I'm pretty sure I already know every damn thing that's happened on the show anyway, thanks to the omnipresent headlines shouting spoilers across social media and news sites for the past eight years.

I'm all in. Seventy hours of bloody murder and dynastic carnage in less than a month -- let's do it!

Finally, I can join in with the people chatting in my office instead of cranking up my headphones like some kind of filthy pariah. Every Monday I can spend two hours talking about a TV show instead of working, and it'll be OK because the boss is the most excited out of everyone.

Finally I'll understand what you've all been so excited about, and I can share that excitement too -- if only for about a month.

I'll understand the memes. I'll be able to spend my lunch break reading detailed recaps of the episode I watched literally hours ago. I'll use clan banners as analogies in Facebook arguments with vaguely racist cousins. I could even start a fan theory YouTube channel.

I will be, belatedly, the ruler of the zeitgeist.

I will, once and for all, win the game of thrones.

Wait, there are books as well? Oh, come on!

Hilarious jokes barely save Toy Story 4 that lacks stakes: Great writing spruces up a sequel without the emotional pull fans might expect.
