Game of Thrones Episode 508—Hardhome—Free Chat
Game of Thrones will try to sustain the narrative momentum it established in “The Gift” with “Hardhome,” an episode widely expected to revolve around a big battle at the titular location. Who will the battle be between? We can’t say for sure, but if I had to guess, I’d say Jon and the wildlings will team up to fight a group of interlopers we’ll just refer to as “unwelcome guests from up north.” Here’s the teaser.
- Start Time: May 31, 2015, 8pm CST

- Episode: Season 5, Episode 8, “Hardhome”

- Live Stream: Stream 1 – Stream 2
As always, the HBO synopsis is fascinatingly vague. Sansa confronts “an old friend.” If that refers to Theon, she’s already confronted him, sort of, and if it refers to someone else, then who? Also, it’ll be nice to have Arya back in our lives. She hasn’t had a ton of screen time this season, but she’s always made the absolute most of what she’s been given. I’m betting this is the episode where she breaks out that badass seaside orphan garb we’ve seen in production photos.
We’ll be back after the episode airs with recaps and reviews for both the book-readers and the show-watchers in the audience. You know, very soon, that distinction will be all but meaningless—what a beautiful/terrifying day that will be. Anyway, feel free to chat it up in the meantime.
