Hence tonight’s premiere can really be divided between the events which occur in Winterfell and the events that occur outside of it. We really only visit three models during this opening, and one of them-dear Last Hearth, a home occupied for centuries by House Umber-is sure to be missing next week. The Wall lies smashed, and therefore all locations not immediately impacted by that disaster prove irrelevant. This intent to begin drawing a curtain across the world is announced in the most visibly altered opening credits in Game of Thrones’ history. Presumably by the time the Dead arrive at Winterfell, the show will be downright claustrophobic. Once a show that premiered with a vaguely dizzying amount of names in the locations of Winterfell, King’s Landing, and Essos, now even the latter continent has vanished in tonight’s echo of the series’ first episode.
