Game of Thrones Season 8, Episode 1 was filled with plenty of big moments that weren’t completely obvious. Did you catch them all? Here is what you missed.

As expected, Game of Thrones Season 8, Episode 1 was brilliant. Capturing the awe and attention of fans around the world, the premiere of the final season of the HBO series couldn’t have gotten off to a better start. Filled with one epic, elephant-sized moment, fans were abuzz last at everything going on in the premiere.

Did you catch everything that happened though? Even all the small tidbits and hints to the earlier seasons? Here is a look at what you missed.

Other than a moment involving a certain ginger-haired man, who we will come onto in a minute, and a few other moments, Game of Thrones Season 8, Episode 1 was a throwback episode to the series premiere. If you watched it recently you no doubt spotted all the throwbacks, if you didn’t, don’t worry, we’ll look at it now.

But first, the ginger-haired man! And no, I am not talking about the man who has always had blue eyes, Tormund Giantsbane, I am talking about Ed Sheeran.

That’s right, the singer made an appearance of some sorts in the premiere. It was during the scene with Bronn and the three prostitutes.

Now you will be forgiven if you missed the Ed Sheeran throwback because this scene was funny. Bronn is trying to have a good time and all three of the girls are talking about what happened to the poor boys who were burnt beyond recognition by Daenerys’ dragon.

One of them specifically mentioned a boy called Eddie, who no longer has a face or eyelids. That Eddie is Ed Sheeran. Or so it is being claimed.
