The second episode of the final season of “Game of Thrones” gets underway tonight on HBO.

As you all know, I’ve been following everything related to the show like a hawk ever since the season seven ending. Season eight, the final part of this journey, premiered last Sunday, and I thought it was very solid. (RELATED: These Are The Sexiest Photos Of ‘Game Of Thrones‘ Star Emilia Clarke On The Internet)

Now, some other people had mixed reactions, but all the chess pieces are now in place. That’s what was necessary, and the season eight premiere got the job done.

Tonight should have plenty of action. Jamie is in Winterfell, and judging from the preview, Daenerys is going to weigh potentially killing him.

However, I have a bold prediction for what will happen tonight. Daenerys can’t kill Jamie. It would ruin any further alliance with the Lannisters, which already seems like it’s off the table.

If she kills him, then she’s truly becoming the mad queen. Yes, I understand he murdered her father, but Jamie’s story arc isn’t going to end with Dany murdering him. (RELATED: ‘Game Of Thrones’ Returns With Great Season 8 Premiere Episode ‘Winterfell’)

He’s too important.

I have a feeling the two of them are going to form a very unlikely alliance. It would be the perfect progression for Jamie to finally abandon Cersei in favor of Daenerys. Sparing him would also show Dany’s a much more rational leader than some in Winterfell might currently think.

Plus, Tyrion being on her side doesn’t hurt. Let’s not forget Jamie freed his brother from being executed. My guess is that favor won’t be forgotten anytime soon.

Secondly, I fully expect the battle with the Night King to commence tonight. The preview seems to make that pretty clear, but you never know what to expect when it comes to “Game of Thrones.”

We need that battle sooner than later, and the slowness of the premiere makes me think things are going to speed up very fast from here.

We also didn’t see the Night King at all in the first episode of the final season. Again, it’s another sign he’ll make an appearance tonight.

Tune in on HBO at 9:00 p.m. EST to watch all the action go down. We’ll see if I’m correct or not.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
