April 29, 2019 Join The Watch | Ep3 | Game Of Thrones: Endgame – Winter no more?
Join The Watch Ep 3: Game Of Thrones' Endgame – Winter no more?
17 spoiler-laden minutes
Who saw that coming? The Battle of Winterfell was packed with heart-stopping, scream inducing moments. At points every one looked close to death.
But some deaths are bigger than others.
Host Jonathan Roberts is joined by ST's Olivia Ho, Jan Lee, Hairianto Diman and S Sakthivel.
They discuss the big moments of S8E3 and ask: Where do we go from here? Who dies next? And when will Hairianto let go of GenYa?
That's as much as we'll say here. You'll have to listen to get the spoilers.
The final season of Game Of Thrones premieres in Singapore on HBO (Starhub TV Ch 601/ Singtel TV Ch 420) and can be streamed on HBO GO app.

Join The Watch Ep 2: Predicting the first big death in Game Of Thrones' final season
28 spoiler-loaded minutes
The second episode of Season 8 may have been low on action and high on quips but it gave us a lot to chew on – namely who won't make it beyond episode three. And there are a lot of candidates for who will be left on the battlefield.
Host Jonathan Roberts is joined by ST's Olivia Ho, Melissa Heng, Hairianto Diman and S Sakthivel.
Do you agree with the choices? Who do you think will be the first major character to die?
And is Daenerys becoming less stable the more her reign over The Seven Kingdoms looks less likely to happen?
That's as much as we'll say here. You'll have to listen to get the spoilers.
The final season of Game Of Thrones premieres in Singapore on HBO (Starhub TV Ch 601/ Singtel TV Ch 420) and can be streamed on HBO GO app.

Game Of Throne's final season has begun and we are not holding back on spoilers.
Host Jonathan Roberts is joined by ST's Olivia Ho, Melissa Heng, Jan Lee, Hairianto Diman and S Sakthivel.
The team discusses the highs points, the spoilers, the dragons, the reunions and the potential shipping (as the kids say).
All that and even more theories for what is to come. Have we seen the seeds of 'The Mad Queen' finally germinating?
That's as much as we'll say here. You'll have to listen to get the spoilers.
