Daenerys has some fun in a deleted scene from Game of Thrones season 8
By Dan Selcke
And there are more deleted scenes making their way around! Below, see a quick deleted sequence where Tyrion and Sansa save Gilly and Missandei from wights in the Winterfell crypts in “The Long Night”:

One the one hand, this scene fills a gap in the edit of “The Long Night,” where Tyrion and Sansa rush out from behind a sarcophagus and then just kind of…end up in an alcove with a few other survivors. And it’s nice to see them take a more active role in the battle against the dead.
On the other hand, this would have thrown off the rhythm of that sequence, which was big on slo-mo and eerie ambient music at the time. Also, does everyone have to fight? I always liked that there were some characters who just weren’t good at that sort of thing, whose gifts lay elsewhere. And really, if anyone is going to surprise action heroes I’d think it would be Gilly and Missandei, both of whom had much rougher upbringings than Sansa or Tyrion. I’m glad this bit was cut.
