The Stark Sisters’ Beef Heats Up Even More (We might as well just called this episode “How to Kill Your Dragon.” Heh.)įrom then on, I knew that this was going to be on the Night King’s advantage (we’ll get to that in a bit). True enough, I felt the Queen’s shock and sadness as she watched Viserios tumble to the snowy ground and sink beneath the lake after the Night King kills him with his ice spear. As Drogon and his two dragon brothers Rhaegal and Viserion flew over the army of White Walkers, I couldn’t help but think that what Dany did was a really bad judgment call. But thanks to Gendry, he was able to swiftly alert the Night’s Watch and Dany that Jon and company were in deep trouble. Tormund almost dies and it seemed as if this was the last time we’ll see all of them together. And off goes the remaining Baratheon heir. Jon urges Gendry to run and send a raven for help. The zombies closed in and left the team outnumbered. I wonder where their human logic came from (remnants of human past? Magical juju by the Night King?). Now comes the weird part: for some reason, the zombie knew that they could now walk on the frozen surface and proceeded to attack. One rock didn’t hit, and it fell on the ground. The Hound was angry at them and so he decided to taunt one of the zombies by throwing rocks at them. Iain Glen, Kit Harington, Kristofer Hivju in Game of Thrones (2011). He survived that mauling, but ultimately died when they were all trying to fend off the White Walkers. Many of their comrades died, the first one being Thoros as he was previously mauled by a zombie polar bear. They put up a good fight, almost losing Tromund along the way. Our hearts skipped a beat and we all cheered on when we saw Dany fly over the Lannister and Tarly army in “The Spoils of War.” And yet, in today’s episode, we see the same thing happen again, this time with the Mother of Dragons suiting up to come to Jon’s aid, albeit objections from Tyrion Lannister (Peter Dinklage).Īs Jon and his group were able to acquire a zombie, a huge army began to flock towards them. The Iron Throne won’t matter in the long run as we finally come face to face with the White Walkers. The dragon plummets to his death and sinks beneath the lake (the showrunners are really a fan of drowning characters this season, huh?), never seen from again-or so we thought.Īnd so, here are the notable highlights this week on “Game of Thrones: Beyond The Wall.” It’s Not A Game of Thrones Anymore But A Game of Dragons and ZombiesĬlearly, “Game of Thrones” is heading towards a premise that deviates itself from its title. You know what, scratch that it’s actually a 5-foot ice spear used as a projectile that went plunging straight through Viserion. However, the Night King had something that far more powerful than what Cersei’s Hand, Qyburn, thought as the ultimate anti-dragon weapon-a blasted ice pick.
Just when things seemed to be hopeless, Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) comes flying in with her three dragons to smite the zombies with fire. They’re obviously outnumbered, and they do their best to fight them all off. An almost-war with the White Walkers ensues, trapping Jon in the middle of a frozen lake. The episode focuses mainly on the journey as Jon Snow (Kit Harington), together with Tormund (Kristofer Hivju), Gendry (Joe Dempsie), Jorah (Iain Glen), Thoros of Myr (Paul Kaye), The Hound (Rory McCann), and Beric Dondarrion (Richard Dormer) encounter zombie threats along the way. Surely this would convince Cersei Lannister that there are far more important dangers than her claim to the Iron Throne. Jon and his band of brothers venture beyond the Wall to acquire a living-dead member of the White Walkers to present as proof that the Night King’s army of snow zombies is out to take the entire continent of Westeros out. Season 7, episode 6 gives us a haunting glimpse of what could happen once the White Walkers finally go head to head with the human residents of Westeros in “Beyond The Wall.” After teasing Jon Snow’s journey in “Eastwatch,” we now saw how devastating it all turned out to be. This is by far the craziest “Game of Thrones” episode ever.
