One of the three dragons in all the land, a beautiful creature, has been snuffed out. I was clutching my seat when we were about to lose Tormund, and Viserion's death still makes my gut clench due to its bloody and horrifying outcome. I loved the spectacle of Jon & Co fighting the undead and seeing the dragons swoop in to save the day. No time for that though, it's MASSIVE BATTLE O'CLOCK! LoadingĭAN: OK, OK, let me get this out of the way first… The massive battles are great, but I think the thing I've enjoyed most so far this season has been all of these characters coming together and watching them interact. If anything all these scenes just made me wish we had another season's worth of stuff getting to this point. Even after losing a few layers of skin, Jorah has still kept his sense of honour. I really liked that issue of Longclaw came up. PETE: Our hopes for a saucy love triangle were dashed pretty quickly with a sweet scene between Jorah and Jon. That might have had some effect on Jon's actions later in the episode. Tormund was also there to offer a well-aimed remark at Jon that Mance Rayder didn't bend the knee and ended up dying for his pride. NOTE: There are actually 13 of them, but the nameless fellows carrying the packs don't have a very long life after meeting the zombie bear and the undead army. Gendry, being the greenest, gets a good hazing from the other six. I think Gendry is suitably freaked out now after Tormund told him, "We have to make do with what we've got" because there were no women within 100 miles. Sure there's the letter, but when Robb read it back in season one he understands the position Sansa was in when she wrote it, so why can't Arya?ĭAN: There was a lot I didn't like in this episode but the BANTER from the Magnificent Seven north of the Wall was amazing. I'm not buying any of it.Ĭan Littlefinger please be killed off in next week's finale and Arya leave Winterfell for King's Landing? Pretty please!? If she was, why did she return to Winterfell instead of heading south to King's Landing? I guess the big draw for her is protecting Jon, but Sansa is also family.įor her part, Sansa is speaking sense - she's not betraying Jon and she's trying to keep the "weathervane" northern lords busy.īut I feel this whole squabble is just a manufactured feud to give these characters something to do while the main team get up to the big stuff. PETE: In her defence Dan … she did spend the past two seasons training at the House of Black and White soooo…ĭAN: Fair enough, but remember she's not solely an unfeeling assassin. The note she found last episode has been brought up and there's absolutely no understanding from Arya that the world isn't black and white. We've known since season one that Arya and Sansa don't get along, but Arya must have lost her wits on the boat ride back from Essos because there's no reason for her to be warring with her sister. Just completely wipe it from the map after the Arya/Sansa DRAMA we've just seen. I'd be cool with either.ĭAN: I vote we kill off the Winterfell plotline Pete. Either that or Tyrion suggested the ruler of Westeros be chosen by an Ironborn Kingsmoot. We're getting a baby Targaryen by the end of this thing. What's that mean when we get an extended discussion about replacing one of the main characters? We're literally seven (!!) episodes from this series being over forever, so every single moment, every single plotline *should* have a purpose when it comes to wrapping this whole thing up. This episode was full of 'em but I really enjoyed this back and forth between the pair - even if it was a discussion about one of the dumbest plans we've seen on the show.īut all that talk of succession came outta nowhere didn't it? Let's start with our brief little stopover at Dragonstone for some interesting discussion between Dany and Tyrion. PETE: In a season that has been all about cramming as much into 60-odd minutes as possible as it hurtles towards a finale Dan, it's kind of weird to only have three plotlines to talk about this week.
