![]() I don’t know what’s more surprising, that Thoros survived or that the bear didn’t become instantly drunk by biting him. In a harrowing sequence, Frankenbear wastes several disposable Wildlings and takes a bite out of Thoros of Myr, before finally being cut down by Beric Dondarrion. (I’m sure there is a polar bear joke in there somewhere but I’m not going down that path). Speaking of bears, the A-Team beyond the wall runs into one, although this one just happens to be a wight-bear. It reminds of her a difficult truth, that she can no longer bear children. I think Dany still doesn’t fully trust Tyrion and she’s clearly in denial about the succession. ![]() The Mother of Dragons however, deflects the topic stating that it is something to worry about after the crown has been won. Tyrion being the long term strategist he is, knows it is not enough just to win and “break the wheel,” Daenerys legacy must outlast her life. ![]() Because of Dany’s dabbling with blood magic to save Khal Drogo in season one, Dany has been cursed to never bear a living child again. Although she states he is “too little for me.” Of more importance than the possibility of Jonerys (Jon + Daenerys, yeah I went there) is the elephant in the room that no one has wanted to address, namely who will succeed Dany after she dies. That’s all I know.” Considering Jon saw nothing beyond this life (or at the very least remembers nothing) I think that’s an ideology he can get behind.ĭaenerys’ attraction for Jon is becoming more and more obvious to all around her, including Tyrion. As Beric says to Jon, “Death is the enemy. Regardless their main goal is to fight death and to preserve life. And even though Beric insists there is a purpose behind it, he can’t explain to Jon what it is. Both Jon and Beric share the distinction of being brought back to life by the Red God. However, Beric and Jon have a much less light-hearted conversation, discussing their purpose in the current war. They’ll conquer the world.” The Hound of course thinks Tormund’s an idiot and calls him out on it, even though Tormund remains oblivious. There’s a very juvenile but hilarious dick joke and Tormund’s admission of his love for Brienne to Sandor Clegane. Said levity this week came care of the banter between Tormund and The Hound. In an age where too many shows revel in being grim, Game of Thrones at least has the decency to add moments of levity. There’s clearly some enmity between the two sisters, something that Petyr Baelish probably planned all along. Arya blames Sansa for their father’s death. ![]() Turns out it was the letter she was forced to write Robb when Sansa was held hostage by Joffrey and Cersei. After discovering the scroll in Littlefinger’s bedroom last week, Arya confronts Sansa. Next to Sansa I don’t know if anyone is more deserving of happiness at this point.Īt Winterfell, Lord Baelish’s machinations are starting to bear fruit. It’s one of those moments where you really hope Jon survives to see that day. He truly has not even considered the possibility of life after the “wars to come.” Let alone a wife or children. “May it serve you well, and your children after you.” You could see the look on Jon’s face. In an even classier move Jorah refuses remarking how he brought disorder to House Mormont. Maybe the most poignant moment came early on in the episode when Jon unexpectedly offers Jorah back his father’s sword Longclaw. Beforehand we basically get a sequence of intense conversations and confrontations, none of which however seem superfluous or unimportant. While the action doesn’t kick in until about twenty-five minutes left to go in the episode, after that its balls-to-the-wall craziness until the final chilling shot. Review: “Beyond the Wall” is an episode that some might consider fan service but which I consider the culmination of events we’ve been building to since season one. Dany makes a bold decision to fly North with her dragons to help Jon and suffers a terrible loss. Sansa receives a summons from King’s Landing and sends Brienne in her stead. On Dragonstone Tyrion advises Dany on Jon Snow and her possible successor. At Winterfell Arya and Sansa clash over the past. Synopsis: Jon, Tormund, The Hound, Beric Dondarrion, Thoros of Myr, Gendry, and Jorah range beyond the Wall to capture a wight.
