But when he spoke of making big babies with Brienne, I got worried. Tormund-dispensing advice about surviving both the cold and lack of mating material-was the star entertainer of the road trip.
The scenes of chitchat between Jon, Gendry, Tormund, Thoros, Beric, Sandor, and Jorah felt like a remedial refresher on the backstories of some characters who’ve been out of the spotlight for some time. This was an extra-long episode, but it’s worth noting that it wouldn’t have been so extra-long with all the exposition foisted upon the snowy expedition. Like the Northern Lords that Sansa fretted about to Littlefinger, Khaleesi has become a weathervane. But the way she pings between trusting Tyrion’s cleverness and then questioning his motives before flying off to use her dragons to kill feels more determined by the needs of the overarching plot than anything we’ve come to understand about Dany herself. But if she really thought Jon’s mission was stupid, why did she sign off on it in the first place? We get it, she’s inwardly conflicted. Would-be heroes are always going off and doing stupid things, complained Dany (can I still call her that?). The show did try to acknowledge the insanity of the mission in the scene between Daenerys and Tyrion, the season’s umpteenth dissection of the tension between waging war with brutal effectiveness or righteous care. If Cersei’s going to cease hostilities with Daenerys, it’ll only be so she can stab her in the back, not because she’s been impressed by a screechy corpse in a bag.
So should Tyrion and Jon, the architects of the plan. But by now, viewers know better than to expect a smidge of concern for the greater good from her. The plan to go grab a zombie and present it to Cersei relies on the notion that Cersei might well be persuaded to band with her enemies to fight a common foe. It didn’t help that the premise of the night’s big plot line was built on a foundation brittler than a frozen lake. bagged: trapped, disoriented, and frequently screaming in frustration. To be sure, the cinematography and effects did deliver the goods we’ve come to expect from the previous blow-outs like “Blackwater” and “Battle of the Bastards.” But sitting through the episode, it was hard not to relate to the wight that Jon & co. You could feel the strain throughout “Beyond the Wall,” this season’s battle-heavy blockbuster. Brooksīut Benioff and Weiss’s emphasis on building the show primarily for payoffs is taking a toll on the quality of Game of Thrones in general-consistent logic seems to drive the action less than it once did. Summing it up (or rather, breaking it down) beautifully, one fan pointed out the sheer number of plot holes and inconsistencies in the episode, calling the whole thing "absurd".The Clocklike Regularity of Major Life Changes Arthur C. The episode mostly follows the journey of Jon Snow and his band of not-so-merry men as they venture beyond the Wall to capture a wight in order to prove a point to Cersei.
Yes, it appears that episode six of season seven is what annoys fans the most – and to be honest, we can totally understand why. The most hated moment of all, though? The whole of 'Beyond the Wall'. The fan site gave its users 13 options to choose from, including pretty much everything from the return of the Sand Snakes to where the Night King got that handy set of chains from. too convenient, let's say.Īnd that's something that the majority of the Thrones fanbase agrees with, after viewers over on Winter Is Coming compiled the definitive rundown of season seven's worst moments. There's no doubt that we thoroughly enjoyed Game of Thrones' most recent season, but there were a few moments that were a little.
