Jon makes it back to Eastwatch, but he’s in bad shape. But that didn’t happen.Īlso, unrelated: Someone cast Uncle Benjen (Joseph Mawle) as a Jedi in another Star Wars film. For a second, I thought Rhaegal was going to go back for him. And obviously, Jon survives, but only because of his Uncle Benjen. She makes it back to Eastwatch with most of the guys and just two dragons. Likewise, Dany did exactly what she didn’t want to do (as explained to her other boy toy last season) and let her feelings cloud her judgment. Jon lingered and deserved to fall through the ice afterward. I’m sorry, but that is both Dany and Jon’s fault. So the Night King launches a giant icicle spear and brings down Viserion easily, to the horror of everyone standing there. Of course, Dany’s too worried about Jon to see the oncoming attack or take off. When Drogon lands to pick up the crew, Jon (stupidly) continues to fight off White Walkers while the Night King decides he’s about to catch himself a dragon. Please, come on, Dany. Come on, Dany.”Īs expected, the tides of the battle change quickly. I know for a fact that I wasn’t the only one praying at the TV, “Come on, Dany. Come on, Dany. Come on, Dany. Just before they’re all about to die, three dragons fly over the wall.
Tormund almost dies, but the Hound saves him before Jon tells them all to fall back. The bros do their best to defend their rock, but they’re overpowered by numbers alone. He starts to throw rocks at the hoard, leading the undead army to realize the water has frozen over again. The following morning, Thoros succumbs to his wounds, so they burn his body as the Hound grows impatient. Gendry makes it back to Eastwatch (barely) and gets word to Dany, but that still leaves the men stranded on a rock for their second night there. As the White Walkers charge after them, the ice breaks and they start to fall through, effectively ending their siege in the nick of time. Naturally, as it is the Arctic of Westeros, the group runs across a bank of thin ice to take shelter on a big rock. Then, they start running for their lives. Jon commands Gendry to run back to Eastwatch and send a raven to Daenerys. Thoros gets bitten, but Dondarrio uses his fire sword to cauterize the wound and he keeps walking.Įventually, they end up finding a small White Walker camp, where they manage to take a White Walker captive, but not before it cries out for help and alerts the rest of the army.
As they walk, Tormund talks about the woman waiting for him at home and how he wants to make “great big monsters” (read: children) with Brienne of Tarth.Īfterward, we go to Dondarrio and Jon, where we learn that Dondarrio has joined the battle, just to fight: “I am the shield that guards the realm of men.”Īll the cute conversations come to a screeching halt when night falls and a dead bear attacks the group. The Hound says he doesn’t like gingers, while Tormund says he has sad eyes. However, my favorite exchange happens between Tormund and the Hound. I have a really hard time listening to anything Jorah says because of Iain Glen’s decision to return to Resident Evil. He talks to Jorah about their respective fathers and the deaths they met until Jon offers his sword Longclaw back to Jorah, who believes it belongs to Jon regardless.
With a lot of time on their hands and no PlayStation or WiFi, Jon Snow gets a chance to talk to everybody. Back in his element, Tormund gets to shine by quips about his old days as a Wildling where he kept moving to keep his balls from falling off, made do with what he had when there were no women around, and even encourages Jon to bend the need to the “dragon queen” to save his people.
Beyond the Wallįor the most part, there’s a lot of banter between them. To recap, Jon Snow has decided to go hunt for a White Walker beyond the Wall with Jorah Mormont, Gendry, Tormund, the Hound and the rest of the Brotherhood without Banners.
