I think they may have been standing there for at least two days, just staring at each other. But the demise of Thoros raises the narrative stakes it’s clear that nobody in this team is going to be reanimated, unless it’s with glowing blue eyes. Rather thoughtlessly, Beric doesn’t even try that prayer thing that Thoros did so often for him. It’s at this moment that Thoros quietly passes away. Instead, they trap themselves in the middle of a frozen lake, surrounded by the army of the dead, watched over by the Night King. I’m really not sure why the remaining six don’t follow him. The deathly storm that signals the approach of the Night King arrives, and Gendry is sent back to the Wall so Daenerys has a reason to arrive just in time. You get the feeling that a kidnapping was the very last thing the wight expected, and it doesn’t quite know what to do about it. The boss is defeated after a one-hit kill, and the rest of the wights disintegrate, officially pushing Thrones away from Lord of the Rings, and into Skyrim territory.īut one wight remains “alive,” and the scene where they bind and gag the confused creature is actually kind of hilarious. Luckily, Jon’s Valyrian sword is super effective against ice-type foes, and the Walker shatters. The seven then encounter a small band of wights led by a solitary White Walker. I was kind of hoping they’d take the creature South, but they set him alight, making The Hound succumb to his old phobia, which leads to the inevitable mortal injury of Thoros. Winter beyond the Wall looks horrendous this jagged, icy landscape appears completely inhospitable to life.Īs for the bear, it’s fun to see non-human wights, and the formidable beast serves as a prelude for things to come. The prelude to the bear’s attack is wonderful the landscape is suddenly obscured by snow and fog, highlighting the ridiculously perilous situation they’ve walked into. The first sign of trouble comes in the form of the most unexpected polar bear since Lost. Daenerys shares this recklessness, as we’ll come to see. Jon Snow appears to be almost indifferent to his own survival, unless he’s on the battlefield, in which case he’s seemingly indestructible. If he’d been a different man he might have harbored bitter resentment toward Jon, or at the very least, keep the priceless sword.
Luckily, Jorah’s a pretty reasonable guy (apart from that whole slave-trading thing), so he simply hands it back.

Jon knows full well that this blade is an invaluable weapon in his war against the White Walkers, but it doesn't matter, it’s “rightfully” Jorah’s. This is a bit of a punch in the gut for Jorah, no? Probably the sort of thing you should keep to yourself, but Jon brings it up immediately.
Jon also happens to be in possession of Jorah’s family sword, Longclaw, given to him by Jeor, who even changed the handle of the precious family heirloom from a Mormont bear to a Stark wolf. Jeor, deceased captain of the Night's Watch, inspired much of Jon’s devotion to protecting the realm, but serves as nothing but a painful memory for disgraced Jorah. Jon speaks with Jorah during the long walk through the snow, and the two bond over their shared connection to Jeor Mormont, Jorah’s father. But why send the King in the North? Isn't he too valuable to send on a suicide mission? And shouldn’t he send a raven to Sansa once in awhile? Sure, send some guys down to steal one if it’s that important. This is a lot of effort to kidnap a zombie, but whatever. It wasn’t his plan, admittedly, but Jon chose to lead the expedition. The character was basically a glorified 1-Up mushroom, and his ensuing death only serves as a reminder that Beric’s next brush with death will be his last.īut before we talk about the battle, let’s talk about how annoying and illogical Jon Snow is.įirst off, this entire plan was pretty stupid. We learn that the key to Thoros of Myr’s bravery lies at the bottom of a bottle, and that’s all we’re ever going to know about the man, really. Poor old Jon seemed like he needed a pick me up, and Beric is the only other man who knows what it’s like to die, come back, and continue to fight against a seemingly impossible cause. Or in Jon and Beric’s case, not that invincible. Jon is seemingly feeling down, but is inspired by the words of Beric to keep fighting death, the invincible enemy.
