But at least he didn’t have to sit in the middle of a frozen lake surrounded by cranky corpses for days. And he had to get rid of his damn hammer! Poor dude. But he kind of got set up to do one thing, then veered in a completely different direction. Sure, it makes sense – he’s apparently their fastest runner, so sending him back was strategic. He joined wanting to fight and eager to use his hammer, but when it came time to fight, they took his hammer and told him to leave. I think when he first started showing care for Sansa so many seasons ago was when he started to grow on me, but I enjoy him even more now. I’d never thought a character who used such foul language and had such a brutal exterior would end up being one of my favorites, but here we are. I never thought I’d love the Hound so much. His rock throwing scene in particular was golden, though I can’t exactly repeat those lines word for word on this website. The best lines from the entire debacle beyond the wall belong to the Hound. That said, if this were the first six seasons of the show all these interactions would have probably been scattered through several episodes, cut between various other story lines across Westeros. This has taken seven years out of their careers and propelled them into a much higher level of fame than they had before, but I can see why they’d want to wrap it up and move on. And they probably want to move onto other projects, too. Without the source material to base the story on, Benioff and Weiss are basically running off of cliff notes. And the entire thing felt like it was on fast forward, but I suppose that’s to be expected. The beginning of the episode was a tad clunky with all of the small interactions between our plucky band of heroes. We’ve got to face the Cersei drama eventually, but not this week – she can just stew in King’s Landing, freaking out about Daenerys, for a little while longer. The closest we get are the Dragonstone scenes between Daenerys and Tyrion, and then later when Daenerys departs to rescue our dream team from the Night King. In fact, we never actually see the southern six kingdoms in the entire episode. ‘Beyond the Wall’ focuses on Daenerys and the North, which are the two plot lines that keep me hooked on the show. ‘Beyond The Wall’ was basically all the things I love about Game of Thrones, and almost none of the things I hate… with one glaring exception.īefore we get into my major grievance with the episode, let’s talk about all the amazing things that I loved (and minor issues).
