Also, I was kind of hoping Jon Snow would stay dead? (Also, while we weren’t watching, raven technology was vastly improved and a messenger bird can now apparently travel at the speed of a single tweet.)īaker: I could pretty much deal with a far-too-conveniently-timed appearance by one fire-wielding beast, but layering Benjen Stark's arrival on top of that was a bit much. I miss the drunk, womanizing Tyrion of the past. It reminded me that Tyrion, who was once a freewheeling delight of a character, is now just a bland voice of reason who is supposedly responsible for keeping an ill-tempered queen under control. What was your least favorite part?īereznak: Tyrion’s conversation with Dany. … Let’s just not talk about where the Night King got those chains.
Gruttadaro: Viserion being dragged out of the ice in the last shot of the episode was legitimately cool. This exchange reminded us that there are even more powerful forces at play: self-awareness and choice. So much of Thrones hinges on the weight of the family name, the pull of legacy. Rubin: It’s hard not to pick Tormund learning the word “dick,” a high point even for our most loquacious wildling, but I’ll go with the Jon-Jorah Longclaw chat. Find yourself two men who will chat about ya like that. Kram: Beric's religious contemplation-he doesn't know what his god wants from him, only that he must be alive for some purpose-added a subtle, grounded subplot in an hour packed with dragons and zombies.īaker: Tormund and the Hound's convo re: Brienne. That elicited my only audible reaction.īereznak: I liked it when Tormund said he was gonna make big, conquering babies with Brienne of Tarth. Litman: When the bear comes charging at Snowcean’s 7. Katie Baker : Definitely fan service, but I was the fan being serviced, so. Zach Kram : I should have watched the leak, because then I wouldn't have been disappointed on Sunday night. Juliet Litman : This was among the worst episodes of this otherwise excellent show because the entire premise was absurd. Sixty seconds after the episode: “Man, that was rough.”īen Lindbergh : For the first time, Game of Thrones feels as dumb as any other big-budget CGI spectacle. Mallory Rubin : I don’t want to write a tweet-length review because I don’t want to encourage the belief that rushed exposition makes for good storytelling.Īlyssa Bereznak : Incredulously stupid suicide missions beyond the Wall sow incredulously bad GOT episodes.Īndrew Gruttadaro : Thirty seconds after the episode: “That was fun!” What is your tweet-length review of “Beyond the Wall”?
After yet another momentous penultimate episode of Thrones, Ringer staffers dragged themselves out of a freezing lake to answer some questions. There were undead bears, flying spears, a very fast man named Gendry, and a few things that didn’t make so much sense. Sunday night on Game of Thrones, seven men ventured north on a (suicidal) mission to capture a White Walker, the very thing that’s threatening the continued existence of the human race.
