He plunges into ice, reemerges, staggers around and draws the attention of the wights who are going to tear him to shreds but for the return of Uncle Benjen/Cold Hands, who fights back the wights with some fire, gives Jon his horse and gives up what's left of his life to save his nephew. Jon takes on the fight so the rest of the gang can escape by dragon. Regardless, the raven arrived, Dany - against Tyrion's warnings - dragoned up and saved most of the gang (Thoros doesn't make it) - but at the cost of a dragon. Like this thread, which estimates that with stops for food/drink/rest a raven would need two days to get from Eastwatch to Dragonstone. Time compression has simply been a recurring thing all season, and I hate to join the choir, because this IS fiction and there's nothing anybody can do about it now.īut just know this is a ridiculous plot kink that others have considered in far greater detail than I have. The gang sent Gendry back to Eastwatch to send a raven to Dany to let her know bad $#!+ was going down.
Then the wightbear attack, which went poorly for Thoros, who was a marked man going in, followed by a few wights. Jon was kind enough to offer Jorah his sword Longclaw, which you'll remember was gifted to Jon by Jeor (Jorah's pop) a gazillion seasons ago. Mostly the gang beyond the wall talked and looked cold. The one about all the lords he's met was perhaps the best in his wonderful collection. He's good at fighting, he's better at clipped and minimal conversation during transit salting his minimal dialog with a lot of "next Tuesdays," if you know what I mean. "Beyond the Wall" was heavy on comic relief early on, which is usually the case when the Hound is on a journey. I barely remembered what else happened in the episode, so great was this tipping of power. This is simple but rather significant math. The number in the Night King's employ increased by one. The number of dragons in Dany's employ has been reduced by one. So we now go into the final episode of the show's next-to-last season. Now I'm left wondering if an ice wight dragon can breathe fire. My original broad stroke speculation was that the dragons would do battle with the White Walkers and likely prevail.
