Hey guys and welcome to my final review for Game of Thrones Season 7, exploring Episode
7 The Dragon and the Wolf.
Well that was pretty amazing, overall I liked the episode though I had a few issues, but
the final scene left me feeling super hyped for the next episode, then instantly disappointed
when I realized it was like 2 years away.
But right now let's just jump right into it with my top 5 moments of the night.
At number 5, there was the reunion between Sam and Bran and their discussion about Jon
Snow's true parentage.
Seeing them discover the whole truth together was great and intercutting it with the scene
of Jon and Dany spending the night together really shows how complicated things are going
to be, because there is no way, at least in my opinion, that Jon Snow will be okay with
sleeping with aunt once he learns the truth, and while Daenerys may be willing to go along
with it because of the traditions of her house, Jon was raised by New Stark and I believe
will chose to honor those values over the Targaryens ones.
At number 4 I chose the meeting in the dragon pit.
Seeing so many characters who hate each other so much and have spent so much time apart,
all gathered in once place seemed like a recipe for disaster.
And while Jon Snow's unfortunate honesty nearly disrupted the talks, I was shocked
to see it ended with no casualties.
At number 3, there was the prelude to Cleganebowl, when Sandor saw his brother at the meeting
and confronted him, seeing the horrific changes that he'd gone through.
Although Gregor cannot respond, his younger brother makes it clear they will meet again
some day, implying that Sandor will be the one to kill the Mountain once and for all.
At the number 2 spot, I chose a moment that was very nearly my favourite of the episode.
All along I've found it insane that Jon, Daenerys and Tyrion would put their trust
in Cersei.
It seemed beyond obvious she would betray them, and while I can't help but despise
Cersei for everything she'd done, I also felt a great sense of satisfaction to hear
that she was playing them all along.
I thought it was ridiculous that Euron Greyjoy would flee so easily, but when Cersei revealed
that it was all part of her plan I couldn't help but smile.
Then she mentions the Golden company and I can't wait to see them bring their war elephants
across the narrow sea.
The Blackfyre Rebellions, are some of my favourite stories from the history of Westeros, and
so seeing the mercenary company founded by the blackfyre supporter Aegor Rivers who upon
his death, asked that his skull be dipped in gold and carried with them when they finally
conquer Westeros.
And so I can't wait to see them carry their banner of golden skulls into the continent,
and to hear them say their warcry, beneath the gold the bitter steel.
At number one there was the final scene of the episode, where the army of the dead arrive
at the wall as the dragon viserion shoots blue dragonfire to break apart the wall.
I absolutely loved the look of the icefire or whatever that was, and watching the wall
finally fall after seven season really looked impressive.
For a while I thought maybe Tormund and Beric died when the wall came crashing down, but
watching it again it appears they made it to the other side in time before the east
section of the wall fell.
I was a little sad though that this scene went by so quickly, I thought the wall coming
down would be more drawn out, but it looks like they are done with it.
Now I'm guessing the remaining night's watch will have to try and make their way
to winterfell where the westerosi armies are gathering.
For now though it looks like the northern lands like Last Hearth are probably going
to get wiped out in the early part of next season.
Now as much as I like the episode, there were a few parts I wasn't thrilled with, like
the Mountain failing to protect cersei when she was attacked by the wight.
He was right beside her but didn't throw himself between them, definitely a fail on
his part.
Then there was pretty much everything that happened in Winterfell.
None of this made any sense to me, none of it seemed properly built up, Petyr Baelish
is a guy who fought Brandon Stark in a duel to the death and refused to beg for mercy
even when he was about to be hacked to pieces.
But somehow he immediately gets on his knees to beg for his life.
It just did not seem like him at all.
Everything about this seemed silly to me, Sansa, Arya and Bran already had all the information
they presented against Littlefinger a long time ago.
He betrayed their father, killed Lysa and conspired against Jon Arryn.
None of this is new information.
All that was needed was Bran to speak to his sisters so why didn't they just have that
conversation when Bran first arrived and immediately deal with Littlefinger.
Instead they had all this pointless drama between the siblings the ultimately led no
where and killed Littlefiner who should never have allowed himself to be surrounded by enemies
in the first place.
For the first half of this series Littlefinger seemed like he was the smartest man in Westeros,
a cunning mastermind creating an intricate web for mighty ambitions.
But by the end he was just another incompetant schemer with no real longterm plan.
Then there was Bran's vision of Rhaegar's marriage to Lyanna.
As much I dislike the Targaryens, and Rhaegar in particular, I enjoyed this scene, and didn't
even mind that he looks almost identical to Viserys.
I was however a bit surprised to hear Bran refer to Jon as a Sand, since that definetly
would not have been Jon last name, even if Ned wasn't his father.
The name Sand does not apply to where you were born, it would only apply if at least
one of Jon's parents were from Dorne or if he was raised there.
Even if Jon was still a bastard his name would be with Snow, because he was raised in the
North, or maybe Waters, because his father was from the crownlands.
But it would not have been Sand.
That aside, what really kind of ruined this scene for me was the revelation that Jon's
real name was Aegon.
Now don't get me wrong I understand that Rhaegar probably didn't choose the name
and that his first son Aegon was already dead when Lyanna named her son, but in that moment
it just sounded so ridiculous that both of Rhaegar's sons were named Aegon, I couldn't
help but picture a scene from one of my other favourite shows called rick and morty, when
the father character Jerry announces "I'm mister Crowbar.
And this is my friend, who is also a crowbar."
After that I just started laughing out loud and couldn't enjoy the scene as much as
I wanted too.
But even with those problems I still loved the episode and so I'll move on to
The best kill of the night, and while I did not like the set up or circumstances surrounding
this death, I can't deny that Arya looked like a badass, quickly slicing Littlefingers
throat, and leaving him to bleed out and die in the home of the man he betrayed so many
years ago.
The best line of the night, goes to Cersei, who after the meeting with the dragon queen
tell Jaime it was all a part of her plan, saying:
"Do you really think Euron Greyjoy turned tail and sailed back to the iron islands?
Do you think he abandoned the chance to marry the queen?
No one walks away from me.
He's sailing with his fleet to Essos, he's going to ferry the golden company back here
to help us win the war for westeros."
Overall I gave the episode a 9 out of 10 and as for the season as a whole I ended up giving
it an 8.5 for the amazing visuals and memorable moments, but couldn't score it high because
many parts of the storyline this season didn't really work for me all that well.
But what did you guys think of the episode and season overall?
