Heck, he might be able to fly over or around the Wall just like Daenerys did, though that wouldn’t help him get his army of wights into Westeros any faster.ĭespite the major loss, Jon and his band of merry men did get the wight they needed to convince Cersei this threat is real. To lose Viserion is a major blow, but to have the Night King resurrect Viserion and add it to his ever-growing army of wights, giants and bears is an even bigger threat. It's something her Hand, Tyrion, has repeatedly criticized, and though he could have found a slightly more tactful way to bring up who would succeed her should she die, "Beyond the Wall" proved it was a prescient question.Ĭersei Lannister might not have had the means to kill a dragon two episodes ago, but it turns out the Night King had a slightly more impactful Scorpion-like bolt in his arsenal (and slightly better aim than Bronn). That loss is one of the most game-changing moments in Game of Thrones to date, and hopefully will be a good wake up call for the dragon queen, who has, until now, been acting as though she’s invulnerable. Heck, the episode doesn't even make it evident which dragon died beyond it clearly not being Drogon. Despite the incredible action sequences and solid performances from the stars, this week's episode hurdled headlong through major plot developments without time to let them breathe or let their stakes become clear. But "Beyond the Wall" also suffers more than any other episode to date from the rushed, truncated storytelling in Season 7.
