Okay, I've been gone from my own blog for too long. And naturally, I'm back because of Game of Thrones. Work and commuting have been so time consuming. I spent all day in front of the PC and most nights, I would just write somewhere else. I didn't really feel like making similar posts to like I did for a the few last episodes on previous season. And what hasn't been said? All the theories out there, from the possible to nonsense ones, are enough to cover it. But I have to because Season 7 Episode 6, 'Beyond The Wall', is INSANE. I'm just gonna make some point and I'll try to keep this short.
First of all, I kind of hate the fast pace of the whole season. Like, I get why they do it. But it used to take so long to travel across Westeros and now they just make it so fast, that sometimes it feels so unreal. Yes, to me the traveling time feels unreal, not the dragons and ice zombies. Ha.
I'm really disappointed with Arya and Sansa's scenes in tonight's episode. I read a theory last week, that Arya was actually aware that Littlefinger is tricking her. I was hoping so hard that and we still have the finale to prove it, but I think it's unlikely. Arya is the one who was never really 'exposed' to Littlefinger's manipulations game. But I still hope that she will see it soon, given her training with the Faceless Men. Okay, next.
Spoiler alert, obviously.
I said to my friends that it will be fair if Daenerys lost one of her dragons. By that I mean, one of them will probably be controlled by the dragonhorn that was supposedly in the possession of Euron Greyjoy. But no. The Night's King turned out to be a very well trained athlete (maybe he trained during those long ass summer?) and got himself a freaking dragon, instead. Sure. Have it your way. It was a lot more heartbreaking to see than I thought it would be. It's my sensitive pet owner heart, I suppose. Don't blame me.
It's also really interesting. You know that theory that Tyrion is also a Targaryen because he's the Mad King's son? I never want to believe that theory. But people were like, you know, the dragon has three heads and they believe each are represented by Daenerys, Jon, and Tyrion as the last Targaryen. Well, now that Viserion is gone, I guess it's only Dany and Jon now, huh? I'm not sure how to feel about the possibility of their romance, though. Also, there were like tons of fanart of Night's King riding a dragon before Season 7 started. It makes sense, but I never really put much thoughts on it. Mainly because I thought the dragon would be controlled by that damn dragonhorn. So to see it on screen kind of feel like seeing a fanfic (fan theory, in this case) came to life. Some pretty solid theories have been proven so far. Let's just hope the theory that Bran is actually the Night's King to be one of them.
And lastly, I read about an actor being cast as Rhaegar Targaryen. I get a feeling that we'll get another flashback on the season finale. I really just want Jon to know about his parents, okay?! I would also like to know Cersei's plans/next moves.
Overall, this episode was pretty messy emotionally and narratively. So, yeah, we'll see what will happen next.
