Good talks had by all, but when Jon and the other men find themselves in a whiteout storm, they are attacked by an undead polar bear. Jon does not really care about the Lord of Light, but Beric breaks it down for Jon, showing him that it is very simple really, he fights for life, to keep others alive and defend those that cannot defend themselves. Both men were brought back to life, Beric multiple times, and so Beric feels a kinship with Jon. This feels like the reveal about Jon’s parentage is going to happen very soon. The Hound’s use of profanity is alive and well as he tells Tormund to “f-ck off” and he even teaches Tormund a new word, “dick.” But, Tormund is not affected by anything the Hound says and decides to tell him about the woman he is jonesing for, how he wants to “make babies with her” (there it is again), and when Tormund describes Brienne, the Hound immediately knows exactly who Tormund has the hots for.įinally, Beric points out that Jon does not look like his father, Ned, which is true because Ned is not really Jon’s father. It is clear that Tormund and the Hound need their own spinoff. He then tells Jon, “May it serve you well, and your children after you.” Hint hint. But, Jorah does not accept the sword from Jon, acknowledging the shame he brought to his family. As they move along, Jon and Jorah have a bonding moment when they discuss their respective fathers and Jon tries to give Jorah Longclaw, the sword Jorah’s father gifted to Jon. It is all over the episode and Game of Thrones was not subtle about it at all. Kristofer Hivju (Credit: Helen Sloan/HBO)
Tormund reminds Jon that pride sometimes does not get you very far, pointing out that Mance Rayder was a proud man that never bent the knee as Jon refuses to do with Daenerys, but too many people died for his pride. Of course the Hound is nearby to keep things in perspective and tells Gendry to stop whining because they have all been through some gnarly stuff. Gendry is still bitter about the Brotherhood Without Banners selling him off and almost getting him killed. They catch up with each other along the way, supplying some entertaining and revealing conversations. Too bad the boys cannot really enjoy any of that since they are freezing, so they need to keep moving. Jon and his not so merry men are on their journey north and shots of the majestic landscape are breathtaking. But, the episode did not disappoint, presenting a twist that many have speculated could happen. Game of Thrones’ penultimate episode, Beyond the Wall, premiering on Sunday August 20th, felt like a cross between Hardhome and Battle of the Bastards with maybe the slightest bit less intensity since the situation felt all too familiar. But where did he get the chains? The end is nigh, winter is here, and, with only one episode left, the Night King and his army come face to face with some of our favorite characters.
