Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhile most of the walking scenes beyond the Wall were filmed in Iceland, the frozen lake sequence was filmed in the Wolf Hill rock quarry near Belfast, Northern Ireland. The set was completely paved with concrete to serve as the ice, dressed with (plaster) rocks, and then covered in fake snow. About a 1000 links were made and painted to create 400 feet of rusted chain. According to the crew, the actual temperature was so cold that the actors did not have to act as if they were freezing.
- GoofsIt is not explained why Jon and his crew don't simply break the ice around them as soon as it forms to ensure the dead are never able to reach them.

Tormund Giantsbane: Did you trip into the fire when you were a baby?
Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane: I didn't trip, I was pushed.
Tormund Giantsbane: And ever since, you've been mean.
Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane: Will you fuck off?
Tormund Giantsbane: I don't think you're truly mean. You have sad eyes.
Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane: You want to suck my dick, is that it?
Tormund Giantsbane: Dick?
Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane: Cock.
Tormund Giantsbane: Ah, dick. I like it.
Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane: I bet you do.
Tormund Giantsbane: Nope, it's pussy for me. I have a beauty waiting for me back in Winterfell. If I ever get back there. Yellow hair, blue eyes, the tallest woman you've ever seen. Almost as tall as you.
Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane: Brienne of Tarth.
Tormund Giantsbane: You know her?

Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane: We've met.

Tormund Giantsbane: I'm good at killing people.

A quick reminder, here are the things that made Game of Thrones an amazing and unique show that both hardcore fantasy fans and those not so much into fantasy could enjoy, for at least four seasons:
- Scheming, plotting and politics. There were so many layers of betrayal, intrigue, and loyalties (and lack thereof). How many times we were shocked to see key characters unpredictably turn on each other. How sophisticated the political relations that did not treat the audience as idiots.
- Truly gruesome violence and head-turning sex scenes. Few movies or shows have displayed such graphic deaths. Sure, there are splatter and gore movies that are "worse", but it's a completely different thing to see it realistically portrayed and happening to characters you're heavily invested in. GoT has on multiple occasions left me trembling from shock.
- Multi-layered, deep, interesting characters. None of the characters felt like stereotypes or flat. They were always surprising you with new depths and character development. They were smart, deep and interesting. Compare Tyrion in the first two seasons to the Tyrion in the last two. He's completely uninteresting, a shadow of his former self. Same thing with Jaime. And it's not because of their character arcs. They've just become bland, stupid Hollywood stereotypes, completely hollow.
- Unpredictability and sense of danger. There's been no other show where you always felt that anything could happen, any time, to anyone. And just when you thought that you'd hit bottom and surely a sweet revenge story would start and things would get better. Nope. Things get worse. And worse. And gruesome, heartbreaking and still surprising.
All of this is gone now. It's become totally predictable, stupid popcorn entertainment. There's barely any intrigue left, all characters are boring and one-dimensional, nothing really shocking. I started feeling it in the sixth season, but that still had its highs. Now this episode. Not only is it a bad episodes, it's actually so poorly written that it lifts the veil off the preceding episodes of the season as well. It was still possible to ignore the worrying signals, until now, but this episode actually manages to remind me of how far off the track this show has gone. It's really, really sad.
