There are some silver linings in Viserion's death and subsequent resurrection, including the fact that it seemingly answers one of the show's longest-running riddles: "The dragon has three heads." Most fans agreed Daenerys and Jon were two of the prophesied characters who would ride dragons by the end of the series, but there has never been a clean common consensus on the third dragon-rider. Fans have long puzzled over the vision's meaning, and we might now have an answer. Over at The Hollywood Reporter, Josh Wigler observed a seeming link (opens in a new tab) between Viserion's undeath and a prophetic vision Dany had all the way back in Qarth. Sure, there’s a lot of waffle about how you need to see the undead to truly understand – but where every other big penultimate battle has risen organically out of the series’ events, this felt like a contrivance created solely so everyone could converge on King’s Landing next week for what looks increasingly like it’ll be the mother of all cliffhangers. Tyrion himself tells Daenerys-Not-Dany that Cersei won’t give a damn about her ice zombie present. But it's still a wonder anyone ever thought that would be a good idea. It's an issue that goes back to the original decision for Jon and his gang of gruff pals to venture beyond the wall in search of a Wight. The Guardian's Sarah Hughes expressed similar disappointment (opens in a new tab) with the way this final arc of Season 7 has been plotted out.
Perhaps the showrunners want to save all of their heartbreaking character deaths for the final season to really twist the knife as we enter the home stretch, but to have made it through two huge clashes without losing any of the characters we care about (sorry not sorry Thoros) is both unsatisfying and frankly unrealistic, given how gleefully the show used to dispatch its heroes and villains when we least expected it.
Why is the show suddenly being precious with everyone who matters? Tormund and Jorah both landed in situations that would have killed them during earlier seasons. Mashable's own Laura Prudom has had quite enough of the narrative shortcuts and artificial tension-building. Here's what the experts are saying about Game of Thrones' Season 7 journey "Beyond the Wall." We also said goodbye to, Uncle Benjen Stark - the lame version of "Coldhands," if you know the books - but only Jon knows or cares.
Viserion is (un)dead, Thoros is gone too - and with him, the power to resurrect stabbed Jon Snow. Did you catch Daenerys' 'Terminator' moment in 'Game of Thrones'?īut oh, what it cost them.
