We need fire, they have it, but instead their dragon GPS has been borked by the ice clouds and they're literally bumping into each other. The dragons have retreated to the clouds and are generally flying around being a bit useless. I spoke too soon! Back on the battlefield, Sam is being a bit useless so his ol' Night's Watch alum Eddison Tollett comes to his rescue. I've already finished my cup of tea and we haven't even seen any major deaths yet! Fire walk with me
Man, when she was at college with the Faceless Men she clearly majored in Knifemanship. "Stick them with the pointy end," she says. The fire is sucked away, the dragon flames are snuffed and everyone has that look of, "Oh crap, that was our ace in the hole." Up on the ramparts, Arya swiftly sends Sansa down to the crypt with a Dragonglass dagger. The battle briefly turns - fire is still beating ice - but a chilled hush soon settles over the battle and we realize that our fire ain't no good around these parts.
"The dead are already here," Dany replies. Jon is holding off on going full dragon this early in the piece. Watching over the battle, Jon and Dany are hanging out in their sweet outfits and weighing up the options. The wights are ready for battle and here they come a-tramplin'. You're going to want to watch this week's episode in a dark room. The Red Woman lights the Dothraki weapons on fire and we see flame sweep across their army, kinda like that moment on fireworks night when you all light your sparklers off the person next to you.īut in a scene that'll really make you wish you've adjusted the blacks on your terrible TV (there's a lot of that), the Dothraki meet the wights in the distance and their flame-hooks are very quickly extinguished. What's this? The Red Woman, aka Lady Melisandre, has shown up! Super handy, considering they're fighting ice monsters and we all know fire beats ice (except when it powerfully doesn't).
The Unsullied are ready to sully and the Dothraki are ready to Doth-Wreck. We open on the shaking hands of Samwell Tarly arming himself with Dragonglass and making his way the front line. The armies of Winterfell have had their big pre-battle sleepover and they're ready to face the dead, but what form will the dead take? How will they fight? No one learned any of this in battle school. The entire start of this episode is a class act in anticipation.
