Will this drastically change the army of the living’s strategy?ĭL: This is huge, but maybe not as big as the little note that the Night King isn’t impacted by dragon fire. Staying North, we learned something big about the White Walkers in that when you kill one, all the wights it raised from the dead die as well. After all, it makes it so that Beric only has one life left.ģ. That said, there are reasons everyone survived and it makes sense that Thoros was the one who was killed. I was scared for Tormund especially when he was being tugged into the water. It set the stakes and made us worry that, yes, the heroes could die. In my mind, either only Thoros would die or everyone but Jon would die.

JS: I was extremely torn on who would die. On the other hand, the show has gotten much more stingy with important characters dying. Considering the danger of the mission, you’d think more than one of these guys would have died. It seemed pretty likely that the The Hound (for rumored reasons), Jorah (it would be lame to kill him right off after his big return), and Gendry (see: Jorah) would at least make it to the finale. That kind of dialogue scares you that something bad may be coming.īut we knew Jon wasn’t going to die. I did think Tormund was a goner for a second, and I had wondered about him even when he talked about having Brienne waiting back in Winterfell. Especially considering how dumb this “capture a wight” plan was in the first place, and how unrealistic the rescue by Dany was. I appreciated at least narrow escapes for Tormund and Jorah, and I could have been fine with the eventual casualty list if they’d spent less time fighting or faced a less overwhelming horde, but it felt like there was too much plot protection here. Fighting that kind of undead army, and the only casualties are Thoros and a bunch of expendable redshirts? It doesn’t seem to quite fit. Thinking back, I’m surprised more didn’t die considering how close some of them got to dying.ĪB: This was surprising, especially given what they were up against. The plan itself was so insane and crazy that I thought there was no way at least two or three of the seven would die. Well, Sam won! He guessed correctly for 6/7 but kind of 7/7 (Sam said one of Thoros or Beric would die, but didn’t specify).Īnyway, more importantly, were you surprised only Thoros died in that group?ĭL: I was shocked that only Thoros died. Last week, we all guessed who was going to die from the group of Jon, Jorah, Tormund, Thoros, The Hound, Gendry, and Beric. Let’s get the shaming out of the way second. And now they have to play it safe, be stealthy and kill the Night King.Ģ. Taylor Nigrelli: When the dragons swooped in and started frying the wights, I started to question how the final season would even be interesting.
