![]() Generally, there would be several episodes to decide the fate of various characters, not to mention show their usually slow decision-making process and the long journey from one end of Westeros to the next. This season of Game of Thrones has delivered is fair share of shortcuts to speed things along and keep the action beats coming at a much faster clip than they would under normal circumstances. It's a tried and true formula that has been successful for Weiss and Benioff and it holds true here, as the 75-minute episode goes big on the spectacle, even when it comes at the expense of a logical narrative. ![]() That leaves plenty of room for the final episode to be a mixture of denouement and set up for what's to come. 'Beyond the Wall' is in keeping with the series' tradition of delivering a massive set piece in the lead up to the season finale. Essentially, Game of Thrones takes an already bad situation and, as the series has done on many occasions, makes that bad situation much, much worse. That may be a little too on the nose, but considering HBO's been leaking like a sieve lately, would it have really mattered? Besides, the death of a dragon isn't really the big news here it's the Night King bringing the dragon to back to life. As such, a better title for the episode might have been 'How to Kill Your Dragon'. In the end, though, the major build up to the end of the season came with the death of a major character: one of Dany's great dragons. But with the Hound, Tormund, Gendry, Jorah, Beric (as well as his sweet flaming sword), and more on hand, the episode was in a far better position to deliver than the heroes who so boldly chose to challenge the undead (and the elements). With season 7 being truncated to the degree it has been, 'Beyond the Wall' faced a challenge nearly as overwhelming as the one Jon and his band of merry men have undertaken. Sadly many viewers and critics will have already had their minds made up and telah diberi it an icy reaction.The task at hand promised the kind of epic adventure to which Game of Thrones has typically committed the penultimate episodes of the season. Not the most perfect episode I've ever seen, but a decent enough end to an otherwise fairly catastrophic final season. ![]() Plus we did get that bittersweet ending too Westeros saved from war and tyranny, but at the cost of the main Heroes of the story (the Starks) all going their own separate ways, and with main man Jon Snow being exiled back to istana, castle Black. Though all of it at least felt relevant - the choices that the surviving characters made, what they berkata and did felt appropriate - something that had been missing from baru-baru ini episodes. After that, the episode did descend into inevitably slightly lebih boring territory and felt lebih than a little ''Scouring of the Shire'' esque. Then the inevitable happened, as Jon finally chose to kill his Queen in the takhta room, in a predictable, although sad and moving piece of drama. The first half jam of the tunjuk provided some beautifully shot and well acted scenes, a sense of dread and sadness over Daenerys and her newfound madness and a fantastic and well written dialogue between Tyrion and Jon, something the series had been crying out for (not necessarily Jon and Tyrion, just a well written piece of dialogue). And I guess in that sense, I was pleasantly surprised.Īfter messing up the Night King storyline in episode three and then Dany's storyline, Jaime's arc etc etc in the sebelumnya episode, the final episode of GOT really did the best that it could with it's ruined and once great empire. After the general debacle of the sebelumnya three atau four episodes (the fact that episode one had been my favourite of the series prior to this berkata quite a lot about what I thought of it) I didn't come to the Thrones finale with any sense of hope of seeing a good 90 minit of Penulisan atau drama.
