Nick Evans ****MAJOR SPOILERS FOR GAME OF THRONES “BEYOND THE WALL” AHEAD**** Well. That could have went better. Game of Thrones always delivers a doozy with its penultimate episode of the season and Beyond the Wall was no different. It was every bit as intense and brutal as we have come to expect from Game of Thrones.
The penultimate episode of any Game of Thrones season is always either action-packed, has jaw-dropping moments, or both. This trend looks to continue with this Sunday’s episode as Jon Snow & Co. venture beyond the wall to try and capture proof that the enemy is real. Let’s be honest, this is a terrible plan. It
After a slower Game of Thrones episode filled with complex dynamics and game-changing reveals, we are heading into the penultimate episode of the season. This traditionally pivotal and action-packed episode promises that finally, “Winter is Here”. The Suicide Squad. The Magnificent Seven. The Avengers of Westeros.

Eastwatch was a quieter episode of Game of Thrones compared to the previous week, as pieces were moved to set up a climactic final two episodes this season.

Tyrion on Game of Thrones may be lacking in the military strategy department but he knows politics. Can he convince Dany not to burn everyone alive?

With the Night King marching on Eastwatch on Game of Thrones, Jon Snow is not long for Dragonstone. Given the pace of this season it is quite possible that all the dragonglass the north needs will be mined by next episode. Daenarys Targaryen will be returning to Dragonstone coming off a big ‘W’ after listening
Cersei is the least self-aware character in Game of Thrones. What terrible decision will she now make in response to Dany? She continuously overreacts and is surprised when her plans backfire. Littlefinger thinks so far ahead we can’t even discern his moves, while Cersei’s moves are reactionary and short-sighted. It is safe to say this
While we earlier questioned whether Jamie Lannister is alive and will be made prisoner, again — the biggest puzzle box on the show right now is what’s going on with the Valyrian steel dagger. Will somebody, anybody, please explain what the deal with it is? It seems that speculating about what Littlefinger is doing is a
Winter is here and this season of Game of Thrones is continuing to snowball. Every episode has ramped up the stakes and each battle is bigger than the last. Last week’s episode concluded with the lamely-named Loot Train Attack (seriously, Field of Fire 2 was available). Despite the name, this incredible battle was one of
