Stannis obviously didn’t have a fighting chance against the Boltons, though he fell into Brienne’s hands easily enough. I was surprised that they showed next to nothing of the battle itself, though I suppose I shouldn’t have been something like that is more episode nine fodder. Of course it was obvious that he wasn’t going to win that battle, but it was hard to not think that Stannis defeating Ramsay would at least be the lesser of two evils. I’m not sure whether to be appalled or pleased that even after losing Selyse and all those men, even after Melisandre apparently abandoned him, he kept pushing toward Winterfell. “Mother’s Mercy” didn’t waste any time bringing us up to speed with Stannis – rightfully so, half his army and his wife didn’t take too kindly to what happened with Shireen. And it’s still Maisie and Sophie, so when you say ‘Cut,’ they start laughing and dancing and listening to music on their phones.That’s that, folks…another season of Game of Thrones wrapped up, and at this point even us book readers don’t really know what happens next. The tension between them, they handle it so beautifully. In some of the scenes between them, where it’s really a power play between two matched opponents, you feel the ground shift one way and then shift the other way. We’re pushing into deeper and darker things, and they’ve really grown to be able to do that. “They were great at doing what they were doing, but they’ve evolved so much as actresses as well as characters. “That was a revelation to me because I was there in Season 1 and 2 when they were kids,” he said.
GAME OF THRONES BEYOND THE WALL TOO PREIDCATBLE SERIES
According to Taylor, he witnessed firsthand how much series stars Maisie Williams and Sophie Turner have changed with the characters over the years. This week’s episode also saw an escalation of hostility between Arya and Sansa, who were finally reunited this season after being split up at the end of Season 1. “If the show was struggling, I’d be worried about those concerns, but the show seems to be doing pretty well so it’s OK to have people with those concerns.” “It’s cool that the show is so important to so many people that it’s being scrutinized so thoroughly,” he continued. So I think we were straining plausibility a little bit, but I hope the story’s momentum carries over some of that stuff.” They seemed to be very concerned about how fast a raven can fly but there’s a thing called plausible impossibilities, which is what you try to achieve, rather than impossible plausibilities.


I think that worked for some people, for other people it didn’t. I think there was some effort to fudge the timeline a little bit by not declaring exactly how long we were there. We tried to hedge it a little bit with the eternal twilight up there north of The Wall. “We were aware that timing was getting a little hazy,” Taylor told Variety. “We’ve got Gendry running back, ravens flying a certain distance, dragons having to fly back a certain distance…In terms of the emotional experience, sort of spent one dark night on the island in terms of storytelling moments. Alan Taylor, who directed “Beyond the Wall,” explained how the production team approached the timeline during filming. While the “Game of Thrones” episode “Beyond the Wall” had many talking about the insane fight sequences between humans, zombies, and dragons, others were more concerned with gaps in the timeline of the storytelling.Īfter the episode aired, fans vented frustrations online that Gendry running back to Eastwatch, sending a raven to Daenerys, and Daenerys arriving to save the day with her dragons all happened far too quickly. SPOILER ALERT: Do not keep reading if you have not seen Season 7 Episode 6 of “ Game of Thrones,” titled “Beyond the Wall”
