OMG! There is so much to like about the Seventh Season of Game
of Thrones. If you have been watching the series up to now, then
you are sure to like that all the stories thus far have now
merged into one. I look at Season 7 as the Reunion season
because certain characters are reunited at long last or meeting
for the first time. Sansa is reunited with both Arya and Brandon
separately, which delivered emotionally and then there is the
meeting of Jon and Daenerys. These are the scenes I have been
patiently waiting for and they were fantastic. I will say that I
never even thought of Jon and Daenerys as a potential power
couple. I thought the undertones of sexual tension between the
two was great. You see two hard asses slowly shedding their
metaphorical wall they have put up for themselves.
I'm trying to remember as much as I can about this season
because there was so much happening. At the forefront, the main
plot of this season is Jon and his cohorts going on a White
Walker hunt to capture a "living" walker as proof of the
impending Great War that is barreling toward all the Kingdoms. I
never thought about them actually going down this road and it
makes perfect sense they would need proof if they are to
convince everyone else to join in their fight. And speaking of
the White Walkers, the second to last episode was easily THE
episode of the season. The showdown between 6 men against 100k
White Walkers was beyond exhilarating to say the least. Having
Daenerys and her Dragons coming in to save the day was a
cheer-out-loud moment for sure.....that ends in tragedy, which I
absolute saw coming a mile away. What I didn't see coming was
the forethought of the White Walkers to actually salvage the
dead dragon and 'turn' him into a White Dragon to be used as
their own weapon against the Kingdoms.
The Season Finale could be considered a "let down" because of
the preceding episode that was wall to wall action, but it's
nothing short of perfect. With the Finale, it was THE face to
face meeting we have all been waiting for as Jon, Daenerys and
the rest finally sit down with Cersi and try to convince her to
stand with them in the Great War. Man, watching her, makes me
really hate her more so than ever before. I can't stand her,
which makes her a villain you absolutely enjoy rooting against.
So, with their "alliance" finally cemented, that leads us to the
cliffhanger that sets up the Eighth and finale season of Game of
Thrones. But before I talk about that, I want to talk
about.....Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish first.
FINALLY! I have been patiently waiting for him to get his
comeuppance for 6 seasons and the pay off was perfect. I love
how they set it all up with Baelish thinking he was outsmarting
both Sansa and Arya by meticulously laying traps for both to
turn against each other, only to reveal at trial that it was he
that was being set up all along. What makes the pay off all the
more sweeter is that during this cat and mouse game, the writing
was painting Sansa as a power hungry "Queen" in waiting, willing
to kill Arya and Jon in order to ascend to the throne. This is
where the trial comes into play as Arya is to be tried,
convicted and executed for her "crimes", thus leading to the
twist at the end with Baelish actually being the one on trial.
His demise was....poetic justice, coming at the hand of Arya.
Now, let's talk about that cliffhanger. Sheesh! That was amazing
to see. The White Walkers come upon the Wall. The Keepers of the
Wall are safe right? I mean, it's a wall of ice. They sit atop
of the Wall looking down at the White Walkers with no way to
climb or enter through the gates. Enter the White Dragon in all
his fiery glory, laying waste to the Wall in a matter of
minutes. This was such a monumental moment that I will never
forget this....ever. Ending the season with the White Walkers
crossing over the debris of the wall into the valley makes me
salivate for Season 8. I absolutely can't wait. Doesn't drop
until 2019 though. Sigh. Anyway, this season is one of the best.
I highly recommend this as a Must-Buy for sure. 5 Stars out of
5.
With that out of the way, one last thing. Since it usually takes
a year, year and a half for me to watch each new season, I don't
remember all the small details, especially regarding the lineage
of the characters. So, big reveal about Jon parentage suggest
that he and Daenerys are Brother and Sister? I'm starting to
think that this series isn't about White Walkers and Dragons,
but about Bro and Sis shacking up. *Shudders*
