Like, they’re completely subsumed in moments. But then so many freaking undead soldiers rush over them like a wave at high tide. PLAN B? | You can hear the zombie horde approaching as Grey Worm puts on his helmet and orders his men to stand at the ready. “The dead are already here,” she replies as she leaves. Daenerys sees this and goes to leave, but Jon tries to stop her, saying, “The Night King is coming.” She’s having none of it. Jorah is one of them, but he’s not doing well.
From their stance back at/in front of Winterfell, no one can see exactly what happened.
Jorah is right there with them, and Ghost is at his side, which makes me ridiculously happy for all of a minute before the hit the army of the dead and all of the flames get snuffed out like birthday candles in the rain. Jon and Daenerys watch the Dothraki fire brigade cross the countryside. “I’ll be dead before the dawn.” Then she and Arya exchange a long look across the courtyard, but the Dothraki start screaming and riding into the darkness, so I guess now is when all the carnage begins? OK, cool. “There’s no need to execute me, Ser Davos,” she says flatly. Haven’t forgiven you for Shireen.) As she rides past Grey Worm, she says, “Valar morghulis,” and he replies, “Valar dohaeris.” Then Davos orders the gate opened, and as he watches from above, she rides in. The flames spread throughout the army like a fiery wave, and it’s pretty damn cool looking. “Tell them to lift their swords.” So he does, and she grabs one and starts reciting a prayer that lights every single one of the weapons ablaze. “Do you speak their tongue?” she asks of the Dothraki, and he nods yes. Then a ride approaches Winterfell: It’s Melisandre, who goes right up to Jorah. Jon finds Daenerys looking out over her assembled forces, but says nothing. Everyone stares into the darkness, and the tension is killing me and WE ARE TWO MINUTES IN. Then Sam joins Edd, who tells his former Night’s Watch brother “You took your time.” We see Brienne, Jaime, Pod, Tormund, Beric, Genry, Dolorous Edd and The Hound get into position. Drogon and Rhaegal screech overhead, the Unsullied step into place behind the Dothraki, and it’s super quiet. Davos, Tyrion, Sansa and Arya - everyone’s just waiting. The troops are marching out, people are filing into the crypts, and it’s an intense mood all around. TENSE MOMENTS | Despite his big talk last week, Sam’s hands are shaking a bit as the episode opens. Read on to find out exactly how deadly the Battle of Winterfell turns out to be, and steel yourself for “The Long Night.” Oh, pre-Episode 3 me, you sweet summer child. Even though I knew the Battle of Winterfell would mean heavy casualties, I was praying to both the old gods and the new that this week’s Game of Thrones would spare some of the characters I love most dearly.
