Game of Thrones: Season 7 episode 6

Let's just jump right in, because I'M SAD!!!

So many thoughts about what went down beyond the wall, but first and foremost R.I.P to a real G, Uncle Benjen.

He stayed coming in clutch, first for Bran and now for Jon. I never thought I would be so emotional over someone who's been in a total of maybe 3 episodes, but this hurt.

You were a good man Ben, unfortunately being a Stark was just not in your favor. I will never forget you (though I have previously a bunch of times).

While we're on the topic of death.

NOT THE DRAGONNNNNN, WHY COULDN'T IT HAVE BEEN JORAH?!

I felt like I too, got an ice spear to the chest. R.I.P. Viserion. You were a good dragon, unlike your namesake.

Now, before all this death, the GoT Suicide Squad decided that the wisest thing for them to do was to go beyond the wall and capture the walking dead.

Of course, that wasn't the greatest plan because it was all but 7 of them and maybe 3 unknowns they were willing to sacrifice versus THOUSANDS of dead.

Jon—why do you do this to my heart?

I'm giving my MVP of the suicide squad to *drum roll please: *

GENDRY!

Because, wow. Homeboy moves as fast as a dragon, and they would all be dead if not for him (though, some might argue we might have one more alive dragon. Not me though, I will always choose Jon.)

Now let's talk about the myth, the legend and the Queen, Daenerys fucking Targaryen. I love her. I truly do. And before this episode, I really don't think I've ever said that. I've thought she was a boss, and I've rooted for her, but after episode 6 —I love her.

And I think loving her, has made be hate someone that I have previously loved...Tyrion.

Quick poll: WHO ELSE HATES THIS MAN NOW?

He has nonstop pissed me off every episode this season and I just can't for the life of me understand why he is running scared. He just whines all the time and complains that she's being too harsh, when HE is the one not doing his fucking job.

Idk, idk, maybe it's me. Maybe I'm the mad one, maybe I've watched this show for too long and just became ruthless.

Daenerys is IN my heart, Tyrion is OUT. I bend the knee.

When she came riding in on those dragons, those were the only happy tears that I experienced and I couldn't have asked for a better moment.

Now speaking of moments….

READERS! PEOPLE OF THE WORLD, I feel weird. I take these recaps very seriously, and if I'm being honest like I always am, I felt a little Team Jaenerys?

Ugh, I know. I am literally the first one to scream, ’THAT'S HIS AUNT.'

But you know emotions are high. Jon almost died again, she lost a child, THEY DON'T KNOW! And there's just mutual respect that is too beautiful to ignore.

SN: I really can't wait until this fucking series is over, so I don't have to undergo weird ass emotional, moral dilemmas. Also, things I think about —If Jon has children, what last name would they have? I mean, if he's married they wouldn't be bastards, so they shouldn't be named Snow. Would he take his wife's last name? THESE ARE THE QUESTIONS I HAVE! Asking for other bastards, Jon will be Targaryen (one way or another if you know what I mean).

Back at Winterfell, I'm so annoyed by both Sansa and Arya that I don't even want to discuss it, but I will.

Last week, I was #TeamArya but this week I'm #TeamDamnAryaCHILLLLLLLLL.

We're all annoyed by Sansa and her stupid fucking decisions and alliances. However, she's a survivor same as Arya, no matter how she got it done.

I had hoped Arya would be wiser, and see past LittleFinger's BULLSHIT and it seems as if Sansa is definitely playing into his hands, but Idk now. I feel about Sansa the same way I feel about Cersei, in which I never underestimate her.

I'm hoping in the long run, she sees that she's being played, Arya is not her enemy, and she will continue to lead wisely. Idk, this could be a stretch but I need to hope damn it!

Next week is the season finale, and now that Jon is still alive he's going to do what he does best and not go back to Winterfell. I might not get my full Stark reunion this time around, but I’ve been greedy. I’m super nervous for next week, I probably will cry a lot. I just hope the dragons survive.

FINAL THOUGHTS:

YOOOOO IS YARA DEAD!?? I truly hope not, but I haven't seen her since I thought she might have survived, and I'm getting worried.
