The Killing Field

Published April 29, 2019 · Updated July 6, 2022

Gents,

First off, if you are ever hanging with Jon Snow outside of Winterfell, and he starts running: Run. The. Other. Way!

From his one man charge at the Battle of the Bastards to his head on attack of the Night King, Jon Snow never wants to be told the odds when he is on the fields outside Winterfell. Though, I think his charge at the Night King was “reasonable” given it seemed like the only answer to ending the battle. Do you all think this was smarter than his charge at the Battle of the Bastards? Has Jon Snow started to know something instead of nothing?

Also, what about Danny fighting beside Jorah? Not to make Gene cry again, but the majority of the dead she was fighting were the reanimated corpses of HER Dothraki and Unsullied. This had to have been like the end of Old Yeller over and over for her. Both terrifying and emotionally crippling to have to watch her warriors die, then have to kill them by hand, again.

Great episode.

Keep up the good work!

PS- Um, actually: learn the difference between Podrick and Gentry. Gene’s fan fiction slipped into the PodCast when he mentioned the relationship between Arya and Podrick.
