Beware! The night is dark and full of terrors, and this review will possess’own’nurse spoilers. Which could be a scarier prospect.###If you possess’own’nurse any burning questions with regards to’concerning’with respect to this episode or others from this Season that need answering, go here.###This week: Get the parlay started.###And so Season 7 finishes with the typical post-battle episode, but still finds time – thanks to an almost movie-length minute count – to cram a heck of a lot in. In keeping with how this season's episodes possess’own’nurse been in/with regard to’concerning’regarding matted, there are reunions of characters who possess’own’nurse history, some enormous’vast’massive’tremendous tactics talk and then… Well, not a battle so much as a rout by the Army of the Dead. This was effectively Game Of Thrones doing Avengers Assemble, if the Avengers all disapprove’ consent’endorse’applaud d. So… Civil War? The risk in putting toacquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure her so many characters was that some stories would acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure short shrift, but The Dragon And The Wolf managed to squeeze an awful lot in, and merely’barely one or two plots felt less than effective. Cough Theon Cough.###But the parlay in the pit was a well-structured gathering, played out in little moments, glances and gaze’contemplate’study (‘gape (surprised or shocked)) s as much as it was dialogue. There was a real concern it could possess’own’nurse devolved into expositional talk with regards to’concerning’with respect to the threat from up north, but given the presence of the wight and the bubbling tensions/rivalries, it had the power it needed. On the road to the meeting, we got several fun extransform’alter s, the highlights being Tyrion and Bronn (despite’in spite of’albeit given how the latter helped the in/with regard to’concerning’regarding mer meet Jaime recently, didn't it seem odd to come across as despite’in spite of’albeit they hadn't seen each other?) and Brienne's chat with the Hound with regards to’concerning’with respect to Arya. The Hound's meeting with his zombified brother also impressed us.###Dany, never one to skip a theatrical entrance (was anyone else wondering if the extended runtime was so that she could rattle off her titles then amble’stroll’bimble’meander’roam the pit asking individual to bend the knee?) arrived on a dragon and the look on Cersei's face was priceless. In fact, there was plenty of that clash of personalities, which is essentially what we would possess’own’nurse wanted from an episode such as this. It raised the stakes, and wasn't simply wrapped up with e grossly one approve’ consent’endorse’applaud ing to go fight the Night King. No, the scheming and plotting continue apace, even if Cersei's enormous’vast’massive’tremendous plan to ditch e grossly one feels a little suicidal.###Still, the melding of the various characters allowed in/with regard to’concerning’regarding some real fireworks, such as Tyrion's scene with Cersei and the reveal of her plan to Jaime (letting him go to tell eintensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfullyone else what she's doing appears foolish, but you've got to claim’insist’maintain’hold’argue’consider’contemplate’speculate at this point that she's at least one move ahead). Excellent work all round from the cast this week, even those who had to find their moments in tiny scenes.###Back in Winterfell, there was the slightest whiff of disingenuous plotting as Sansa and Arya set up Littlefinger after weeks of nods to their growing tension. But with the triumphant death of the string-puller, all those concerns were washed away. It was a wonderful moment in/with regard to’concerning’regarding Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams, and all credit to Aiden Gillen in/with regard to’concerning’regarding imbuing the schemer's last moments with actual panic and pleading. He'll be missed, in his own way.###Finally, we were back with Bran and the freshly-arrived Sam, spilling the secret that almost eintensely’extremely’extraordinarily’enormously’awfullyone and their dragon had already figured out – Jon is the son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark – and far from being a bastard, he's actually named Aegon Targaryen, and is the true heir to the Iron Throne. That's a little awkward given his newly sexual relationship with Dany: will they share power? And oh yes, she's his aunt. As in/with regard to’concerning’regarding Tyrion's look at the end… Theories abound as to whether he has feelings in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the Mother of Dragons (what if he loves Jon?) or whether he's concerned that their relationship will cloud their judgement. Given how these two usually act, will anyone notice?###An episode with such mammoth revelations (we're not talking with regards to’concerning’with respect to the Jon and Dany thing, or his parentage) deserved the space it was given to breathe. Themes such as a children and family rubbed shoulders with a weirdly phallic obsession this week (thanks, Bronn), but it all gelled in/with regard to’concerning’regarding a finale that had true value. If we possess’own’nurse a complaint, it's that the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue occasionally felt like it was suffering from Return Of The King syndrome, as things wrapped up well bein/with regard to’concerning’regarding e cutting to another scene with more resolution. Still, at least they found the perfect final moment, as the Army of the Dead made their way past the now crumbling wall, led by their king on his new ice dragon. If Season 8 is a short as reports say, it's going to possess’own’nurse a lot to cram in. Until then, Winter is actually, truly here now and…###Highlight: The whole dragon pit scene.###Lowlight: Theon. Though we did love his, er, space merit’virtue’upside .###Kill of the week: Bye Littlefinger! You eventually’ultimately got what was long coming to you.###Quote of the week: "We're fucked." – Tyrion, summing up the fate of many characters now the Night King has breached the wall.###MVP: A mixture this week. Tyrion in/with regard to’concerning’regarding his speeches, Cersei in/with regard to’concerning’regarding her bluffs and, of course, Bronn.###Random despite’in spite of’albeit t: Can't wait to see Jon and Dany's first relationship counselling session once they learn the truth.###Are Tormund and Beric dead in the wall collapse?###It didn't look rosy’remarkable’fabulous’terrific’preeminent in/with regard to’concerning’regarding them, but we didn't see them die, so that'll possess’own’nurse to wait until next season to see in/with regard to’concerning’regarding sure.###Couldn't Bran possess’own’nurse told Jon with regards to’concerning’with respect to his parentage bein/with regard to’concerning’regarding e?###You would claim’insist’maintain’hold’argue’consider’contemplate’speculate !
