Questions Raised by Season 7 Episode 6
Okay, only one week left after this in this abbreviated season, if you want to read my recap of “Beyond The Wall” you can find it here:
Here are the Questions for Discussion I saw raised in Season 7 Episode 6 (please feel free to answer questions or add new questions in the comment section):
Why would any of Tormund’s men volunteer on an away team mission designed to capture White Walkers?
Why would Jorah give up claim to Longclaw (given it is one of the only Valyrian Steel blades left on the face of the earth?
What did you think of the Magnificent Seven (Jon, Sandor, Jorah, Gendry, Thoros, Beric, and Tormund)?
Why would Arya go straight to Sansa and confront her with the note (tipping Sansa off to the risk that Arya could turn the lords of the North against her)?
Why didn’t Arya suspect Littlefinger purposefully planting the note at all (given her background and training)?
Why would Sansa immediately go to Littlefinger? Why would Sansa trust Littlefinger? Why would Sansa not suspect that Littlefinger leaked the information (he was the only person at Winterfell who was there when she signed the note to Robb)?
Why in the world would Sansa send Brienne to King’s Landing when she feels surrounded by threats and Brienne has been MUCH more loyal to her than anyone else in Westeros?
Why didn’t Jon and his team try to break or melt the ice separating them from the White Walkers (and extending the time for rescue) given they have to followers of the Lord of Light?
Why did Tyrion keep needling Daenerys after she was already grumpy with him (he usually understands persuasion)?
Why did Tyrion all of a sudden learn that you make plans around the most likely responses of your enemies after an entire season of pulling silly plans out of his arse?
How in the world did Daenerys get North of the Wall in time to save the Magnificent Seven (minus Gendry and Thoros)?
Where did the ship Jon and Daenerys float home on come from?
Where did the Night King get 100’s of pounds of Iron Chains?
Okay that is enough for tonight, since it is after 2 am and I am exhausted from a long day of writing. Hope everyone had a great weekend!
