This act has definite echos to The Lord of The Rings, when Éowyn kills the chief Nazgûl and says, “I am no man!” You see this head Ring-Wraith could not be killed by any man, but Éowyn was up to it. The giant is in the process of killing her when she stabs it in the eye and kills it. We see an epic act by Jorah Mormont’s cousin and head of their house, Lyanna Mormont, as she faces a zombie giant. At some later point down in The Crypts ancient Stark zombies start crawling out of the graves. Everyone above ground is fighting for their lives and it seems losing. We got the clear sense as the lights of their swords went out and only a couple of horses (including one with a shaken Jorah Mormont who had gone with them) returned that the wights are unstoppable.ĭespite various defensive and heroic acts by the main characters during various stages of battle both outside and inside Winterfell, the wights overrun it. Things seemed hopeless even early on as the Dothraki zoomed off on horseback with flaming swords (courtesy of Melisandre, who makes a dramatic reappearance) toward the wights and get wiped out. Most of the episode was taken up by intense, almost incomprehensible high-speed battle footage between the living and the wights. Yeah, no possibility for trouble there, right? Leading up to that ending, The White Walkers and their army of zombies (wights) battled many kinds of good guys including most of our favorite characters, while a few other favorites hid in “The Crypts” where past generations of Starks are buried. In the lead up to this middle episode of the final season, it felt like the main conflict would be between the Night King (the leader of The White Walkers who has the power to animate the dead to do his bidding), and Bran Stark.
