When it almost seemed like the fourth episode, "The Spoils of War," in which Daenerys vanquishes the Lannister army with Drogon, might be season seven's best, the penultimate episode tops it. In "Beyond the Wall," Daenerys's hand is forced again when Jon and his gang are ambushed by hundreds of wights and White Walkers, and she flies in two dragons to save them. The insanity of Viserion and Drogon breathing deadly fire over the enemy is replicated, but this time, there's a stunning, tragic death: Viserion, who is shot down by the Night King. Oh, and then the Night King casually pulls him from icy water and turns him into an ice dragon. It's simply the gnarliest thing that's ever happened on this show, is all.
And then there's this: Jon and Daenerys hold hands and make obvious, in-love goo-goo eyes at each other, because they're endgame.
