Our hearts are heavy this week for many reasons. First and foremost, because the writers seem to have mailed it in towards the end. We chat about that. Secondly, because it's apparently so goodamn expensive to CGI a direwolf that Jon couldn't even give Ghost a goodbye boop. We chat about that too, Thirdly, Rhaegal gets sniped from way downtown by heat-seeking crossbow bolts, in a clear attempt to even up the stakes of the final battle. We chat a good bit about that. And last, but absolutely not least, our hearts are heavy because we've lost the light of our (or at least my) life, the gentlest and most lovely person in this whole besotted tapestry, the greatest translator in Naath's history... Missandei. We don't chat about that too much. Rest in Power, sweet queen.
