![]() ![]() Benjen first returned to the action in season six, saving Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead-Wright) from certain death at the hands of the dead. Whether it was Tormund ( Kristofer Hivju) and the Brotherhood taking turns mocking the well-intentioned but somewhat dim-witted Gendry (Joe Dempsie), or Tormund and the Hound (Rory McCann) taking a moment to talk about the liver-hungry Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie), “Beyond the Wall” was loaded with joyful moments between this glorious group of strangers - before one of them met the Stranger, that is.Īnother main character casualty: Benjen Stark (Joseph Mawle), Jon’s undead uncle who went missing back in season one, when he disappeared during a range north of the Wall. In happier news (happier before all the sadness commenced, anyway), it was an absolute delight to watch Jon Snow (Kit Harington) and the Eastwatch Elite interact with one another. Why is Thrones so adamant about driving a wedge between the Stark sisters? Is it as simple as the fact that for Arya Stark, there’s no such place as home anymore - that she truly has become No One, even if she doesn’t want to admit it? Is it possible that Sansa is really as power-hungry as Arya suggests? It’s not a great look for either Stark sister, nor is it a great look for Thrones, as the show continues spinning its wheels in Winterfell even with the end game so firmly in sight. Arya confronted Sansa about her role in getting their father killed back in season one, and later threatened to remove Sansa’s face and wear it around as her own. In Winterfell, Sansa (Sophie Turner) and Arya (Maisie Williams) brought their simmering feud dangerously close to a full-on boil. Let’s begin with the worst news, at least as far as it pertains to disappointing plot developments. 'Game of Thrones': How the Deadly "Beyond the Wall" Sets Up the Season 7 Finale
