Perhaps if this plot had been allowed to simmer for a few more episodes-or if Arya had witnessed the early tension between Sansa and Jon in ruling Winterfell-this vendetta would be more easy to buy. There is something interesting about Arya being unable to shake off her rage at the world even back home, but this letter business just stretches credulity.
#GAME OF THRONES BEYOND THE WALL FLAMING SWORD TRIAL#
Sansa is right: Arya should be on her knees thanking her sister for having been able to just stroll into Winterfell while Sansa had to survive a trial by Ramsay for two seasons. So, for Arya to acknowledge this and still be ready to go to war over it is just bizarre. Honestly: what is Arya’s damage? When Sansa’s letter first arrived in Winterfell back in Season 1, even slow-witted Robb (don’t me: you know I’m right) knew that its content had been coerced out of her. For all of Iain Glen’s polish and Jorah’s chivalry, Mormont has a history of shade-throwing. That couldn’t have waited until you were on the boat back to Dragonstone, you drama queen?Īnd is it me or did Jon get Jorah’s implicit consent to mate with Dany and pass the sword on to their offspring there? Or, was that in fact an implicit nudge for Jon to sow his oats elsewhere since Jorah presumably knows that Dany cannot have any more children? It’s honestly hard to tell. Leave it up to good old goober Jon to consider a risky mission to the land of ice zombies the correct setting to unbuckle his sword and offer it to Jorah because, honor. I have no doubt other fans are going to be equally thrilled.Still, I don’t quite know what makes him the best foot messenger when things go predictably wrong considering that unlike Tormund and Jon, he doesn’t know the terrain and has never even been north of the wall, but I guess he’s the lightest physical specimen of the bunch? Maybe hammer swinging for four years only builds lean muscle.īetween scandalizing Gendry with innuendo about how men keep warm north of the wall and his endless amusement at teasing the Hound with his gingerdom, I think it’s safe to say we would all gladly live in a world where Tormund makes sweet love to Brienne, Gendry and The Hound while a bunch of bears watch.
As a fan of the show, I know the standards they demand, and working with both of these platforms has enabled us to create an unparalleled fan experience. “We were part of their first foray into VR five years ago with ‘Ascend the Wall,’ and we’ve now worked with them on their first collaboration with Magic Leap. “Our partnership with HBO and Game of Thrones to utilize cutting-edge technology has been a truly remarkable one for Framestore,” said Christine Cattano, Global Head of VR & Executive Producer at Framestore. 4D elements amplify the gamer’s journey, including a motion floor alongside heat, cold and wind effects. Using the HTC Vive, Unreal Engine, and the latest GPU tech from NVIDIA, players are transported to a realistic scene north of The Wall and forced to defend themselves from the undead - with no dragons to help.
Building on two previous VR experiences created for the hit series, “Beyond the Wall” allows fans to test their flaming sword-fighting skills against a massive wight bear and a hoard of White Walkers. Working closely with HBO from concept through to execution, Framestore conceptualized, designed and developed both the digital content and physical components for each experience.
