So this will be spoilers for anyone who hasn't watched this episode before.

These are my reactions throughout the entire episode...

Did you feel any of these emotions? Give me a shoutout!

Now before I get into the winter olympics part, who here flipped at the Polar Bear scene?! Those flame swords were so awesome.

What I don't understand is how Jon Snow's group mostly survived the cold. It makes sense that a few would live but a good majority of them lived another day. How long did it take Gendry to sprint across mountainous snow to get back to the wall only for a message to be written and sent by a raven to fly all the way to Dragonstone? On top of Dany receiving, reading and deciding on what to do. Then she has to walk all the way down to the dragons on a path that seems as long as "snake way" (Dragon Ball Z), all the while debating with Tyrion. Afterwards she gets on Drogon and they have to sonic boom their way to the exact coordinates of Jon Snow and friends. I loved it all, but it just seemed to be a bit of a stretch...Anyone else get the same feeling? Jon Snow and his group barely huddled up next to each for warmth. This is basic survival skills. Unless they all had Canada Goose to wear or cats to cuddle with, it just doesn't seem likely to me.

Now I'm a big fan of the dragons and when Drogon got shot in the shoulder my heart sank. It was such a cringing moment that I didn't wanna think about anything worse that could happen. Well it did. The Winter Olympics Javelin Dragonglass medalist (Night King), shot down Viserion like Super Nintendo's Duck Hunt game in the '90s. Except it was awful. That whole scene killed a part of me when the eyes were all close up and it looked just like Akari's eyes...(I was holding Akari the whole time)

Moving on...I am pretty much ready for Little Finger to lose his job security. He's surrounded by Stark children who more or less knows about Little Finger's bad deeds. Something to look forward to next episode?

So here comes the results for the winners of the Winter Olympics of Westeros from this episode:

Benjen - Hammer Throw [Bronze]

The Hound - Shot Put [Gold]

Team Dany - Relay Race [Gold]

Jon Snow (Special Olympics) - Auto Pilot Horse Riding [Gold]

Night King - Javelin Throw [Dragonglass]

Overall great action packed episode.

Why did Benjen get the bronze? Despite coming in strong to save Jon, he died in the end...Unfortunately gotta give him a bronze for that.

Gendry started off on foot a little rocky as he passed out, but luckily made it pretty much there. Next was the fastest raven to pass the message onto Dany. Finally Dany took off down the hill from her fortress and set off splinting for the golden rescue with the dragons. A strong team effort that deserves a gold for Team Dany.

The Hound is pretty obvious for the gold. That aim hit the wight spot on (way to disrupt the bee hive).

Now I gave Jon Snow and Night King their respective rankings for their very different levels of talent. Jon Snow hanging onto the horse while passed out is no easy feat! And as much as I hate it...that javelin throw with the ice spear did indeed hit his target.... So as it is unlikely for that to possibly happen, I thought a dragonglass medal would be more fitting as it is rarer than gold.

Hope you enjoyed this article! Did I leave anybody out in this episode for an Olympic nomination? Do you agree or disagree? Leave it in the comments!
