Game Of Thrones Season 7: 10 Ups And 3 Downs From 'Beyond The Wall'

1. The Ice Dragon

While a dragon dies, it doesn't stay that way. Ignoring, for now, just where the wights got those massive chains from to pull the beast out of the water, we get the biggest moment of the season.

We've had characters colliding and an epic battle, but so far nothing beats a dragon being reanimated by the Night King. The sight of that one eye turning blue was both awesome and spine-tingling.

It opens up a multitude of questions - is the Night King now the third head of the dragon? Could Bran warg into it? Wouldn't an alive dragon just be able to quite easily kill a wight dragon with fire? Does a wight dragon breathe fire, ice, or nothing at all (being dead and all)? - and is obviously the biggest blow ever dealt to Daenerys, radically shifting the stakes of the Great War.
