How She Died

Trust the most unexpectedly badass character in all of the recent Game Of Thrones seasons to be given the most epic kill AND death of the season so far.

We knew that Lyanna Mormont's card was marked last episode when she refused to hide in the Crypt and said she'd never run away from battle. Admirable, yes, but foolhardy and her reward for that was a punch to the head by a giant wight.

Even that wasn't enough to take her down, as she dusted herself off, screamed defiantly and ran at the giant. Who was this giant to defy her, after all? It then crushed her and attempted to eat her before she jammed her dragonglass weapon into its eye and they both fell to the floor dead. Epic.

What It Means

That House Mormont is no more, for a start but also that Lady Mormont deserves a statue in place of The Wall as a permanent monument to her glory.
