The prelude to the bear’s attack is wonderful the landscape is suddenly obscured by snow and fog, highlighting the ridiculously perilous situation they’ve walked into. The first sign of trouble comes in the form of the most unexpected polar bear since Lost. Daenerys shares this recklessness, as we’ll come to see. Jon Snow appears to be almost indifferent to his own survival, unless he’s on the battlefield, in which case he’s seemingly indestructible. If he’d been a different man he might have harbored bitter resentment toward Jon, or at the very least, keep the priceless sword. Luckily, Jorah’s a pretty reasonable guy (apart from that whole slave-trading thing), so he simply hands it back.

Jon knows full well that this blade is an invaluable weapon in his war against the White Walkers, but it doesn't matter, it’s “rightfully” Jorah’s. This is a bit of a punch in the gut for Jorah, no? Probably the sort of thing you should keep to yourself, but Jon brings it up immediately. Jon also happens to be in possession of Jorah’s family sword, Longclaw, given to him by Jeor, who even changed the handle of the precious family heirloom from a Mormont bear to a Stark wolf. Jeor, deceased captain of the Night's Watch, inspired much of Jon’s devotion to protecting the realm, but serves as nothing but a painful memory for disgraced Jorah. Jon speaks with Jorah during the long walk through the snow, and the two bond over their shared connection to Jeor Mormont, Jorah’s father. But why send the King in the North? Isn't he too valuable to send on a suicide mission? And shouldn’t he send a raven to Sansa once in awhile? Sure, send some guys down to steal one if it’s that important. This is a lot of effort to kidnap a zombie, but whatever. It wasn’t his plan, admittedly, but Jon chose to lead the expedition.
The character was basically a glorified 1-Up mushroom, and his ensuing death only serves as a reminder that Beric’s next brush with death will be his last.īut before we talk about the battle, let’s talk about how annoying and illogical Jon Snow is.įirst off, this entire plan was pretty stupid. We learn that the key to Thoros of Myr’s bravery lies at the bottom of a bottle, and that’s all we’re ever going to know about the man, really. Poor old Jon seemed like he needed a pick me up, and Beric is the only other man who knows what it’s like to die, come back, and continue to fight against a seemingly impossible cause. Or in Jon and Beric’s case, not that invincible. Jon is seemingly feeling down, but is inspired by the words of Beric to keep fighting death, the invincible enemy.
