Welcome Renegade Nation it’s me Naughty Nicole and it’s time for another Renegade Review. And today, we have one of my favorites and I hope one of yours, Game of Thrones Season 7 premiere. Ah yes, the wait is mercifully over and this was the longest downtime between seasons in history, but the wait is over and we can finally find out what happens to all our favorites. Now if you remember we left on the line Winter is Here…..
You have to hand it to Game of Thrones. If we were taking Super Bowl-style prop bets Walder Frey wouldn’t have had snowball-in-hell odds of being the first character seen in the first shot. The former Lord of Riverrun is, after all, quite dead. Yet, there he was. In a prologue sequence, Walder Frey appears in a Red Wedding-style setting and cheers his family on. As Walder stands at the head of his family it becomes increasingly clear he's not Walder Frey at all. He says he's gathered "every Frey who means a damn thing" so he can reveal his plans for the coming winter. He gives everyone "proper wine, for proper heroes" and they toast together and cheer. But then old Walder starts talking about the Red Wedding.
He calls everyone "brave men" for, now get this... "butchering a woman pregnant with a baby" and for cutting the throat of a "mother of five." The room goes deathly silent. Then, people start dropping. "You didn't slaughter every one of the Starks. That was your mistake." Frey continues. "Leave one wolf alive, and the sheep are never safe." One by one, every Frey who means a damn thing drops dead right there — poisoned by that proper wine. Bodies lie motionless everywhere. Arya Stark peels off her Walder mask and tells Frey's child bride, "When people ask you what happened here, tell them: 'The North remembers.' Tell them: 'Winter came for House Frey.'" And Winter has come… all over house Frey’s pinched little faces.
Now, THAT is how you start a friggin' season off!
