2. When The White Walkers Killed Summer
Poor, dear Summer… this one hurts us in a really twisted way, since Summer’s sacrifice seemed to have accomplish absolutely nothing. Maybe it bought Bran like 4 seconds, but it seemed to us like the White Walkers pummelled Summer into pulp with much haste before resuming their death run for Bran.
It was a heavy hit to the heart, seeing Bran’s spirit animal go like that. If only Summer would have known that Hodor would end up buying them several dozens of seconds by holding like hell onto a door, maybe he could have still been alive wandering the snowy desert with his master.
Instead, all we get are dried direwolf guts on the floor of a forgotten cave. Summer’s death brought a haunting fact to mind: that Ghost, Jon Snow’s direwolf, is the only one confirmed to be alive (though there have been rumours that Shaggydog’s head was a ruse, and of course we’re still pulling for Nymeria’s appearance alongside her wolf pack). We tell you, this show was made by sadists. Sadists!
