How he goes out: Dolorous Edd has been a member of the Night's Watch since the beginning of the series, which made it especially emotional to see him die protecting Samwell Tarly out on the battlefield early on in the episode. (Real talk: Sam should never have been out there, and it's essentially his fault Edd dies.) He takes a sword through chest thanks to a wight who attacks from behind. RIP, Edd.
