I think a few scenes with Mance Rayder would of gone a long way to increasing the interest level of the audience in this story line
That one hammerhead villain was pretty cool. Very intimidating. I liked him a lot actually. Bolton/Snow guy also grew on me. The Mountain? Total villain failure, never felt like the big deal he should have been.
More Ygritte! I think the Ygritte/Jon Snow love story has grown stale. It's been a while since we'd seen them together at all. Her scenes this season had barely featured any dialogue at all. I would have liked her fleshed out more before the death scene.
Yep, he was the most interesting character in the Wildlings. Honestly don't care at all for the Mance Rayder character. Seems like an old frumpy guy. Hard to imagine a bunch of violent guys like the Hammerhead falling in line behind him.
Just wanted to say thank you to all the posters who provide additional information for us non-readers. I will rep you guys today.
When he dropped the f bomb to open the gate, it gave me chills. Nice to see some assertiveness from him for a change.
I would also like my bbs posts to be adapted as full feature movies so they can get the treatment they deserve.
I'm not really an expert in killing people, but as I understand it, if was not uncommon in a knife fight for one person to kill the other and then bleed out. I assume the giant killed all the Night's Watch, and then died of the "thousand pin pricks" they inflicted on him.
Yeah, that Darthraki (don't know the spelling or care) guy died of like a papercut over the course of a few days.
after the viper and the mountain, this episode just seemed like a white bronco being chased by cops. I was screaming to get me back to the game i.e lannisport. It doesn't mean i didn't enjoy it either.
They seemed to be from a smaller group and Mance has the numbers , perfectly believable that they'd follow along .
no way this was a "filler episode". this was a full scale assault on the Wall and the Night's Watch were charged with keeping their fortress secure like they had for hundreds if not thousands of years. all they had to do was defend the wall, hold the gate, and fend off a band of wildlings from surprise attack. no big deal. we saw the primitive systems which they relied upon when indeed the wall was "at war", and those defenses were freaking amazing! the battle started from the 24 minute mark in the episode and didn't let up. I don't know how you can't be pulling for Sam and his storyline.
True, I'm certainly pulling for him...HOWEVER his storyline is so far down my list of storylines that I care about. Even though there haven't been many Sam/Gilly scenes this season, they were too many for my liking.
I'm hoping that there will not be a Sam/Gilley sex scene! Damn I'm nauseous just thinking about it.... Sam asking Jon to talk about his experience with Ygrette was about all I could take.
Oh yeah I completely forgot about that! Funny/awkward way to start the episode. HBO knows what its audience wants...and it's not a Sam sex scene.
The trailer for the next episode seems kind of interesting. From the looks of it Cersei was kissing her father Tywin. At least that's what the silhouette looked like. More manipulation to come?
