And please, Dark Souls fans. Tell me that when the Giant shot that arrow, I wasn't the only one thinking:


This is exactly what I was thinking. It was a great episode & I can't wait for season finale next sunday!

Ygritte should have died at the end of season 3, her death would have had more impact then, instead of dragging out her story for 9 episodes where she barely had any appearances.

She had to die at the battle of Castle Black(it's actually Jon who kills her in the book cause she's running around hooded and he's shooting arrows and doesn't realize until he checks on her).

That and he is shooting from the top of the wall and can't really make out individuals. The battle of castle black went down right after the red wedding, so this could have easily been the season 3 finale, considering how nothing happened in the season 3 finale because they pushed this battle back.

They are still under the impression the Watch has 10x the men they actually do. Plus Castle Black's reputation precedes it, and keep in mind that even if they do have 100,000 Men, they all get to funnel down into the tunnel through the wall. That can take maybe five people shoulder to shoulder, which means your numbers are little more than an attrition factor at that point. The Watch can stand at the mouth of the gate with superior numbers and kill invaders by the hundreds.

I get what you're thinking, but in terms of siege warfare, Mance Rayder is actually making the tactically sound call with the intelligence he has.

read the book its NOT him who does it, cause its not his fletching on the arrow that killed her.

I would focus more on the fact that Pyp and Grenn were taken off, they shouldn't have died.

the television show is much better than the books

people need to not be so desperate to have something to be smug about that they decide to lord a dumb dragon book over somebody else

Cause many things aren't canon, and if you care about a story it's the original one that matters.

Mind you, many discrepancies are fine and really unimportant(despite what the most hardcord fanboys/girls say), but some are pretty major, like Robb's wife completely *** up the lore in the show.

why would i care about the canonity of dumb dragon books

i cannot think of one editorial change that hasn't either made sense or at least been reasonable

jeyne westerling is a non-entity, whereas talisa actually contributes to world-building

Calling it dumb won't bring any validity to your point, if you don't like it then this just isn't the thread for you.

Only bad part is that now I gotta wait till next April for the new season. Guess it's time to suck it up and read the books. All in all, a very good episode. I got a little teary when Danearys chained up her dragons though :(

The most fatal mistake of your argument is not recognizing that Television and Literature are different formats of media with different strengths and weakness.

Overall thoughts on the whole episode spoiler'd. I probably need a day or two to digest more, but in typical Game of Thrones fashion, they manage to make an EP10 that doesn't leave too much hanging/provide ample closure while also making you count the days 'til April. Nothing particularly shocking in the, except maybe a brawl between two of my favorite characters.
