That's all you're going to get for the battle at The Wall this season for sure. I thought it was well done, but they did change it up quite a bit.

I don't consider this a spoiler, but there is more to come. The battle at The Wall is far from over. I imagine they will get back to it within the first two episodes next season.

There really is a lot more to that whole battle if you can recall from the books. However it's very possible that they change the story up and cut it short, but I can't imagine they cut out one of the most major parts in the whole story.

I'm pretty sure you and I are thinking about the same thing. I was really hoping to see it last night and thought for sure it was coming. A few characters I've become quite bored of, will become a lot more interesting. You're right, it definitely won't happen in the finale. I wouldn't want it to because it would be too rushed, and I'm pretty sure we can expect a few other twists involving other sets of characters. It will probably happen early next season.

I'm gonna watch the episode again, but I honestly don't understand the hate episode 9 is getting. I thought it was fucking great for a TV series.

There was a giant who shot an arrow the size of a fucking horse through a human causing him to fly through the friggin' air and land impaled in the ground. There was a fucking scythe built into the wall that completely destroyed the wildling climbers.

And that long panning shot of the battle was fucking awesome.

That episode is getting hate? Just had a chance to watch it and it was spectacular. Pretty awesome battle with a lot of cool emotional stuff (Tarly and the Meister's conversation about love and duty, Egrid's tragic death, John Snow becoming the leader we knew he could be) rolled into it as well.

I thought it was phenomenal. This whole season has been stellar.

This series is almost spoiling television for me. The directing, the writing, the budget, wardrobe, everything about this show is borderline flawless. I've read several things saying this past episode has to make movie makers nervous because it was so epic and well done. It was a monumental episode for what television is capable of.

Overall I think the show is good, nothing great and I thought the episode was really good and entertaining. The second half of the season has been really solid.

agreed ... people were probably looking for the type of singular mindfuck moment that occurred the in the oberyn v mountain episode

I almost shit myself with joy when I saw the giant let loose that arrow and completely wrecked that dude. That was fucking awesome. I'm trying to find a good gif of it.

well this episode did get potentially hyped up on this board and on twitter as going to be more epic than the Battle of Blackwater Bay, I was looking for that. no singular moment that blew me away, I just felt this battle was was more underwhelming, it was still good just more meh compared to some others I have seen. I wouldnt call it a monumental episode compared to the Blackwater Bay episode.

I do agree this show hurts other shows especially The Walking Dead for me, although I wont ever stop watching it unless it really goes off the rails its going to need to step it up this season 5 to compare to the excellence of GOT

Just some red stains left.

Just some red stains left.

I read that as "Just read Stannis left". I feld oddly indifferent toward that news.

IMO this was better than the Blackwater Bay episode.
