Besides, the Night's Watch stuff is mostly dull anyways. Every once in a while it gets interesting.

The King's Landing stuff is generally the best stuff, followed by the stuff that happens in the Riverlands and the Vale. Winterfell is ok as well whenever someone is in it. Also Dorne is pretty cool... and the Reach - Hell, everything Winterfell and below is interesting (FTR, the torture of Theon was only alluded to in the books and not shown over and over until it got super boring as in the show... and besides, I think the Dreadfort is slightly north of Winterfell, so it'd fit my map).

Agreed. Everything north of Winterfell has been my least favorite part so far.

Ollie the elevator boy kept his head in the game. Jon Snow could learn something from him.

That was fantastic. That crane shot in the castle courtyard around 40 minutes in? Holy ****ing ****.

That is EXACTLY how my wife described it. "That was metal as ****."

They already condensed the two attacks on the wall into one attack; they might as well have thrown that in as well especially given how ****ing packed next Sunday's episode will be.

[Dinner]

An action packed episode and I'm sure next week's will be too.

I thought the whole thing was boring. In fact this whole season is pretty disappointing.

[Dinner]

What exactly was boring and how would you have improved it?

The last episode will be extra long; most have been just over 50 minutes, this one is gonna be 66.

So I guess this means...

Unusual to have an entire episode dedicated to one locale, but it was great.

Spoiler:

Now Jon's got to be lonely while his fat friend is gonna be rolling in the hay.

I don't know if anyone was counting, but leading up to the episode they kept saying that there were no more than 100 men in castle black.
It seems that at least that many were showed killed during the episode.
There can't be that many left.

Start counting.
7 in the tunnel.
At least a half dozen on the wall to the giant's arrow and the barrel exploding.
Ygritte took out at least 10
Tormund takes out at least a dozen just walking around.
Styr does about the same.
That tall crane shot showed at least another 10 go down (great shot)
And these are just the obvious ones.

While I loved the episode it just didn't seem to add up.
