Now that was fucking epic!! Stunning. White walkers! That's the end game. And with all the talk of Dany returning to Westeros - she can't come soon enough.

And a great episode overall. Goes to show that you don't need a full episode devoured to a particular battle. The direction was stellar and puts the overrated Marshall to shame.

A Song of Ice and Fire is the title of the book series after all.

Brilliant.

Amazing Episode, you would think they would leave something like this for episode 9, now i have to wonder wtf will happen in the next episode, usually episode 9 is the episode of the season but i doubt it will top this.

Wow.

I finally watched Sunday's episode and it was Amazing! I loved it all. There was so much to like but the last 15 minutes was just superb. These are the type of zombies/ghosts whatever you want to call it that should have been in ROTK not those unkillable green phantoms. Anyway, that fight between Snow and that head walker was awesome too. I was just on the end of my seat as he was trying to scramble for that dragon glass. Then when that sword hit and that walker's expression I just about jumped off my couch! Ahhh. God damn I can't wait for next week.

As for other things in the episode, I'm actually semi slightly feeling bad for Cersei. Slurping water off a dirty stone floor is low. Her son is no King. I won't be surprised if he gets poisoned before the end of this season now. I enjoyed seeing Tyrion use his superb communication skills to once again talk himself out of being executed. I liked the little bit we got with Arya and Stansa. Brianne gonna be coming around that mountain before the season's end there too.

Once last bit, for anyone who has played WOW was anyone kind of expecting to see a Frost dragon just come swooping down from all that snowy mist?

I agree with Flava...




But yeah - I think an extra 2 episodes this season would have been perfect.

I dare say that the last twenty minutes might have been the biggest and most action-packed twenty minutes ever on television, certainly as far as special effects go. It's insane how that looked. Maybe I was awe-struck from the whole sequence to notice if it looked cheap but I didn't notice it on my first viewing. I defy anyone to find any twenty minute action sequence that looks better on TV, ever. That was it.

Not to mention the scenes between, easily, the two most significant characters of the show. Any non-fans familiar with the show would at least know of either Tyrion or Dany or both.

*cough*theflash*cough*

Chip go the fuck away. This was on par with any action movie this year.

I do remember some scenes from Band of Brothers and the Pacific that were up there. Of course they also were highly budgeted.

But yeah that Hardhome scene is up there as the best action sequence from any film and tv behind Mad Max but above the church fight scene in Kingsmen

Next episode is called a dance with dragons, maybe

Yes I think so too.

Put that in spoilers Rev!!

Why does Benioff and Weiss hate Stannis so much? Hes getting shafted again and making him unlikable

Yeah I was kinda liking Stannis this season, but not so much after this episode. And not just because he sacrificed his daughter (even though that's more than enough). His entire character took a huge hit this episode and he's really no different than most others seeking the throne or other positions of power now in the show.

I guess this makes his character and storyline more interesting going forward? Bleh.

But more importantly, DANY RIDING DROGON!

the last 15 minutes was the best part. I loved seeing Dany riding Drogon. It was a great moment, one of the best moments of the show. As for Stannis, I can understand why desperation leads to doing things that you don't want to do. However, it seems like she has the same fate in the book if you watch the commentary. They seem to suggest Martin told them about this scene. I am guessing it happens in Winds of Winter not sure why but I can probably guess.

What, Dany flying off? That was in A Dance with Dragons.

Hes talking about Shiress being sacrificed. I didn't know that part was going to be in Wind of Winters

I was talking about the burning of Shireen.
