Because not every wilding is capable of scaling the way, and Mance's goal is to get everyone through, so he needs to take the tunnel. He sent small bands(Tormund, the Thenns) who are capable of scaling the wall over so they can try to get to the tunnel from the other side.

Jesus... JE-SUS! What an episode.
Everything was done right. Th directing, the sound, the camera angles, the CGI, the sword fights, etc.
Ridiculously impressive. God I fucking love this show.

....yet strangely satisfying. Clean sweep right there. Make Edd Lord Commander.as fuck
And a virgin who's afraid to talk to girls.Sam was so awesome this episode. Goes to show if your name is "Sam" in a fantasy setting you're probably awesome.

Man that got me and my bro so hyped. We were both like OH SHITTTTTT
So many amazing oh shit moments this episode, but the good kind of Oh shit moments.
I'm guessing it was that grandma of thr queen that Joffrey married or one of her sisters. Didn't she say she was bethrothrd to a Targaryen in her youth??
Yeah I thought that was pretty fucking dumb. "Hey, guys, over here. I can get the gate open!!!
I'll just go through by myself then."

Shit that was awesome. I thought they'd just drop oil down the wall and set it on fire.
Yeah, I saw his name pop up and thought it sounded familiar. Not only did he direct the Blackwater ep, but he did Dog Soldiers and The Descent.

The anchor sliding across the wall was cool.
Really sad about Ygrette, I liked her a lot, but knew it was going to happen. There's no way out of that except her and Jon running away together which isn't gonna happen on a show like this.

Mance is only testing their defenses based on what Jon himself told Sam. The massive attack is yet to be started.

I really liked Ygrette. Was sad to see her go, but it was so inevitable. There was no real scenario where Jon and her could hook up again and just be with one another. =/
Too many pretty red heads die in this show. Fuck you GRRM.

One of the most tense battle sequences I've ever seen. What an amazing episode.

lol I had a similar reaction. The moment he said that I had already accepted he was going to die tonight.
Glad he made it, definitely his finest hour.
Oh come on

GREAT television.
Neil Marshall knocked another single-focus episode nine out of the park. Love the setup with the reveal of two attacks from opposite sides. Relatively happy outcome for our heros, thanks G.R.R for not killing all of our friends at the Nightswatch. Fucking loved the anchor wiping out the climbers on the wall. I've never seen that before and it's the kind of tactic that you'd think would be employed more in situations like that.
"I NEED TO SPEAK TO MANCE!" I wish Jon had said that, maybe next time.

Tolkien had nothing to do with this.

This episode was shot pretty well. Loved the camera panning around the yard and the battle choreography. The hammer to the head was kinda goofy tho.
The episode was weak overall because not much of the story moves forward, but I'm ready for the finale. Winter is (finally) coming.

The best show on TV, what else is there to say...
That fight scene with Jon Snow was amazing, you can feel the size of his opponent swing that axe... goosebumps.

Jon's basically gonna have to turn himself in ton get to Mance. He's not gonna fight or splinter cell his way there.
Man there's just way too much to cover in this last ep. I'm sure it'll be great but at the same time I don't expect as much resolution as I'd like after this season.

There were quite a few impressive shots in this episode, and it almost felt like something out of LOTR: The Two Towers at times. There were also a lot of comedic scenes, I felt, as in Olly's face after he killed Ygritte, and the guy who was sent flying by the giant's arrow. I was praying that Ygritte wouldn't say "You know nuffink, Jon Snow"...but then she did, and I couldn't help but roll my eyes. I was expecting it, after all, I guess.
Overall, I couldn't help but be reminded that it's not the action that I enjoy in Game of Thrones, and I was waiting for the setting to change back to King's Landing. There's just something about Castle Black and its associated plot points that fail to captivate me.

The thing I liked was that we got to see the wall, the north, castle black, the outer gate, and where the wildlings are coming from all in relation to each other and the layout of everything. Some nice big wide shots and crane shots to show everything.
I don't want to ask about the books, but it just assume that's fan service. Her catchphrase really caught on for whatever reason, it's probably the most quoted line from the show. It's a sick line though.

It was really fucking good, but I was still more blown away by Blackwater. Probably just because i'm used to seeing this kind of quality from the show now.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Next Episode will be good, but I can see it now on how many people will be disappointed. Just to much going on in the 7 Kingdoms and beyond to tie things up before this season ends.
Nah breh. This is Messandei's world and these other women just living in it.
Man, what a fucking episode.
It's crazy how this episode seemed to go by faster than any of the others consider it takes place entirely in one setting. Never thought it would've been able to hold my attention the entire time, but it definitely did.
Got to give it up to Samwell motherfuckingheadshot Tarly. What a beast.
Also, wasn't really expecting to be hit emotionally when Ygritte died. I'm going to miss her.
On to the finale, where some shit is going to go down.
