I can't imagine Olly will screw things up. Surely Jon picked him for a reason.

Great episode. When the army of the dead / White Walkers attacked the camp, it makes you realize how insignificant and stupid all the other storylines are in comparison to the world potentially getting fucked. Seems like everyone else just has no idea.
Can someone gif the slow zoom in on the dead kids? That was creepy.

This is what I keep thinking every time I see him. I already hate him because you know the little shit is going to try to kill Jon or do something equally infuriating.

I kinda want to see that White Walker leader to take on the iron throne, and have the rest of the human armies band together to take him down. Although I don't think he cares very much for a throne 
Valyria is like 5000 miles away. How long does that disease take to kill, because it's gonna be a long time before anyone gets over there. It's like Vancouver to Tokyo.
But the show seems to play fast and loose with distances.

does the unsullied know what is waiting for them on the other side? the last 20 minutes was pretty intense.

yeah if the white walkers can't walk on water, fuck that - I'd stay in Essos and live out my days in peace

What an episode my goodness!
Made me think of the other Swords. What if after the whole Sansa/Bolton thing is over and Briene knows about the white walkers and she takes another oath to protect the realms of men for the Nightswatch with her Valyrian steel sword "Oathkeeper".

Pretty far from the wall, yes, but not super far from where Jorah is at the moment.

Good call forgot about this
This scene just become much more plausible after this episode.
Sorry about quality.

Jon - Longclaw
Brienne - Oathkeeper
Tommen - Widow's Wail
House Tarly (Sworn to House Tyrell) - Heartsbane
House Corbray (Sworn to House Arryn) - Lady Forlorn
Haven't seen or heard much of the last two though. There's also a few that have been lost over the years, whether in a battle or some other method.

Best episode of the season obviously.
Season 2 episode 10 -- When Daenerys enters the house of the undying and sees visions of a burnt out winter stricken Kings Landing, and even see's Drogo again with child.

Chills when all the freshly decade people stood up. No music, no dialogue. The WW just became a very tangible threat.
The S2 finale, I believe.
Sick, thanks. Feel like we need a larger, more comprehensive one though maybe since now it's like, way more relevant info than before. I could've sworn the Baratheons had one. Maybe that's just a book thing I heard about.

isnt Arya's sword made of valyrian steel? the one she hid?
So what do you guys think would be more effective, like 50 dudes with melted down Valyrian steel daggers or like 10 dudes with 10 V. steel swords? What about arrows? I bet you could make a lot of arrows with those swords.
I think so!
So checking this last page, it seems like the consensus has been that this season has been relatively weak up until now? I wasn't sure if my interest in the show was just waning or what. Just seemed like the most interesting dramatic beats kept getting held until the end of every episode. Maybe that's just what TV does today, I don't watch much of it.
In any case, yeah, this episode was awesome. Not just because of the last 20 minutes either - all those dramatic beats I mentioned finally took center stage the entire episode and it was all great.
Only thing that's annoying me right now is Arya. She's... not going the direction I hoped/expected. Maybe her path just isn't as linear as I'd like it to be.

No, just "castle-forged" steel. Basically, because it was made at Winterfell, it's a step up from some peasant weapon.
Poisons Jon Snow for allowing the people who killed his family inside the wall.

Benjen. No, we haven't heard anything yet. His horse returned to Castle Black though.

Now we know White Walkers can have their minds blown
That WW's reaction was amazing

No. If it had been, one of the dozen other people that looked at it or stole it from her would have commented on it.

They're both legit shook.

Man, I bet that dude is part of the WW army, or one of the generals. They probably recruited him because he knows the lay of the lands (south) and how to attack Castle Black.

What if that's the leader dude?
Every time I see a WW with that look, I think they'll hint at it being Benjen. I suppose his fate is something that wont ever come up.
What's masterful about the deaths in GoT is that they let you know that no death is trivial. People have plot armor - but you don't know who, because anyone can die for any reason.
So you get situations like tonight, where Jon Snow, the hero that's been built up for seasons is in his most dangerous situation yet, and it's not a foregone conclusion that he'll make it out.
And that's what keeps the entire fight so incredibly tense and awesome - you could see GoT offing well loved characters for impact, because that's what's already been done.

Great battle scene, if a bit confusing to pick out who was fighting who. But gave our first real look at the scope of the WW army. I was pretty disappointed that the female clan leader got taken out, the actress did a great job, but we all knew as soon as her kids got put on the boat that they were crossing the wall alone. I'm actually surprised the giant made it though.
If they had to leave all the dragonglass behind, how much can they really have left at Castle Black? It's not like Sam brought back a wagon full of the stuff.
Olly seems up to something, encouraged by more of Sam's misguided advice (sometimes a man has to take actions that seem wrong to other people). Last time he listened to Sam, Olly killed my girl Ygritte. He's probably going to try to take out Jon this time, or one of the wildling leaders like Tormund.
Brienne's going to end up with one of the only valyrian steel swords in the north. Bet that will come in handy soon.
