How could I go without mentioning how Sam Tarly's character really shined brighter than everybody else in this episode?

OPEN THE FUCKING GATE! You really see how far Sam has gotten when he is not the one about to shit his pants. Instead he has to instill courage in others. His line to Jon Snow "you can't protect me forever" is also immensely strong and satisfying. Just awesome.

The commander who hid should be the one to hold the title of "coward" from now on.


About Ygritte... Will admit that I liked how tough she is but in my eyes she always carried an aura of manipulation and deceitfulness that I just wanted to slap gone. Like a wildling version of Cersei. Perhaps I would have liked her better in the books.

Not sure were you got the deceitfulness part in particular since she was always straightforward and honest with Jon and he albeit justifiably was not. If you didn't like her expanded, more sympathetic, Rose Leslie portrayed tv series version I doubt you'll like her less sympathetic, minor role book counterpart.

I've always found book Ygritte to be rather meh. She had some cute and funny moments with Jon but that's about it, except for her last conversation with Jon before she dies which I liked better in the books than in the tv series.

This is going to be a little off topic, but Game of Thrones related to be sure.

Why is Sam still so fat? I know his backstory is that he was the son of a noble, and sucked at all things physical. So I get why he showed up fat. I am not sure how long he has been at the wall, as the books and the show have rather different timelines. Seems like he has been there a long while, and one would assume that the men manning the wall have a diet of much less rich food than a noble would, and Sam would likely be doing more physical labor. Sure he could be just inclined toward being heavy, but shouldn't he of lost some weight just being there?

 

[Cthulhu]

Genetics~. I don't recall if there was much mention made of his weight in the books later on in the series, but yeah, pretty sure he kept being chubby. I'm guessing it's a character thing, fit Sam just wouldn't be the same. He could actually grow, gasp, confident

Are you referring to Ygritte? Because her tv series version is not unpopular. She's definitely one of my top 10 favorite characters in the show.

 

[Cat Rage Room]

I have a newfound grudging respect for Ser Alliser. Okay so he's a total turd that treats Jon Snow like shit on his off time but god damn is he a capable commander. Goes to show that all bets are off when you're fighting to the death.

yes I am and NO I AM ALONE ONLY ME

more seriously, I really loved their dynamic in the show, which is where I started, and loved it as much, if not more, in the books, though I wish that windmill scene had been in the books, much like I wish Shireen teaching Davos to read had been

because that shit was so fucking gangsta GODDAMN

Spoiler: Book spoilers

Do you think that even with her role as the plot reaper she had to die? Or that taking in consideration the events and ending of ADWD it would've been more interesting if she was alive?

Ygritte. I dunno I don't dislike her but I was even happy when the kid killed her, it's justice. My brother cried tho.

[Ghost X]

Was it this season that was predicted to be pretty boring? Why do I get the feeling it is super exciting.

 

[Ⓐaron]

I don't know why anyone familiar with A Storm of Swords would have expected this season to be boring. So much epic shit goes down at the end of that book.

If the series operated in a black and white morality it would be justice but it's not.

Spoiler

Justice would've been if Ollie had killed Styr, the guy who killed his mother, put a dagger on his throat, made him open his eyes so he could watch his village get slaughtered and told him he was going to eat his parents. Also it would have been helpful to Jon since that's when he was actually in danger and his bro nod afterwards wouldn't have been out of place.

I don't see why it's not justice just because something worse happened to you. It's like saying

Spoiler

Sansa bringing down Littlefinger in the future is not justice because it's the Freys, Lannisters and Boltons that killed the majority of her family.

Like I said, I don't dislike Ygritte, but I think she deserved her death. I felt sad that they really loved each other, but otherwise I have no attachment to her.

 

[Carlie]

Littlefinger is a terrible person who has done very despicable things simply because he wants to, the same cannot be said for a lot of other characters in the series. Also not relevant but

Spoiler

Sansa's storyline is turning into an off the rails mess.

Spoiler

Did she though? She definitely took a darker and less sympathetic turn after Jon left but what exactly were her options other than to stay on with her group?

Yeah, season 4 is the last quarter of ASOS. There's big event after big event.

Spoiler: Season 4 spoilers

Joffrey dies in episode 2 and that's not even the biggest moment of the season.
