    Can I just say how much I love this series? Book and TV show?

    Because I do.

    The difference is that the scene in the book happened after the battle while in the show it was during it. That's the only problem I had with it. The 'you know nothing' as her last line...come on you knew that had to happen!

    Yeah, I think that's a fair criticism. Although, and I'll have to watch that scene again to confirm this, aren't they behind some sort of structure while this is happening? I seem to remember there being a building or something similar in between them and the bulk of the fighting.

    It's two people together sharing a still and quiet moment as chaos rages all around them don't you see it's a metaphor for love - and indeed specifically their love? It's the god damn cave. Honestly now!

    That episode had a lot of moments for me. It was very well crafted, and I hear it was the most expensive episode so far.

    The boy killing Ygrette though... Good for him! She murdered his parents in cold blood! Kid's a badass and she got what she deserved!

    Pretty much. Ygritte's death was cliche right down to the camera angles.

    I liked the Sam parts. All the fighting stuff was boring. I'm hoping for good stuff next week.

    The fighting was epic. I thought it was weird that they decided to focus on one thing, especially because this now means they have to cram in several things for the finale, but they'll manage to do it in an hour. The finale is always a little bit longer anyway. The only thing I didn't like about the episode is what other people mentioned -- Jon Snow stopping in the middle of a friggin' battle to hold Ygritte and be very melodramatic. This episode is infinitely more enjoyable when you have surround sound or really good headphones. Give an Emmy to whoever did the sound goddamn.

    Yeah, while I didn't care for this episode (not because it was bad, just not my particular favorite sort of thing regardless of what show/movie it is) the music was AWESOME. I actually noted to Denmark while we were watching it that it sounded completely different from any music in the rest of the series, and I really appreciated that.

    Come on guys the man thought he was about to be killed by the only woman he has ever loved or bedded and then out of the blue she gets shot. He's going to take a minute. Sam held Pyp while he was dying and nobody's bitching about that!

    It is pretty cliche, but I'm with Mister on this one. I'd be more surprised if Jon just walked off to slay more wildlings leaving Ygritte in the dirt.
