- i feel like (and this is not a criticism) that they didn't truly encapsulate how large an army it is that's against them. Like they didn't really capture how big the wall was and how crucial it was to fight against all that. I still loved this episode and thought it was a great way to showcase a locale that for the most part is seen as unimportant.

- Great defenses, and great usage of the some things that we've never seen before. There's a reason why that wall has stood for so many years.

- Everyone knew Ygritte was going down, but I'll miss Rose. I think she did a great job of breathing life into her character. The Fire Crotch will be missed.

- Loved the Giants. Great detail, they looked like they stank though.

- I wish they could truly explain why Janos Slynt is such a bitch.

- Still a great episode though.
