This was but a poor imitation of your bravery on the field of battle. I speak as a first-hand witness. Climb down from the high table with your new valyrian sword and show everyone how a true king wins his throne. Be careful though, this one is clearly mad with lust.

I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come." (Grenn and others before the giant strike)

Jon's my favorite character so its a pretty easy call for me. I love the way Gilly asks Sam not to die... and Aemon's 'the past is never a sweeter place to visit than when facing certain death'/ Sam's face while hes saying it are amazing.

edit- Winter is Coming is probably second.. I didn't know anything about ASOIAF before I watched it so I was instantly hooked after Jaime pushed Bran out the window.

[Mr Fixit]

It's interesting to see that so many people dislike North Remembers. For me, that's actually one of the better episodes, a beautiful reintroduction to the world of GoT after the shitstorm at the end of the previous season. It was a bit slow and plot-light, but it had atmosphere in spades, not to mention fantastic direction by Alan Taylor. Every time I re-watch the episode, I'm fascinated by how right and smooth it feels.

[Frey Pies]

^ I loved it too! The comet really makes the episode seem unique to me.

Every good show has episodes like this - seemingly non-eventful outings where nothing much happens in either plot or character departments, and often overlooked by fans. Big moments are what people remember, not quiet episodes like this one. Yet, North Remembers is chock-full of great scenes that are well written and beautifully shot - just look at the camerawork and lighting, not to mention magnificent vistas we're treated to whenever we jump to a new location... It's one of the most moody and atmospheric episodes of the show so far. Tyrion's arrival in KL - notice how the Sun hangs low on the horizon, Dany lost in the Red Waste, tired brothers of the Night's Watch reaching the grey and inhospitable Craster's Keep, Stannis' beach party (visually still one of the best scenes I've seen on GoT), the dark, muddy, and damp Robb's camp (it rhymes! Yay!) including fantastic scenes with Jaime and Alton. And yeah, that comet following us every step of the way.

Man, I love me some North Remembers. Writing all this down, I really think it's actually one of the best episodes of GoT.

Yup I agree (definitely top 20 for me).

There is one extremely, extremely minor thing that I always get bummed about in regards to this episode (and it doesn't have much to do with episode at all), which is the title. I wish they had saved that for the episode with Wyman Manderly's speech. It would have been so much more poignant (especially since the RW has occurred) and relevant.

BTW, I'm loving all the love for The Watchers on the Wall here. It's truly awesome :)

I thought about including that very point in my previous post! Yeah, it has such a huge symbolic power in the fandom. It would be the perfect title to a particularly badass episode down the line, perhaps in Season 5.

Similar opinions on the episode, the title, Michelle McLaren- damn, you're probably the first person on this board who I've agreed with to this extent :)

Top 3 of this series:

1. Watchers on the Wall - this took me back to the excitement I felt watching Helm's Deep for the first time. One of my all-time favorite GoT episodes now.

2. The Mountain and the Viper - the build-up and the pay-off was amazing for me. I didn't even mind the beetle story.

3. The Children - I think they just hit on so many high notes throughout this episode that it doesn't give you time to catch your breath before something else unexpected happens.

You put North Remembers in your TOP 20, I think it belongs in TOP 10! I'm so very disappointed! :crying: ^_^

[Arkash]

Edited my top to add the North Remembers. I had forgotten how much of an amazing episode it was until I read your post on it !

I sorry :bawl: :crying:

It would have been top 10 were it not for the plethora of awesome episodes season 4 gave me.
