I really liked the episode, even though I'm not a fan of the fighting scenes in general, it just kept me at the edge of my seat the whole time. I actually screamed at the thing when Pyp died. I spected Stannis to show up, because it felt like something that would work for the show, and possibly because I'd been reading about it here in the forums and I'm influentiable (?) But I absolutely can't complain when they for once stayed true to the books, it'll be really good to see the parley with Mance (if they don't screw it up, of course). It is going to be one heavy loaded episode though. I liked Kit's acting this time (don't throw things at me), and Ygritte's stuff, and Sam. More Ghost would have been great, and it did seemed like they killed every black brother there, wtf. I don't understand something, what made people think the LC choosing was happening this season? I can't make any sense of it.
