Oberoth

9/10. Best episode of season 4 imo. I liked the toasts to Grenn, Ygritte and Mag. Jon and Mel starting at each other was slightly spine tingling. Stannis' entry was a bit underwhelming, but given that they can't show a sea of tents and wilding army of 100k its understandable. Jon and Mel starting at each other was slightly spine tingling. Three-eyed raven was different than I'd expected, he reminded me of saruman rather than brynden. Arya meeting Brienne/brienne fighting the hound was interesting. Tyrions scene was my favorite of the episode, Vary's realizing what tyrion had done and getting on the ship was great. I particularly like Arya leaving the hound to die, denying him mercy like Myca. Daenerys showed emotion! Better than most of the episodes this season. He probably landed at East-Watch, so he could get north. The three occupied castles were The shadowtower in the west, castle black and east-watch by the sea. Dragonstone is off the east coast of the crownlands, so he would have sailed north and landed at the wall then rode west. (I guess) The only lead up she had in the books was catelyns corpse being found by nymeria, and we haven't seen anything of nymeria or arya's wolf dreams in the show.

For the battle of castle black/ thewall it was very rushed. It was pretty much a giant firing three arrows and mag lifting the gate. Although it is just a 700ft wall of ice, so there isn't much to do if you have swords or axes. I suppose thats why they combined the assault on castle black with the battle for the wall. Pip & Grenn died. Sam heavy episode. Meh it was good apart from the last two.
