9.5/10 if I could :bowdown: I'm a sucker for the Wall and this episode really did it for me. Thorne was great, Jon's dueling down the stairs was perfect and intense. Ghost was a total boss as usual. As great as Blackwater was (it was GREAT), I felt the impact of this battle so much more by the end of the episode. They could have shaved off a few minutes in the beginning with the Sam/Jon conversation but I did like how they eased the viewers into the conflict. I love Sam/Gilly but that also took up just a little too much time (the kiss though! Mack Daddy Sam). So not perfect editing but it was pretty much Also, Jon may be no poet but that scene of him holding Ygritte as she died with the flames in the background couldn't have been more poetic. Beautiful shot that will stay with me.
