The Watchers on the Wall

The anticipation for this battle has been a long time coming, and it didn't let me down at all. Features a very intense battle , with amazing fight scenes. I enjoyed this personally more than any of the other battle scenes. A couple of great dialogue scenes as the calm before the storm, before the battle begins.

With how this show has been about not being shy about killing off anyone, it really makes it so intense in that you feel any and all the characters are really in danger. The battle lasts for the majority of the episode and doesn't slow up from the time it begins, until it ends.This episode has some of the most amazing visuals and sets so far on Game of thrones.

With all of the giants and creatures we have been teased with, you really get to see all of it this episode. It has a long continuous shot towards the end of the battle which was pretty awesome as well. The finale next Sunday should finish off, in my opinion, the best season yet.

Oh man, this one is certainly out of this world. The cinematography and choreography are on their own level, man. They're breathtaking, seriously jaw dropping. There are so many highlights regarding this episode, from its emotion to the battle scenes to its ending to the action-violence mayhem, some great dialogue, visuals, writing/plot, structure, and great directing, it makes for a strong and promising episode. Some scenes are particularly sad and heartfelt and captures its dramatic and melancholic essence so well. The battle between the Men of the Night's Watch and the Wildlings is utterly superb, seriously its own level of awesome. If you thought Blackwater was great, which it is, then this is just as good if not better. Acting is solid and there are some great scenes with chemistry between Sam and Jon, Jon and Ygritte, etc. Ollie has to ruin everything the idiot. This might be my joint favourite episode of the season and it's in my top ten Game of Thrones episodes. Ever. Jon Snow truly shines and stands out as the best in this one, heroic and strong. Up until this episode alone, this is a top five in the series. You gotta see it, even just for the last 20-25 minutes alone because it's bewildering entertainment. Truly epic.

I'm pretty sure that the story on The Wall is not one of the big favorites for most fans of the show. And it makes sense. There really hasn't been anything that truly stands out story-wise in terms of The Wall. Jon Snow has always been a well-liked character, but widely considered a boring one. It also didn't help that this episode immediately followed the epic end to the last episode, and I'm sure all fans are dying to find out what happens to Tyrion, so being forced to wait a week longer than they had hoped does not help. And that's part of why I was so excited for this one. I feel like this is a turning point in the storyline for Jon and The Night's Watch. From here on things are only going to get more interesting from here.

The episode itself completely surpassed my expectations. Like the amazing Blackwater episode, this was another episode that revolved simply around a battle, The Battle of Castle Black. And boy was it a doozy. My heart was pumping fast from start to finish, which is definitely a sign of amazing television. Also, not only were there big action moments, but also amazing character moments for the likes Jon and Sam, and even some of the less important characters throughout like Pyp and Grenn. I also loved (and was sad) at the way Jon and Ygritte's reunion was done, and Ser Alliser proving that while he may be a dick, he's a good leader, unlike that cowardly Janos Slynt.

Personally, I think that things are only going to get even more exciting for the storyline here at The Wall. The ending definitely left more to be seen for this storyline to come next episode, and book readers know that something's coming next episode that will completely change the current way things are in the Night's Watch. Overall, an amazing and action- packed episode at The Wall that I also think has served as set up for even more awesome things to come for this storyline. Also, this episode living up to the expectations of being the BIG Penultimate episode of the season (Season 1: Ned's beheading, Season 2: Blackwater, Season 3: Red Wedding) proves once again why Game of Thrones is simply the best show on TV right now.

Over the past 3 seasons, the 9th episode of Game Of thrones has always delivered something tantalizing. Something grueling or heartbreaking or down-right epic. And 'The Watchers on the Wall', the 9th episode of Season 4 most certainly kept this tradition going, with an incredible episode.

From the start, the unshakable sense of dread makes you nervy, i mean really. This battle has been building up since the first season. And boy, it delivered. It was a mighty spectacle to behold. The action sequences were some of the best this show has ever had. The epic nature of this episode is unrelenting. It was at times powerful and heartbreaking at the same time. It really did deliver. Neil Marshall, who also made season 2's battle of Black-water showed us that he is the go to man for large scale chaos.

To put it simply, Season 4 of Game of Thrones has easily been the best season. And it's because of episodes like this. Transcending the boundaries of television to bring us quality like this. It is truly Unforgettable.

Epic... simply epic.After watching this episode I had to express myself somehow and writing a review no matter how brief is the best way to do it. This episode is simply astonishing in the way the fight scenes are filmed. At times it's like third dimensional and you feel part of the carnage displayed on screen. The scale at which the episode is filmed is of epic proportions; Peter Jackson would have been proud. There are some flaws but those flaws cant be avoided when filming fight scenes involving many men. It is really a character driven episode because somehow you get the feeling that you wont be seeing some of these characters alive again. All in all a great episode and I place in the top three of my favorite game of thrones episodes.
