    Phenomenal, magnificent, one of a kind!

    This episode was pure epicness in any way. It was an adrenaline rushed action packed with perfect narrative and brilliant acting. This series can only be better, an that's fact. I am still trembling and shaking because of what I've seen. Game of Thrones have all kind of stories we love from intrigues, love, adventure, epicness to horror, and thats why it is the best show in TV history.

    +Tyrion & Dany very dynamic story with perfect introduction of whats to follow.

    +Sansa and Theon story progression; Fine acting as usual.

    +Valyrian steel and John sword ;)

    +Cersei in a difficult situation. Perfect acting.

    +Spokes on a wheel. Effective monologue.

    +Winter and horror. Glimpse of future chaos. Definitely proved that chaos isn't a ladder...only pit! Cool scene at the end.

    My score: 10/10 if I could give it more I definitely would! Pure brilliance.

    I have no words.

    I can't think of words to describe this episode, whenever I decide to binge the Game of Thrones series this is the episode I look forward to, it's just phenomenal, especially the battle at the end, i really liked the way Tormund stood up for Jon aswell.

    Amazing.

    Best thing i ever watched

    This is for me the best episode i have ever watched in my entire life.

    I watch every season of game of thrones without watching any trailers or spoilers so this episode just shocked me. The last 20-25minuttes are just so epic and amazing that i cant find any word to describe it.

    Thank u so much David Benihoff and D.B weiss for giving us this amazing show.

    The Increasing Army of Wights and White Walkers

    Tyrion convinces Daenerys to become her adviser and she spares Johar, banishing him from Meereen. In king's Landing, Cercei refuses to confess and is informed that the High Sparrow has a strong case against her. In Braavos, Arya is assigned to pose as seller of oyster to spy a gambler. In Winterfell, Theon discloses to Sansa that Ramsay has mutilated him and also that he has not killed her two brothers Bran and Rickon. Ramsey tries to convince his father to attack Stannis. Jon Snow and Tormund meet the Wildlings in their village and try to convince them to move to Castle Black, but only 5,000 of them accept the offer and embark in the ships. Out of the blue, they are attacked by the wights and White Walkers.

    "Hardhome" is probably the best episode of "Game of Thrones" so far with an unforgettable and exciting battle. All the segments are important and interesting but the fight between the Wildlings and the Night's Watch against the wights and the White Walkers is the best sequence ever. My vote is ten.

    Well....What can i say now.....WINTER IS COMING !!

    well..i don't know were to begin. I mean the is one of the finest hour of television that i have witnessed until now. i don't know what people say about season 5 being the least best among all the seasons, but i can surely tell you that all the starting episodes were made for the character development and for a great build up which has finally paid of in this episode. I cant call it just an episode because it was an experience. The best thing in the episode was the long stare between the walker leader and Jon snow, i mean it was one of the most intense scenes one could witness in their whole lives. those who have not watched the episode and is reading my review , i can assure you one thing, IT WILL BE THE GREATEST HOUR YOU WOULD HAVE EVER SPENT WATCHING TELEVISION AND I MEAN IT.

    • Trivia
      This episode required a heavy budget for CGI, and it got to the point where the visual effects crew had to ask HBO for more money.
    • Goofs
      In the last scenes, Wun Wun walks towards the sea, heading to the ship, but he disappears right after that. As the cameras feature the boat moving towards the ship, Wun Wun can't be seen anywhere on the water. He simply vanishes.
    • Quotes

      Tyrion Lannister: When I was a young man I heard a story about a baby born during the worst storm in living memory. She had no wealth, no lands, no army, only a name and a handful of supporters, most of whom probably thought they could use that name to benefit themselves. They kept her alive, moving her from place to place, often hours ahead of the men who had been sent to kill her. She was eventually sold off to some warlord on the edge of the world and that appeared to be that. And then a few years later the most well informed person I knew told me that this girl without wealth, lands, or armies had somehow acquired all three in a very short span of time, along with three dragons. He thought she was our best, last chance to build a better world. I thought you were worth meeting at the very least.
