    "Game of Thrones" goes Hollywood in a most predictable possible ways

    Greetings from Lithuania.

    So "Game of Thrones" have finally hit the Hollywood in every meaning of this word in "Beyond the Wall". "Beyond the Disbelieve" - this is how this episode should have been named. As much as spectacular and at some points breathtaking this episode was, i was like "NO FUCXXX WAY THIS IS POSSIBLE" constantly during second half of this episode. I won't spoil it (although i would like to), but it is NOT possible any way it turned out here, even in a fantasy genre. I mean do they have like a GPS and teleport in that world? How much time it takes to simply travel in there?

    Now for 4 seasons "Game of Thrones" was the only show that almost literally could shock my and pulled a rug from viewers - it was unpredictable like anything out there. But from last season and especially this one, i do believe we will see a happy ending in this show overall. Sure some side characters will die, but it won't be as effective as in the past, because they don't have time to properly show it! This season is rushed as hell and i do believe that future book / books will be even more popular by simply telling this story in non rushed way.

    Overall, as much as spectacular "Beyond the Wall" was, i can not rate it any higher then 8 (and that is only because of great craftsmanship of the scenes) because of how unbelievably predictable it all turned out. And predictable in a most simple "Hollywood style", like we have seen in countless forgettable great looking movies. As it looks now, happy ending is not far away.

    Simply Great!!!

    After a first part of the chapter based on strategies and reflections; along the second part come together the show and the extreme emotion, you feel that your pulse itself accelerates and suddenly you can not help but exclaim: Great! Spectacular! The vision surpasses what you expected.

    Cliché

    Everything is becoming predictable and unprofessional.

    Had a great potential but ruined by poor writing

    Iam a die hard fan of this series which is why iam not giving the episode 1/10

    This episode is completely bad by all standards and scales there is...even in the game of thrones standard for past pre-finale episodes

    I excpected more ..alot more than this...but OK lets hope the finale makes up

    Not to mention that it is unnecessarily long

    Supersonic raven

    Work this out. Our heroes are surrounded by the walking dead. Gendry runs to the wall, tells his story to the night's watch, a message is composed and sent by a raven over a thousand miles to Dragonstone, Daenerys Targaryen gets organized and flys back ... all in 1 night. That has to be the fastest raven ever.

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      While most of the walking scenes beyond the Wall were filmed in Iceland, the frozen lake sequence was filmed in the Wolf Hill rock quarry near Belfast, Northern Ireland. The set was completely paved with concrete to serve as the ice, dressed with (plaster) rocks, and then covered in fake snow. About a 1,000 links were made and painted to create 400 feet of rusted chain. According to the crew, the actual temperature was so cold that the actors did not have to act as if they were freezing.
    • Goofs
      It is not explained why Jon and his crew don't simply break the ice around them as soon as it forms to ensure the dead are never able to reach them.
    • Quotes

      Tormund Giantsbane: Did you trip into the fire when you were a baby?

      Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane: I didn't trip, I was pushed.

      Tormund Giantsbane: And ever since, you've been mean.

      Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane: Will you fuck off?

      Tormund Giantsbane: I don't think you're truly mean. You have sad eyes.

      Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane: You want to suck my dick, is that it?

      Tormund Giantsbane: Dick?

      Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane: Cock.

      Tormund Giantsbane: Ah, dick. I like it.

      Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane: I bet you do.

      Tormund Giantsbane: Nope, it's pussy for me. I have a beauty waiting for me back in Winterfell. If I ever get back there. Yellow hair, blue eyes, the tallest woman you've ever seen. Almost as tall as you.

      Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane: Brienne of Tarth.

      Tormund Giantsbane: You know her?

      Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane: You're with Brienne of fucking Tarth?

      Tormund Giantsbane: Well, not with her yet. But I see the way she looks at me.

      Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane: How does she look at you? Like she wants to carve you up and eat your liver?

      Tormund Giantsbane: You do know her.

      Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane: We've met.

      Tormund Giantsbane: I want to make babies with her. Think of them - great big monsters. They'd conquer the world.

      Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane: How did a mad fucker like you live this long?

      Tormund Giantsbane: I'm good at killing people.
