Because books.

I can't believe there's only one episode left.

Oh, Jon Snow. Sam and Ygritte and I love you equally, I think.

So many amazing shots from the top of the wall. I don't know how they did any of that, but it looked awesome.

Yeah to all that.

That is one hell of an oath.

I love how EVERYONE (except Janos Slynt) stepped up and showed their mettle.

Oh, the oath! That scene with the giant and the gate was fantastic. I appreciate that we didn't have to see how it played out, though.

Jon telling Ygritte that they'd go back to the cave made me a little misty, I have to admit.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

The crane shot when Jon* arrived was, I think, the biggest practical (rather than digital) bit.

Also, the Wolf Unit apparently wanted a piece of the bloody eye action.

Me, too.

I cheered when the one giant went down, and then I felt bad because there don't seem to be many of them left.

And now I realize that I was so caught up in watching that that I forgot to hydrate and didn't hear the dryer buzz. Good thing I wasn't actively trying to cook anything.

Wait, what?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Kit's ankle was broken for most of last season. Like, the jump into the pool in the cave? That was a stunt double, due to him being unable to physically do it. He could "run" a few steps by the end of filming, I think.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I lost track of the wolf--did they show anything after it tearing that Wildling's throat out.

Making Ygritte's last words what they were was more than cheesy. I had to roll my eyes.

The scythe was fucking kewl.

I hope whatisname gets properly shamed for hiding in the fridge.

I agree.
