Cut to close shot of Jon rowing away. Cut to close shot of WW staring back. Back to Jon. More dramatic staring. Cut to wide shot showing the boat 8 feet from the pier and moving away at a snail's pace.
Best episode of the year and no sex, no rape, not even any nudity, that I can recall.

There's also the dagger that was used to assassinate Bran.
I think it was mentioned that most of the old powerful houses have valryian steel swords but OathKeeper, HeartEater, and Longclaw are the only known ones to this point.
Got it. I believe other's corrected me a few pages back.
I looked up where Hardhome is on the map. WW army is spitting distance from Eastwatch by the Sea. Of course, they were just as close when they were at the Fist, but went east instead of south. I guess they were waiting for winter to officially start. Or following Mance's army.
So are all the surviving Wildlings now on those ships? That's all that's left? Or are there other camps north of the wall also?

how many made it to the ships? One review said 5000. There is also the remaining part of the army that attacked the wall still camped out just north of the wall.
I think Jon told Tormund that 5000 boarded the ships but "too many are staying", then all hell broke loose.
I thought at first that there was an avalanche or volcano erupting. Didn't think army of undead.

Same here. I thought it was just a wave of "Winter" rolling in.
Me when the **** started going down:
I thought Jon was going to have the giant shoot an arrow with a dragon glass tip at the WW leaders that were on the cliff. If he can shoot one up the wall at the crowd why not the WW.
Then again that was a massive arrow with a massive bow.

Best episode yet

But I am curious again. If Hardhome was episode 8 and the big **** often happens in episode 9, this week should be good.
I''m certain we're gonna get some more great ****, but there is no way that it can be on the scope of what we just saw. I'm betting Battle at Hardhome is the most expensive thing HBO has ever produced.
That said, we're probably seeing dragons do cool stuff too this season.
quote:A guy I work with and I were talking about how we would have loved to have 2 episodes showing the battle at Hardhome like the Battle at Castle Black in S4, but agreed that the CGI probably would have cost a fortune.quote:

Yeah, D&D kept talking about a battle this season that was by far the most expensive in the series, and now we know why.
The only downside is, if they blew most of the budget on this, what will we get in the last two episodes that is nearly this great? Probably won't be getting a full-blown battle at Winterfell anymore. But after these last two episodes, I'm sure it'll finish strong. Some fantastic storylines will come to a head.

I thought that episode was already one of, if not the, best of the season before the battle. Which is pretty crazy since we didn't get any Little Finger or Grandma Tyrell.
I thought Dany and Tyrion were really great and Qyburn is becoming one of my favorite characters. "The work continues." Zombie Mountain is going to bust Cersei out of there.

I think we can assume that they won't show a battle at Winterfell, if there even is one, due to how much they spent on Hardhome. Money well spent HBO, money well spent.
Its funny because all season people have been talking about the battle this season and everyone assumed it would be Stannis vs Roose because its been set up all season long. Oooooops!

I think the only "Battle for Winterfell" we'll be getting is Ramsay and his 20 men doing whatever he's planning on doing. Roose and the fall of Winterfell are going to happen some other way. Brienne is present but just chilling for a little too long. I'll bet money that she kicks some ass in the last episode.
They are being so heavy-handed with the 'Ollie will kill Jon' foreshadowing, that I'm wondering if it will actually happen. A couple episodes ago, I was pretty sure some Nights Watch betrayal was headed his way, now it's almost too obvious.
Dany and Tyrion were great. Great combo.
King's Landing hasn't really been exciting in a while, which is why the Sparrows were created I presume, but with everything else happening, it's even more irrelevant.
I do think it's interesting and telling how much the rest of the world doesn't fear what's north of the Wall. Such an 'out of sight, out of mind' mindset. Everyone knows of the Watch and that they matter, but don't do anything to really support them. We know stories of them make it to the rest of Westeros, because Ramsay knew Jon was Lord Commander and Tyrion knew of Mormont's killing. But everyone is just concerned with their own business. If anyone, only Stannis is really aware, even then, I'm not sure how much he is.

Keep in mind, 99.99% of people in Westeros/Essos have never even SEEN a White Walker, much less a whole army of them. I'm sure a lot of people are probably skeptical of their existence, and the ones that aren't probably don't expect to ever see one in their lifetime.
I also think most think of the wall as a place to send criminals and disgraced nobles. The function is not really to protect anything anymore.
They have been battling the wildlings for thousands of years, but that is really only a problem for the northern lords.

Yeah the foreshadowing for Ollie betraying Jon is neck deep at this point. The whole "making tough decisions" conversation last night with Sam so crazy obvious that that's what they're wanting people to think. It's going to be weird if he (Ollie) doesn't at least try to kill/hurt/betray Jon.
So what's the point of Jorah going back into the fighting pits just to get back in front of Dany? Is he going to try to win? And if so, what would be the point? Is he going to try to lose/die? Again, what would be the point? That whole thing is a bit lost on me at this point? And how is the grey-scale going to play into it? Does he figure that since he has it, he might as well go out with a sword in his hand?
So Arya's first assignment is going to be to kill a crooked life insurance salesman? There's some humor there somewhere.

I think Jorah knows he is going to die soon, and just wants to die "fighting" for Danaerys, since that's all he has left in his life.
Finally caught up on episodes 7 and 8 for the season and that's no avalanche. Things have finally started happening this season.
quote:Brienne is just waiting for the right opportunity to make a move and no one is expecting her. I think she's going to throw a wrench in Ramsey's plan. However, that seems a little too obvious, so that's probably the opposite of what's going to go down...

quote:I think it's fair to assume it was mostly The Dead killing Wildlings....
A had a little beef with the fighting at Hardhome. For awhile there it was really hard to see who was killing who, IMO
I'm very happy with the way these last couple episodes are coming out. Before episode 7, it looked like a bust of a season, and yet if they finish with another 2 great episodes, the overall season will look a hell of a lot better once seen all together. 6 "setup" episodes and then 4 great episodes to finish isn't too bad.

I'm not sure that anyone that isn't at the Wall has seen one.
What if Jorah plans on infecting everyone with gray scale?
That would be incredibly lame
