I'm speechless. By far the best episode of the Series. It had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. It started with John snow, and when he went to burn Ygritte, all I could think was why was life so cruel to John Snow, just because he was a bastard. It's no fair that he has to suffer so much, and yet he bears it all. I felt his pain, anger, and love, fighting for a world that was so cruel to him. Is it any wonder that Mance Raider would think he could join his side truly? They gave him a place as equals, love and affection by Ygritte, no one could think any less of him if he really did turn his back on the world he came from.
Then it was the fight between Brianne and The Hound, my god. That wasn't in the book, and I didn't know what was going to happen. A metaphor for who they both were, they weren't knights, and they didn't fight like they were, it was savage and brutal. When Brianne pulled a Mike Tyson, and the savage cry she made at the end, I didn't dare take a break or wink for fear of missing anything. Then Arya, my god, what an emotional scene, that stare that carried so much emotion yet she was so numb because of all her experiences, my favorite character in the whole series. I don't know how they could of made that scene any better.
And then Tyrion Lannister, another breathless moment. My God, what a great effin episode.
Oh I can't forget when they finally got to the weirwood tree, and the children of the forest. So many great scenes, I'm shocked at how good it was.
I can't believe we have to wait for hella long till the season comes back on.
