Recap: This entire episode was about the battle at Castle
Black. Gilly makes her way back to
Castle Black with her baby. Sam takes
them to hide in the castle while the battle against the wildings begins. Sam finally kisses Gilly. Jon Snow leads his men in the battle. About five men die while holding a giant back
from the gate. There are deaths on both
sides of the battle. Most notable is the
death of Ygritte. Jon Snow holds her as
she dies from her arrow wounds.
Review: Characters are being killed off left and right. I was sad to see Ygritte die, but I had a
feeling either she or Jon Snow was a goner this episode. Their complicated love affair was bound for
failure. Finally, Sam shows his true
feelings for Gilly. I’m not sure what
this will mean for his future as a Night’s Watchman.
I understand that characters have to die in this series eventually,
but I’m not sure if they are being replaced with new characters that are
interesting enough. I still love the
show, but I am starting to wonder where the storyline will go from here.
What is next for the Night’s Watch? Will the last episode of the season give us
an update on Arye, Sansa, and Dany? Will
Tyrion be killed off?
One more episode to go…
