The Watchers on the Wall: Game of Thrones Recap



With only one more episode left and way too many plot-lines hanging in the balance, which (if any) will get some resolution next week? I think most people are curious to see what Tyrion's fate will be, and if he can find some way to keep his head. With so much going on with everyone, it'll be interesting how they'll end the season next week. What jaw dropping moment will leave us reeling, and having to wait another year to see what happens next.
Last night the death toll increased with the long awaited battle on the Wall. In the episode, aptly titled, "The Watchers on the Wall," the battle between the Night's Watch and Mance Rayder's men, wildlings and giants finally erupted. With many lives lost on both sides, the most memorable was the fierce red head Ygritte. As Jon and Ygritte came face to face, it was inevitable that one of them would not be walking away.

It wasn't Jon's arrow or sword that did it either, but Olly — the newly appointed elevator boy orphaned in a recent wildling attack on his village. He shot that arrow that sent Ygritte to her knees. It was bittersweet, as Jon held her, her final words were, “We should’ve stayed in the cave,” she tells him, and lastly, “You know nothing, Jon Snow.”
Though the episode did not quite end in victory, the wildlings will be back, and the safety of the Castle Black is in jeopardy.
So what are everyone's projections for next weeks episode?
