Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe more than a minute-long, 360-degree shot of the battle took three and a half weeks to stage and film. Director Neil Marshall included it when he saw the fully realized Castle Black set and felt that this set and action "were just screaming for it." It was blocked and rehearsed in two hours and shot in seven takes with a camera mounted on a crane. Marshall stated that the greatest miracle was that they got such a complex scene on film in only seven attempts and that no one got hit by the sweeping camera, which was an indication of how well everyone had timed their movements.
- GoofsStyr recognizes Jon during the battle, although he joined Tormund's party after Jon ran away from the wildlings, therefore could not have recognized him.

Beats Battle of Black Water
Epic... simply epic.After watching this episode I had to express myself somehow and writing a review no matter how brief is the best way to do it. This episode is simply astonishing in the way the fight scenes are filmed. At times it's like third dimensional and you feel part of the carnage displayed on screen. The scale at which the episode is filmed is of epic proportions; Peter Jackson would have been proud. There are some flaws but those flaws cant be avoided when filming fight scenes involving many men. It is really a character driven episode because somehow you get the feeling that you wont be seeing some of these characters alive again. All in all a great episode and I place in the top three of my favorite game of thrones episodes.
