Game of Thrones S04E09 "The Watchers On The Wall" : MyTake

**Spoiler Alert**

This was about the Brothers of the Night's Watch defending the Wall against Mance Rayder's Army ( including Wildlings, Mammoth-riding Giants!! :-o)

Never thought I would appreciate Ser Alliser ( 'cos he always seem to frustrate Jon Snow at The Wall) but I liked him in this episode ( he led by example in the defence of The Wall-before he was injured by Tormund)

Hear him "..TONIGHT, WE FIGHT. AND WHEN THE SUN RISES I PROMISE YOU, CASTLE BLACK WILL STAND..."

Next week it's hopefully back to hating him!

Pyp- I kid you not, the moment I felt like saying "I like Pyp" the arrow went through his neck. George RR Martin is watching us all!

Never like anyone on this show!!

Sam's acting was immense in this one

When Gilly said to him: "Promise me you won't die." I wanted to ask her: what show do you think this is?

Silly Gilly

Then Sam replied "I promise you I won't die."

At that moment, somewhere in the grave for those with squashed heads:

Oberyn Martell said: "LOL, I said that once"

I've never clapped more than when the huge blade ( the Scythe) swung across the wall and killed all the Wildling climbers

Grenn- is a true brother of The Night's Watch.

When he recited the oath to encourage his other brothers. At that point he became legend to me. He held the gate.....and they killed the Giant!

Fading that scene to black as they all finished chanting their oath made it legendary. ( everybody died at that particular gate! We didn't witness it but we can imagine it)

They probably saved The Seven Kingdoms by losing their lives

( That ape-like Giant ( pix 2) is called Mag Mar Tun Doh Weg better known as Mag The Mighty: your worse nightmare, really!! ( he was killed by the blacksmith, Donal Noye in the books. So the show changed that bit! )

His Bow looks like a tree trunk!! No wonder he shot a brother to the other side of the wall. The other side of the Wall!!

Olly basically shoots an arrow through Ygritte's heart and then gives Jon Snow a nod. That's badass!!

( Ygritte had killed his father in a previous episode)

Jon Snow's fight with Thenn was immense. The latter got an axe in the head for his troubles!

Tormund Giantsbane - was the last Wildling standing as the Brothers repressed the Wildlings following day 1 battle

Lest I forget...

Ser Barristan is the biggest sissy in Westeros. The weakling hid while his brothers were shedding blood to defend The Wall. I'm sure he's on many viewers 'to die' list

Psy ft Snoop- Hangover

Check out Psy's latest effort, featuring Snoop Dogg, titled "Hangover"

Won't be as popular as Gangnam Style, but still catchy video...and Snoop Dogg brought his rap game to the party, as usual

Blast from the Past- Banky W's Yes/No

Saw this 2012 Banky W number online.

Wasn't feelin' the cheesy "yes,no,yes,no" chorus, but, overall, it was a decent effort

( mellow tunes, perfect instrumentals, lovely voice)

Perhaps the lads from the film, The Best Man Holiday, swagger-jacked his style too, eh?

( pix 2: when they performed New Edition's Can You Stand The Rain )

Very similar get up

Game of Thrones S04E08- The Mountain & The Viper

 

* majors spoiler alert*

Lessons learnt from this episode:

1. Oberyn ( RIP), this is why you don't start monologuing in the middle of a fight.

Folks this is why you don't taunt when you are ahead. Doesn't matter the sport

When he started asking who ordered his sister's murder, you'd think he would throw his spear at Tywin Lannister. But then this is GoT of course (and George R.R. Martin is the greatest Troll of all ) so sh*t just had to go downhill as usual!!

Pedro Pascal killed that Oberyn Martell role ( pun intended)

Oberyn had his head squashed like an orange by The Mountain but Pedro Pascal shouldn't be short of roles after this. That was top notch acting! I'm buying whatever he's selling next

( if you like gore, you can view that scene here: )

Oberyn could have avoided such a dastardly end but:

He was blinded by revenge

His head exploded by revenge

( I hope you saw what I did there? )

2. Who made Maester Pycelle the hype master

His introduction of the fight was more like 'Get ready to bumble" rather than 'Get ready to rumble" :D

3. Home truth: Never love anyone on this show. They will always die!

( for people who won't be able to see this episode for some time, this is the comic edition of what went down in that bloody scene at the end )

4. Tyrion's speech about the names of all kinds of killing was top draw yet again ( regicide, matricide, patricide, infanticide,suicide... 'cousincide')

When he started talking about the beetles getting CRUSHED ( by his 'simple' cousin Orson) , I should've known what was coming then.

5. Sansa's lying just went into stratospheric territory. That's some Baelish-level manipulation there. She's learning from the best.

Player SansaStark has entered the game!!

6. Just when you think Ser Jorah Mormont's ( Aka Friendzone) story couldn't get any more tragic! He's shown to have betrayed Daenerys right from day 1. The Khaleesi isn't happy and kicks him to the curb

7. Don't mess with the Wildlings. They are a brutal lot. However, Ygritte shows she still has a tender heart, in the midst of the mayhem

8. Guard: Lady Arryn died

The Hound's expression was like ARE YOU F*CKING KIDDING ME!

Arya's laughing ( there's no money for you now, Hound) was the icing on the cake in that scene ( this was a few minutes after The Hound had told her: " nothing makes you happy" Apparently bringing murderous justice to evil men and the ridiculous irony of the situation do! )

9. Ramsay Snow & Roose Bolton had a Simba and Mufasa moment- you could almost love that scene in which Lord Bolton gave legitimacy to his bastard son by allowing him adopt his Bolton name. But then you remember that the older stabbed Robb Stark while the younger flays people! So you say to yourself: Never!!

10. Grey Worm may not have stones & a pillar ( go figure what those are! :-) ) but he knows a beautiful naked woman when he sees one- take a bow, Missandei
