One of the worst I'd say.

He lost against everyone he fought.

He is nowhere close to Barristan, Jorah, Bronn, Mountain etc.


Dude he's like 18, give him some years?
And why is Jorah even in that list? What has he done?

Also if one person dies and the other survives I would call the survivor the winner but maybe that's just me.

Guys, why couldn't the giants just have lifted the door of another castle? there are like 15 other castles through which they could enter the North and they have giants and mammoths and all that shit so it wouldn't be that hard I guess.

It's like, there is only one place with enemies! Lets go there! Logic!

Don't worry if you're confused after episode 1. Things will be repeated several times throughout the show.

Maybe the inactive castles actually sealed their entrances.

I think most other castles dont have doors? But the other points still stand ofc.

The castles that are not in use are supposed to be sealed (the door was covered in ice and became part of the Wall). Jon even asked to do same with Castle Black.

well 2 things
1. They need a passway, so let' s assume only Castle black has active tunnels through the Wall, as others said, they need to break that.
2. Mance's plan was to hit it from both sides, and it almost worked, the fighters were busy atop of the wall. If Jon's squad doesnt come to help, it looked like the wildlins could actually take it. But then Jon whipped out some pro fighting skills and Sam let loose Ghost

They didn't just want to get to the other side of the wall for shits and giggles. They know the White Walkers are real, and so they'll probably want to capture the wall intact and man it themselves as a defense. That means capturing Castle Black, the Shadow Tower and Eastwatch-by-the-Sea. It also means completely dislodging the Night's Watch from the Wall. In other words, they have to go the the enemy at some point.

Also, as others have already said, the abandoned castle doors have been sealed.

That said, is attacking Castle Black directly the easiest way across? No, but Mance's plan was to first place a team on the other side of the wall so that the gate could be raised from either side. And it almost worked! And only a small fraction of his army was lost in the effort.

Mance horde doesn't just include warriors, don't forget that.
It includes whole tribes, including old, weak, sickly and young people. Not everyone can just scale the wall.

As was mentioned already, it is very likely that the abandoned castles have completely sealed tunnels or no tunnels at all.
Think about it: Why do you need to have 10+ tunnels through the wall if you only occasionally send a handful of rangers north?
At this point I am considering only Castle Black even has a tunnel. Because at least 1 castle needs to have a tunnel.

It's quite ironic that you complain about the logic of the show because the wildlings don't abuse the huge obvious weakspots of open tunnels at abandoned castles that the night's watch must have because you didn't think this one through.

Yeah, pretty sure GRRM / Nights watch would have considered this gaping loophole long before you all. Considering the far higher stakes for both

the only part that was a bit stupid is that 3 giants + a mammoth + random foot soldiers were trying to tear down the wall rather unsuccessful and then 1 giant gets mad and deadlifts the gate by himself. Ok...

Why didn't all the giants just lift the door and let a shit load of people run through? If 1 giant can hold the wall up by himself, imagine how long 3 giants could hold the wall, probably even long enough to setup something to hold the wall up indefinitely.

I don't know, that part was just really stupid to me.

I don't think they even knew if they could lift the door. I doubt they were allowed to head up to the gate and try lifting it ahead of time. They had no clue how strong the door was dude. Also all the Nights Watch would need is more explosive barrels and boom, another dead giant while he's trying to lift the door.
