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. The giant may not have been able to lift it prior to damaging it / pulling on it. After he lifted it Mance's army may not have been in a position to notice / reinforce.

Or maybe Giants are dumb.

One of the worst I'd say.
He is a handsome guy though, he killed Ygritte with his smile. ??? ??? He lost against everyone he fought. He is nowhere close to Barristan, Jorah, Bronn, Mountain etc. He's also like 18 in the show, while the people you just rattled off are in their late-30's or beyond. He was trained in a castle, has good equipment, and looks to be getting plenty of practice so it's not out of the question for him to be one of the best someday. He's certainly killed his fair share already.
Not only that, but before he went to the wall he had never killed anybody. He is getting better every time though as you can see he fought dirty vs that thenn.

This is Team Liquid. We should all know that twitch chat is nothing more than a haven for trolling and being a jackass. Hell kappa's get you banned here lol. Noone should ever have twitch chat open, ever. MAAAAYBE if it was sub only chat then you could probably be safe. Maybe.
Has anyone found a release date for season 4? Gonna assume its around the same time 2014 as season 3 was but would be nice to know. Looking on HBOs site I got nothing

Yeah I have had to train myself to close my eyes if I read anything other than 'Hodor' that's GoT related in a twitch chat. I just close it for a while. SC2 fans seem to be alright most of the time. I also hyper focus on remembering something else, if I accidentally read something, to hope my brain misses it's opportunity to effectively move what I read from short term memory to long term.

If you mean the release date for the DVD/Blurays of S4, it's been in February every year since the series began.

Probably because they were ordered to use the mammoth to actually get rid of the gate? It's just that the giant got pissed and decided to do shit himself.
You don't fuck with giants.

Jon maybe not as good as the others as described in the book? or in the show. But since season 1 I think he's the character that has fought the most, I think. If I were to consider ONLY the scenes in the show probably he rank's 2nd for me. Oberyn being number 1 (even tho he died) . I even find Ned vs Jamie really sloppy. .

He may have fought a lot in the show, but not that much prior to it. Barristan for example is very rarely fighting in the show, but had dozens of years of experience before that. Qhorin Halfhand (who by the way is an excellent fighter noone mentioned yet) had him down, but didn't kill him because he was match-fixing. The fookin legend also would have probably won, if it would have been a 1v1. Killing Styr and a bunch of other wildlings in 1v2/3 definitly gives some credit to Jon, but he isn't at the very top level yet.

Season 2, brb, searching the scene and editing it in. + Show Spoiler +
1:20-1:30 Qhorin knocks Jon down, but taunts instead of killing, so Jon can stand back up and kill Qhorin, as it was planed.

This season felt so spread thin. Way too many characters and story to tell in just 10 hours.

66 minutes episode! Yesssssssss! My only hope is that Tyrion won't die, even when he already has been sentenced to death.

Was not a serious fight from any side. John was just defending, surprised about his brother attacking him.
