When Jon Snow kills that Thenn leader, he first spits in his face to distract him. The deserter leader did the same thing to Jon a while back, giving him a lesson about not fighting with honor. Seems Jon listened  | ||

That and the fact that if you were a named character you took out a guy every time you swing your sword unless fighting another named character, and if you aren't a named character you die in one swing of the sword. It's typical of most action movies, and it can be entertaining, but it's doesn't keep you locked in the "anyone can die" state of mind that the previous main character deaths worked so hard to create. Consider that if a character was a good fighter it probably would make a name for himself and would be a more important character, so it's normal that unknown people die very easily. However this doesn't apply to all situations, for example when all the wildlings ran towards the wall, tons of them got killed by arrows but you knew Ygritte couldn't be hit because it would be a very dumb death. (although iirc there's a scene where she dodges an arrow?) | ||

All it did was make shit easier to dodge because they can see it coming. | ||

Oh and I think it's totally possible to dodge one of those arrows with good reflexes. | ||

As in, Ned Stark gets a pardon. No wait, betrayal can never be forgiven. I loved only one woman all my life. Not you. *push into the moon door* And for our last song tonight, we will perform the rains of castamere. The Lannisters send their regards. Then we have poisoned wine at a kings table and a fookin legend backstabbing his superior officer. | ||

I thought they needed to burn all the corpses so they didn't turn into those zombies we saw a few seasons ago. | ||

Also I'd like to point out that the random unnamed guys didn't get one hit killed. Most of the nights watch guys had sheilds and the Wilding dudes had to swing a few times :p | ||

I imagine in the medieval times they used Fire Arrows for some reasons, especially at night to light up the area | ||

Is it personally me who doesn't care about Ygritte's death? John's nightwatch friends death were more much worse. Too bad we didn't saw battle of 6 nightwatch guards vs Giant behind the gates. I bet Oberyn could've held him EZPZ by himself :D | ||

It's as they said, they outnumber the brother by 1000 to 1. Mance has yet to send more guys in because he doesn't knoe for sure the night's watch numbers. | ||

Jon left because he believes that if he can kill Mance, the wildlings are going to go at it Game of Thrones style with all the different factions fighting each other as they vie for control of the wildling horde. In turn, that infighting will weaken them to the point that they can't attack the wall again. There's another possibility that he's actually going to try and reason with Mance, since Mance is a former Night's Watch. | ||
