Well, there were a lot of casualties in the books. they were Night's Watch characters that we got to know over the first 3 books, like Donal Noye.
Dan and Dave wanted the show version to have an emotional impact by killing off known characters, but the show never got to introduce much of the other Night's Watch characters. So, they killed Grenn and Pyp
It should also be said that Jon and Ygritte never came anywhere near each other during the battle in the book until after the first wave stopped and he got to say goodbye, but they made it a lot better in the show.
Although next episode is going to be awesome when it shows the other fight at the Wall.
I wish I had that mindset, a lot of the big ones were spoiled for me, future seasons, so I ended up reading all the books so I know fully what's going to happen for at least 2 more seasons.
Spoilers don't really bother me, because I'm more interested in what happened leading up to that thing that was spoiled. Kinda like the saying, "it's not the destination that matters, it's the journey". But when one of the things in the most recent book got spoiled for me(ending of Jon Snow) that's when I stopped caring about what gets spoiled
So spoilers for any lurkers reading this No really, don't read it guys because it might be a spoiler. Don't be mad. No seriously, you will be held responsible *************** .
Jon dies? Go ahead and let me know if he does. I like to see the signs leading up to things, so it'd be cool to see the foreshadowing if it's true.
He gets stabbed 4 times before he blacks out by his crow brothers because he's a stubborn moron that didn't head Melisandre's warning to keep Ghost with him. It's commonly said that he'll survive it by book readers because why else wouldn't GRRM have said he's dead in the book unless he plans on making Jon confirmed for Azor Ahai
DONT CLICKBut to be fair gren and his badass crew ******* killed a giant in a small tunnel. How sick is that? **** that whole episode was hype as a motherucker
I ******* loved that episode so much! It was close to the best one of the series it was so perfect, I cried when beard man died though. I miss beard man.
Since last episode I started doubting every person that so much as merely implies they will live.
MFW when I was expecting Jon Snow, Samwell and everybody else die in a most brutal manner.
