Podcast – Game of Thrones Season 4 Episode 9: The Watchers on the Wall.
We were led to believe this week’s battle would pitch a Wildling army of 100,000 against our tiny band of 102 plucky crows…and that’s not really what we got.
However what we did get was another awesome hour-long battle set-piece to match up to Season 2’s “Blackwater” – directed by that episode’s Neil Marshall (Dog Soldiers, The Descent). Join Simon and Jon for a brief discussion on this mostly excellent penultimate episode of Season 4.
Come on, let’s all say it together…”In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight!” waitaminute, no, “I stand between the candle and the star. We stand between the darkness and the light!” no…dammit…”I AM THE SWORD IN THE DARKNESS! I AM THE WATCHER ON THE WALLS! I AM THE SHIELD THAT GUARDS THE REALMS OF MEN!”
