Storyline

- TriviaThe more than a minute-long, 360-degree shot of the battle took three and a half weeks to stage and film. Director Neil Marshall included it when he saw the fully realized Castle Black set and felt that this set and action "were just screaming for it." It was blocked and rehearsed in two hours and shot in seven takes with a camera mounted on a crane. Marshall stated that the greatest miracle was that they got such a complex scene on film in only seven attempts and that no one got hit by the sweeping camera, which was an indication of how well everyone had timed their movements.
- GoofsStyr recognizes Jon during the battle, although he joined Tormund's party after Jon ran away from the wildlings, therefore could not have recognized him.

Featured review
Now that's a battle!
Over the past 3 seasons, the 9th episode of Game Of thrones has always delivered something tantalizing. Something grueling or heartbreaking or down-right epic. And 'The Watchers on the Wall', the 9th episode of Season 4 most certainly kept this tradition going, with an incredible episode.
From the start, the unshakable sense of dread makes you nervy, i mean really. This battle has been building up since the first season. And boy, it delivered. It was a mighty spectacle to behold. The action sequences were some of the best this show has ever had. The epic nature of this episode is unrelenting. It was at times powerful and heartbreaking at the same time. It really did deliver. Neil Marshall, who also made season 2's battle of Black-water showed us that he is the go to man for large scale chaos.
To put it simply, Season 4 of Game of Thrones has easily been the best season. And it's because of episodes like this. Transcending the boundaries of television to bring us quality like this. It is truly Unforgettable.
