I guess he gave her a little credit for not outright killing him? Like Tormund said...he could tell she missed the "kill spots" on purpose. And maybe he felt like he deserved it too for leaving her.

About to rewatch the episode in a sober state of mind and see if I still think that was the best episode of TV I've ever seen.

It was spectacular.
Sam is going to start rocking. Great character progression.
Jon Snow is the man.
Ygritte dying was my only complaint

We still haven't watched the episode. It will be interesting to see my wife's reaction to Ygritte's death, she likes the character.

I was kind of disappointed the whole episode was spent on a single day when nothing really was decided except Ygritte dying. Great episode but I've watched more suspenseful episodes in this series alone

the death of his friend gave him extra adrenaline to lift the gate

It's down to just Jon and Sam, now, of the guys that started with them, I believe.

Pyp got it from Ygritte and Grenn from the giant - I think those were the last 2, between the big battle with the wights/WWs, Craster's Keep (twice), and now this battle - all the rest have been killed.

Also, I think the wildlings were already running away at that point? They're barely trained or organized at all, so even though there's thousands of them, seeing their friends get nailed by burning arrows, flaming barrels and giant anchor-things was enough to make them turn tail and run until Mance could re-organize them and send them back the next day.

ETA: Point being, I don't think anyone else was left in that area. That giant was just mad seeing his other giant friends die.
