Yeah, I wondered about that earlier, and asked how many gates there are.


I pulled this only from the Hodor approved GoT wiki and did not dip down into the "in the books section".

There used to be fortifications lining the wall - back when the Night's Watch was very large and capable. Now, they're down to a fortification on the Western end (Shadow Tower), a port on the Eastern end (Eastwatch), and Castle Black - probably because it is near the end of the King's Road and roughly centered.

The other fortifications are currently unmanned - I think they mentioned those other gates have all been permanently sealed - but that I'm not sure. It would not make sense to leave the openings unguarded.

I just asked in the middle thread though.

I just piggybacked off your question a little bit.

that makes sense due to lack of manpower.

also when jon and thorne were talking/arguing about flooding the tunnel/entrance it only sounded like 1 entrance.

Finally got around to watching this episode. So glad snow finally came through. What a badass.

And at the kid who gave the "I got your back, bro" nod to snow after killing his lady. I liked her but that will probably harden snow a little more. Is he now the leader of the wall?

I guess big bodies doesn't mean big brains because the giants should have waited MUCH longer to make their attack.


I thought it was times well. They would have had more men on their asses once the wildlings lost the inside.

He should have had them waste the oil drums on useless wildlings. Then bring out the mammoths and giants.


What would they have done once they got to the gate? There's no way they were getting in. Besides, snow specifically said to drop the barrels on the mammoths and giants and use the wall mines on the climbers.

Thursday is just a little too much enthusiasm. I think Saturday is the accepted norm.

Still a huge party foul. I really don't read it that much anymore, though. The spoiler maesters are out there, and this is their last chance until next year.

Well, I guess that's not true, but they definitely get more bang out if it during the season.

I'm not starting it. People will probably get butthurt.

someone start the thread now. the book readers thread is already 5 pages which leads me to believe they know some shite is about to go down in this next episode.

Can someone give me a link to the E10 Hodor thread please? I did a search on Hodor and found every recent thread but that one.
