Game Of Thrones Season 4 Spoilers: 5 Things That Will Rule
2. The Battle For The Wall & Jon Being Made Lord Commander
Now this is something that I know lots of people will be excited about. One of the most common complains about Game of Thrones is the sometimes lack of action. Theres a lot of talking, but not a lot of fighting. Now this is mostly due to budget issues, as battle scenes are super expensive. The Battle of Blackwater of Season 2 was epic, but was also very much cut down from its ferocity in the books. Because of the money issue, Game of Thrones has generally done a good job of showing the impact of a battle without showing the battle itself. But if David Benioff and the other producers know what theyre doing, which they do, theyre definitely gonna show this one.
The Battle for the Wall, between the Wildlings and the men of the Nights Watch, promises to be a spectacular affair. After Jon Snow makes it back to the Watch after escaping the Wildlings, he warns them of what is ahead and they prepare for a battle. And the battle is epic, but one they seem like theyre going to lose, if not for the intervention of Stannis Baratheon and Melisandre. With their faces combined, they defend the wall and push back the Wildlings once and for all. I cant wait for this. Its going to be Battle of Blackwater, Part 2.
And it doesnt end there. After the battle, with a little manipulation by Sam but also a lot of love from his brothers, Jon Snow is declared Commander of the Nights Watch. To go from the bastard son of Ned Stark to Lord Commander is truly a great thing. Getting to kick some Wildling ass and becoming Lord Commander sounds like a good season for Jon Snow.
