Hardhome battle all the way!

As a fantasy/medieval fan and RPG player since youth (Dungeons & Dragons mostly) It was an utter, complete and total nerdgasm! The pinnacle of my fandom of the genre! It was so unbelievable I told my wife to pinch me to wake me up!

Highlights:

1. The Thenn charging the badass white walker that just STEPS out of the way in a totally cool I'm-a-millenia-years-old-battle-hardened-undead-against-who-you-stand-no-chance way.

2; Jon actually wins the mano a mano fight. Just Longclaw not breaking would be enough to demoralize any white walker that seems to be sentient.

3. The undead falling off the cliff and then being sort of reanimated and charging forward. Some said, I wondered, and probably physics does too, that their bones would have been shattered by the fall. But... evil necromancer magic is at work here! Instant bone-aid.

4. Undead children. Creepy and awesome, in a ghoulish evil way, but awesome. And terrifying.

5. The giant. I just love when high fantasy pops in like this, an actual giant race member (sorry Clegane!). Now if only this guy had a custom made 60 foot long Valyrian steel two-handed sword, things might have been easier.
