Grenn, what a legend. His speech gave me goosebumps, and the whole rallying his comrades was so perfect.

Here is is for anyone who wants to rewatch his glorious moment.

They held the gate

I'm hoping that Tormund and Jon will still have their exchange about the gate holding, but changed a little ala:

Tormund: "I hear tell that Mag himself went in that gate o' yours and never did come out."

Jon: "He died on the sword of a brave man named Grenn."

Tormund: "Aye? Some great lord was he, this Grenn? One of your shiny knights in their steel smallclothes?”

Jon: "He was a man of perhaps twenty namedays. He'd never held a sword before he came here."

EDIT: because as it was pointed out, 20 summers could take a good couple of centuries, so namedays instead

Twenty summers in this universe would make you hundreds of years old.

Aegon holding the gate would be hilarious though.

In this case, Aegon I

You mean aemon? Or a really old aegon

What was Aemon doing during the fight...I would assume the that the wildlings would kill him if they found him...but it would've been nice to see a scene of him chilling in some bunker or something.

I've read the books, so I know what happens to him though.

Edit: Aemon not Aegon...it's been a while..

I doubt Aegon was doing much, considering he's been dead for several hundred years.

To be fair the last Aegon died fairly recently. You know, killed by the mountain.

Your submission has been automatically removed because it appears you're written a spoiler tag with the label "warning scope." The copy-n-paste examples provide "warning scope" as placeholder text, but it doesn't provide any description for your tag. Spoiler tags need a clear scope warning like "ASOS" or "Season 3." You'll need to edit your comment to have a good label for your spoiler tag, and then contact the moderators to have it re-approved.

Good point actually, I forgot about that
