"[Ghost] was in there in spades originally, but it's an incredibly time consuming and expensive character to bring to life," Miguel Sapochnik, the episode's director, told Business Insider. "Ultimately we had to choose between Wun-Wun and the direwolf, so the dog bit the dust."

$11-25 mil for this episode.

That's double or triple the Battle of Blackwater!

I think they could have split off some of the time with Wun Wun (especially where he's just being ineffective) to give Ghost at least one single attack scene just so we know he was there.

Hopefully this isn't a spoiler, but Ghost the Direwolf isn't played by a live animal. He's a CGI character.

Ghost isn't just a pure CGI creation.

Alberta wolf Quigly returns for Season 6 of Game of Thrones

Much of what is done is compositing and scaling work although wolves are already large animals:

Ya it was big shoot, on top of the battle of the Bastards, the CGI work for the dragons and ships 2as a lot of work. I'm no expert on filming or the cost, but I liked the end result

Of course a big club or uprooted tree would have easily undone their fricken shield wall/compression idea!

So the soundtrack to the finale is out. Pretty much confirms the final scene is Danny sailing to westeros right ?

NIce mix of the greyjoy and Targ them

I havent listneded to it but I always assumed the final scene would be bran crossing the wall and the WW breaking the wall down/going through the wall.

AND THAT picture has all of the starks and john and tyrion and tommen on it.

Do they all die?

I hope it is either that or Jon learning is parentage. I like Danny but i am so much more invested in the north that is how i want the season to end.

nah that is just the hall of face trailer thing where they put the faces of everyone

I suspect the final scene may be a big, green explosion!

That too. It's just considering the song is called winds of winter, and it's a mix of grejoy and danny's theme, it makes me think danny sailing will be the scene to end credit.

At 2:10 it ends and the classic credit songs starts. IMO it will be the final scene

The song IS EPIC, i just would prefere it ends in the north considering it's the winds of winter
