There has also no cold vapor been coming out of the mouths of Jon Stark, the night watch or any of the wildlings who are all running around in the supposedly ice cold. I mean seriously, how hard is it to go film this in iceland and make it realistic? Or atleast CGI photoshop this into every frame?

This was the first thing that came to mind for me when I was thinking of something to compare it to, as LOTR are still one my favorite movies. But there is a lot more suspension of disbelief there because it is a pure fantasy setting (it's humans fighting orcs with a big eye watching them) whereas the fantasy elements in GoT are kept to a bare minimum and this war might aswell have been played out in a pure medieval setting. In terms of grandeur LOTR wins out but in terms of "this grabbed me by the throat" (for lack of a better way to explain it) this episode did better imo.
