I enjoyed that episode but was a bit annoyed that it was all Wall & nothing else. No Imp, no dragons, no annoying brother of the king, no Arya. Now I gotta wait a whole week to see those characters & their stories.

So I learned that some of us are just miserable/critical when it comes to everything, not just Jane's...kidding...I liked the episode, all Wall was needed imo as Jon hasn't had as much screen time lately, plus we needed a break from all the other goings on. Definitely good to see Ghost again, and I was glad the little kid that was operating the elevator took somebody out after what they did to his parents...never really cared for that character...and finally my man Sam stepped it up and grew a set... :lol:

I wanna know how they're going to finish all of them, since it's just one episode left.

That episode was so boring.

I do not care about Jon Snow.

I'd rather watch Arya and The Hound walk and banter for an hour.

When you guys see what Jon Snow ends up doing down the line, you'll care a bit more I think. I can appreciate that the ep wasn't everyone's cup of tea but to call last night boring is just dumb...too much talk boring...whole episode of fighting, also boring...alrighty then...

I actually liked that the whole episode was about the battle, imo, that was what it deserved.

we all love the series. no need to take it personal if someone didn't enjoy the episode.

i'm sure i will like the final episode because the stories that i like the most will be addressed.

i like story and dialog way more than long battles. :noclue:

the finale was ok. maybe i expected more to happen but if more happened that usually means more people die. the only death that sucks is the hound.....if he is really dead.

for you nerds....what did arya give the ship captain. what was that? i don't remember.

The coin that gave her the guy who killed the first guys on her list. I forgot his name. He was from Braavos. Just checked, he's Jaqen H'gar.

The skeleton sword fight felt a little strange after everything that happened before it...like it was from some entirely different (and much more silly) show or movie. I guess it was done about as well as you can do something like that. The Children of the Forest looked a bit more human than I expected...



The only death that sucks isn't the Hound. The death of Tywin Lannister sucks as well. It's not like he didn't deserve it, but he's one of the best actors and characters.

It was great to see Stannis ride in. Bend the fucking knee to Stannis, you scum.

Got to say that Season 4 has been a bit of a let down.

The series creators really messed up some key scenes imo (Lysa going out the moon door and Tyrions final scene)

I enjoyed it...I didn't like the dragons getting shut down in the catacombs, but it's for everyone's safety. Those cries... :nyrexall:
I agree, both of Tyrion's murders weren't what I expected. It was better in the book. But that look he gets on his way to Tywin's chambers was very scary.
Jojen's dead was kinda cartoonish, but I won't deny I felt relieved. He was just moody all the time and he only had one purpose.

There was a conversation between Jaime and Tyrion in the books (when Jaime frees him) that sets the whole scene up perfectly, where was that conversation? You make your audience sit through pointless Half-wit killing beetles dialogue before the Viper vs. Mountain, but you're going to leave out Tyrions whole motive for seeking out his father before he escapes? :noclue:

Yup, I was wondering...has Tysha ever come up in the series? that would be the only excuse for them making it this way. Ok, just checked the wiki, she was mentioned in season 1. I agree, that conversation was essential to understand why he wanted to kill his dad. It just seemed that he only did it because he never loved him. Tyrion is a stronger character.

I'm just mad he got killed on the toilet... :lol:

Overall I was ok with the finale...didn't expect the Hound Brienne throwdown to be so rough...glad my dude slipped away into the night...never been happier to see Stannis pop up; I thought Jon was about to get it...as I'm on book 2 I gotta say, my standards for judging a book vs a TV show or movie are different...there are so many ways they could have fucked ALL of this up the fact that the show has been so well done overall is awesome. They're bound to mess up or mess with the source material a lot...I definitely feel the books more, but I can only imagine what goes into putting a show of this scale together and how they decide what bits to keep and play with how challenging that must be. Not a bad season at all...the skeleton thing was slightly cheesy compared to last week, but they did enough to make me wanna get right back into it for season 5...

This made me laugh a bit...

Much like Perry Farrell, Tyrion loves them whores... :hehe:
To add...the most shocking thing about last night was Cersei telling Tywin about her and Jaime... :yikes:

I agree totally, that's why I've stopped comparing them.

Apparently some fans got mad at her for posting this on her instagram account...

That's why she's wearing the 'I'm not sorry' shirt. She could be Keira Knightley's older sister, or is it just me?
