The ending was perfect ending on Arya and her new beginning. The season began with her and fittingly ended with her.
A lot of sad stuff happened. I feel sad.
There's an entire rap album devoted to Game of Thrones. It's...not very good, but the idea is solid. There are a lot of similiarities between Westeros intrigue and thug lyfe, that's for sure.
Anyway, I really enjoyed that episode! My favourite parts for the (albeit brief) crossing-over of storylines - Jon/Stannis in particular was great to see, especially with the whole "What would Ned do" thing. Also, I cheered out loud when Brienne beat the Hound to a bloody pulp - that was awesome.
I wonder what the deal was between Tywin and Shae: Seriously, how on Earth did THAT happen?
Also, I'm assuming Jaime had some sort of plan in place when he helped out Tyrion, because Tywin was obviously gonna find out who was responsible...was he planning on murdering Tywin himself? With or without Cersei?
Great episode, Stannis you hero:D
So where would I have to start reading to go from the end of series 4? I can't wait a year.
I believe it was just the revelation that Tywin was as whorey as Tyrion. He never disapproved of Tyrion's whoring, just that he was so open about his negative traits. Not respectable conduct for a Lannister and whatnot.Quote:

Get the smurf out of here with your BOOK SPOILERS. They're doing more than you think they are. You have a whole own thread to duck around with your books :doublecolbert:
Anyway EVERYONE I LIKED SURVIVED. Arya did what I had wanted her to do since that braavos guy first left. The only thing that annoys me was that Cersei's head wasn't impaled on a dozen crossbow bolts.
Mirage I remember you saying you would stop watching if Tyrion got executed. How did you feel about how his plotline for this season was wrapped up?
Best parts -
Jon Snow picks up a cup and drinks from it, then coughs a bit
Some people have beards
I had beans and chopped tomatoes while watching
There's a horse
Possible improvements -
More ducks
A cat that talks with a well known actor's voice, maybe George Clooney or Jim Carrey
A man comes in and says to Daenerys if she would like to come over for a cup of tea, turns out he's actually a tea salesman
Turns out Jaime Lannister is actually a bee
Overview -
Kind of like an epilogue, as last episode was a huge crazy finale of a battle but this episode was more subdued, like a vicious dog that's on drugs.
Daenerys is my favourite character but her scenes have gotten more and more boring and they are moving along at a snail's pace. I felt like crying when she chained the dragons up.
I liked the episode a lot. It will be a long wait now. I'll have to watch Homeward Bound 2: Lost In San Francisco every day until the fifth season comes on.
We're forgetting the most important part.
SMURFING SKELETONS! MORE OF THAT PLEASE!
Extremely satisfied. I was at the edge of my seat watching it.Quote:

Sometime I like looking back on the very first episode. It's so nice seeing all the Starks in one place (and alive).
Great episode!
The wall part was good, though I would rather have seen them progress a bit further with that story instead of saying goodbye to Ygritte a second time and that.
The Daenerys parts are definitely starting to drag on, but at the same they almost always tell a very important part of her story. I imagine they can only hurry her story so much without putting her out of sync with the rest of the world, too.
Bran's part was great. Kinda wish they would've stuck to more semi-decayed humans rather than skeletons for the wights, and I would have loved to see the Three-Eyed Raven more tree-like and interwoven with the branches, but those are minor nitpicks.
Brienne vs. Sandor was an AWESOME fight! I didn't see it coming either, and I didn't know who to root for (though I had an inkling how they'd tie it together with the book story), and dat choreography! One of my favourite fight scenes from the show so far, I think. I liked the scene after between Arya and Sandor, too. Say what you will about Arya's story so far, but she has some of most interesting character development in the show. That was a pretty damn cold move.
Tyrion's part was everything I wanted from it, really. Sure, I could nitpick here too, but overall I think they did this incredibly well. As some others have mentioned, I'm also curious what they'll do with Tyrion's character from now on, considering the parts they left out. Curious in an excited way, though!
I'm not bothered by them leaving the book spoilerLady Stoneheart scene for later. I was expecting them to squeeze it in, and it would have been a cool scene to end on, but the episode was action-packed enough. Arya's scene was a nice note to end on.
I forgot about the way they had the wights before in Season One. I don't think it would be much of a stretch to have both. We don't know how long those bodies has been buried in the snow and that is ultimately what happens to a corpse. The wights we've seen before wasn't dead for that long unless there's something I'm forgetting.
Tywin be like:
sittin' on da toilet
http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2...Tha_Toilet.jpg
Man that was a great episode.
The saddest part was the dragons in chains :whimper:
My only and single issue with this episode is that there was so much of it that was good that I just wanted more and more and more. Every aspect of it was superb and satisfying and it feels nice to just get a brief respite from everything in plot terms as several plots have reached a conclusion and new ones are starting up in their wake.
Book SpoilersI am surprised that Lady Stoneheart wasn't revealed because it seemed like the really obvious time to do it but then again this episode had Children of the Forest with actual fireballs and The Hound and Brienne fighting and Tywin on the privy and oh man.
*looks at sig* Mister Adequate, were those your skeletons that attacked Bran? :mymelbert:
I'm not so much concerned about that, I just always find skeletons to make for pretty silly-looking and immersion-breaking enemies. I can't really take them seriously.Quote:

Dear book people: You know why the show creators didn't put in the scene you were expecting? Because you were expecting it. You overhyped the trout out of it too. Knock that trout off. It makes complete sense to push that scene back since big spoilerLady Stoneheart doesn't do trout for a good long time after being revealed. Shut your smurfing faceholes about it.
I am concerned, though, about the way they trimmed the scene between Tyrion and Jaime. They were supposed to have a conversation that was very significant for the development of both of their characters, and now that Tywin's dead and Tyrion's on a ship I don't know how they'll make up for it. Click if you want to know what was missing.Tyrion's motivation in the next season should be finding Tysha, his wife from when he was young, after Jaime confesses she really wasn't a whore. Tyrion asks Tywin about it while he's on the pooper and want to know where she is, to which Tywin tells her "Wherever whores go," which motivates Tyrion to search for her. Out of anger over Jaime's confession, Tyrion tells Jaime that Cersei's been sleeping around, after Jaime has been faithful to her all this time. I really love Jaime and Tyrion's relationship; it's makes Jaime so complex to be the kind of guy who pushes children out of windows but loves his baby brother.
Also, the re-characterization of Shae made her murder really, really dark. In the books she was just some stupid whore who deserved to be choked to death.
I'm not complaining about the changes; just noting them.
I thought they did a fabulous job overall though. I love that they dragged out Arya and the Hound's adventures and added an interaction with Brienne; it was really great. I was looking forward to Arya's next adventure for a long time, but she really did need to have her storyline drawn out a bit longer, and adding more Hound was a great choice.
And I just loved Cersei this episode. She may be a bumblesmurf when it comes to wanting and having power, but as a mother she does not smurf around.
Great season ending!
Tyrions part was great. i know some spoilers but they didnt happen yet, like i expected they would...
makes it even more exciting!
Putting this in a spoiler because I have little faith in my memory don't click unless you clicked Shlup's spoiler alreadyDidn't Tyrion mention Cersei sleeping around when they were talking in his cell a few episodes prior?Quote:

I wasn't expecting Jojen to be going anywhere just yet! I feel like Bran's story has just jumped ahead of most of the others. What are they going to do with him next season?
Tyrion's scene was great but (SPOILER)what now? What is going to be Tyrions driver next season? How is Jaime going to grow to hate Cersei? Interested to see where that is headed
When Stannis arrived at the wall? Awesome!
And you know what more spoilers, sorry :(let me be disappointed at the no lady stoneheart! It would have just made the perfect episode even more perfect. Don't get me wrong, I'm not devastated! I just hope they haven't cut her entirely as she plays a pretty big role - the reintroduction of Gendry (he has to be more!) Brienne, Pod, Jaime?
I agree with the Hound.Quote:

I've read most of the stuff that was revealed in this episode along with what most people are up in arms about being missing. There were two things I felt they would possibly do in this episode at most after the previous episode, which to be honest I felt was better than this one. The first thing I thought they would do is Tyrion's escape (and Tywin's death) which they did. The second thing was Stannis arriving at the Wall, which they did. What I didn't expect was both, although I did kind of think they might - I just thought they would save one of these things for the first episode of next season, much like Joffrey's death was saved for the first episode of this season. I never thought they would show Arya hopping on a boat, nor did I think they would show the other thing everyone has mentioned (that they didn't show). It just didn't seem like the right time - these two other things were much more immediate given the last couple of episodes and I felt they had to be done more than anything.
Personally, going by my perspective and the amount of shock from Danielle about each thing unravelled during the show, I think Stannis' arrival would have been the perfect sendoff for this season because it was the most surprising development for those people following the series. Danielle rattled off a bunch of people she thought it could be when the army arrived but didn't mention Stannis. She loved that. And the size of his army! Amazing. Tywin's death was not done nearly as well and Arya's boathopping wasn't nearly as impacting as most of the ends of episodes this season. I don't think I've read the Bran stuff, though, so that'll be neat to catch up on.
Looking forward to reading up on what happens next in the book, because it's caught up with around where I am for a bunch of the plotlines now.
Also, of all the things they left out, I was most surprised at what Shlup mentioned. That for me was such a massive development. It'll be interesting how they play that out, for sure.
Best episode this season? Probably the previous one, for me.
I less pissed off the longer the show's been aired, but I'm still disappointed.
Also, I think maybe they're speeding up Bran's story because Isaac Hempstead-Wright is growing up SO fast. The other Stark children are obviously getting older, but not to the extent he is. That's just a theory though, I dunno!
EDIT: Joffrey didn't die in the first episode. It was the third episode this season, I believe.
Like how Harry Potter or Ron Weasley overtook their character's ages in the movies and then was this weird man thing playing a school boy awkward :greenie:Quote:

Oh, I knew he was heading for the wall, I just didn't think it would be anything close to that fast. It was one of the few things to really surprise me in the books, while things like Tywin's death were pretty much "oh, another major player died, whaddyaknow" - it was more "interesting" than "oh, wow!" like Stannis' arrival was. For me, anyway!
Danielle initially thought it was the Whitewalkers, then she thought it was random Stark supporters. Essentially you always expect the nearby people to be there first rather than those who were, last we saw them, the furthest away. But then, chronology is always a bit weird in the books/show.
EDIT: And you're right, Jinx, my bad. Still, a good example of the most impacting things not always needing to be the last things in the season - hell, what did we get last time? Snow climbing the wall or something? Psssssshhhhhhhhh. I guess it's similar this time around with Arya and the boat. Just a whole "oh, there's something new on the horizon!" kind of feel. Which probably works really well if you were to marathon this stuff.
On a sidenote: Marathoning GoT. Oh man. I look forward to being able to do this someday.
I am disappoint, son.Quote:

I hate to say it, and I'm probably going to get blasted for it, but I'm beginning to get bored with this show now. It's all becoming really predictable.
I don't know, this season felt like a whole lot of nothing. I mean a lot actually happened, but none of it really felt truly impacting to me - this season really hasn't had the "omg I can't wait to go home to watch it tonight" vibe that the previous seasons did. There were some deaths, but the majority of them - Oberyn excluded - I saw coming from a mile off. I honestly would've been more shocked if Tyrion had actually been hanged. With Ned Stark I was second guessing right up until the end, but Tyrion I never truly felt like he was going to actually get executed at any point. As soon as Jamie freed him, I knew exactly what Tyrion would go and do.
Like honestly the biggest surprise to me of this entire episode was the little girl with fireballs. I will admit I was actually torn over who I'd want to win out of Brienne and the Hound though.
It just feels like it's all being spread thin, and diluted with the same plot devices just being used over and over. There's just so much going on now that it's lost the compelling complexity that made the first 3 seasons great to watch. I guess it just felt like a whole lot of "going through the motions" this season, I hope next season makes up for it because a lot of pieces have certainly been put into position.
Maybe this will be the type of season, that in a repeat viewing 8 years from now when I innevitably watch old tv shows again, I'll probably appreciate a lot more... but nothing has hooked me at the moment, and I'm pretty blasé about the prospect of season 5 as a result.
As an aside, the best part of that entire episode was the children's choir version of the main theme at the end.
That's how I felt about the finale as well. A bit...lackluster. I wouldn't say predictable...but I knew what was going to happen pretty much. Before you say that's the definition of predictable I'd say they could have made me not know for sure if Tyrion would kill Shae or Tywin, but once he got that crossbow and him just seeing her it was pretty clear was going to happen.Quote:

Best part of the episode was freakin Melisandre staring at Jon Snow through the smoke. Freakin bad ass. "There's is King's Blood in him...Oh R'hollor's gonna love this shieet. Oh yeaahhh. King's Blood, omg...ahhhh." And of course Stannis coming in, unexpected but also expected by this point lol.
I have no idea what's going on in Bran's story. I was like wat the whole time. Hodor-battles (is there a proper name for this?) are as awesome as always though.
And Dany's story couldn't have been more unfulfilling.
Jojen needed to stop warging it so much and hit the gym.
I kept my sig the ENTIRE season, unlike SOME people around here *stares intently*.Quote:

But with no build up people will be confused about it all.
Also I am still excited about stannis the mannis.

Obviously your taste is your taste, but I have a hard time understanding how people think it wasn't a hugely impactful and crazy season. Dany's story (much as I love her) was fairly slow this season, and we didn't see much of Varys, but aside from that trout has gone completely berserk. The wildling armies attacked The Wall, were repulsed, and have been crushed by Stannis. Stannis got a new army and took it north to defeat Mance Rayder, which he did with very few casualties. Joffrey died, Tommen took the throne, and now Tywin is dead, which makes Cersei the power behind the throne. Sansa escaped from King's Landing and has gone pro. Littlefinger is now basically in charge of the Vale. Roose has largely secured the North. Bran's reached some crazy-ass place with full on skellies and fireball magic. Tyrion's trial, both in court and by combat, was absolutely amazing television. Qyburn's up to something seriously messed up with The Mountain (Pycelle isn't one to go against Cersei without good reason).Quote:

I'm curious about how the book goes about that in that case, because Pike and I both entirely felt she was just a stupid backstabbing whore who deserved to be choked to death.Quote:

Now that we have actually seen the episode I don't think it would have been as good an inclusion as previous assumed, because the tone of this was clearly one of settling a lot of plotlines and setting up their successors, but many of these were concrete enough settlements with obvious causes and guessable consequences. e.g. Tywin is dead, Tyrion is fleeing, Bran has reached the three-eyed raven, the wildlings are decapitated, etc.. and some even halfway satisfying situations, like Arya going to Braavos. Throwing in the big reveal would have been against the tone of the episode, I think, so despite my admitted surprise I reckon they made the right choice.
Best finale so far, and maybe the best episode. It brought a satisfying conclusion to every storyline and opened the door to new adventures. Can't wait for the TyrionxVarys adventures!
Re: the "missing" scene: I count two people complaining about it being missing (and one expressing mild disappointment), and at least four people yelling at "everyone", or "you lot", to stop complaining about it. xD
Don't include me in the yelling, I wasn't yelling :colbert:

"Tyrion's totally going to get busted out and kill his father") most of these actually happened, and that broke my immersion a lot in the show - that these big pivotal moments were something I actually called weeks beforehand with flippant jokes.Quote:

Looking forward to next season:
- Arya's adventures in Braavos.
- Tyrion & Varys adventures in wherever the hell they are going.
- What the hell Stannis is up to at the Wall.
- Cersei making a royal muckup of King's Landing without Tywin, Tyrion, or Varys there to keep her reigned in.
King's Landing, and by extension Westeros, just lost it's three most sensible people in one episode. I hope that has dire consequences.
Ah, see, I felt that that's exactly how it was in the show as well - she had no or barely any affection for Tyrion and betrayed him at best because he was selfish enough to want her to be safe.Quote:

She would get upset when he didn't spend time with her, got jealous about him and Sansa. They felt like they were in an actual relationship to me.Quote:

Merging the two creates whole new levels of intrigue and character interaction. A common criticism of GoT is that it has too many different storylines and only 5 minutes of each gets shown per episode - merging two certainly helps with that.
Also as a character it shows you Stannis's worth. The Night's Watch calls for help and nobody else cares - they even laugh at them - even though the White Walkers are the true threat to the realm, even bigger than Danaerys. Not Stannis. He could've made another attack on King's Landing with his new army but instead he's putting his ambitions to one side to save the realm. A true smurfing King.
I dunno. I can't say for sure. When I first saw her speak at the trial I think I thought it could be out of self preservation just as much as it was revenge, or a combination of both. It's just in this final episode that I started thinking she might have been really mad at him for reals.Quote:

Can someone explain to me how Stannis' story is deviating/combining with other things from the book? I can't remember...thanks! :)
One thing that was missing from this season (as a whole, not the finale!): Rickon Stark.
Fine that we didn't see him this season, but they could have at least mentioned him a few times.
I watch the show with non-book readers and a few times they've been like 'who the crap is that?' when somebody turns up again when they haven't been seen or even mentioned for ages. It's a complex story with a ton of characters! And seeing that Rickon hasn't played a huge part of the story so far and wouldn't necessarily be remembered automatically; it would be nice to remind people that he is also a living Stark (well, as far as we know - as he went off with Osha)
be happy with that, becaus my bf cant even name the main characters :PQuote:

Supposedly in the commentary for season 3, GRRM says book-Shae was 100% after money/status and never cared for Tyrion, whereas show-Shae did care for him to some degree. I don't know if he really says that, I just read it somewhere. We don't know her motives for sure, and her feelings are probably not 100% black and white, which is why this story is so good.Quote:
"Some of the other characters, Sibel Kekelli's version of Shae, TV Shae, is very different from book Shae. I've come to, initially I didn't like it very much, but then I came to particularly in the episodes late in the second season, really like TV Shae, but there's no question of that having any influence on future portrayals (I won't say more than that), so that's just a question of which version you like better. But certainly, they're two different characters."[2]
And nothing of value was lost.Quote:

I wish Arya & The Hound would have combined with Brienne & Pod permanently and they could have foursome adventures!
I do remember that, Dr. Unne!
King's Landing has never really been just one storyline - you'd have several different character interactions going on in each episode. With Tyrion, Tywin, Shae, Sansa, Bronn, Pod, Joffrey, Littlefinger, Oberyn and Varys all departing for one reason or another there should be less emphasis on that area now anyway.
They might have if she didn't have that sword. They're getting closer to the Eyrie. I wonder how they'll interact with Littlefinger and Sansa if they meet.Quote:

Not complaining or anything, I just saw this on Facebook today and thought it was funny:
Attachment 57416
I really don't get why they cut that. It's going to completely gut Tyrion's motivations for his actions over the next two seasons. The number of time he obsesses over Tywin's "Wherever whores go" line in his internal monologue in Dance numbers in the double digits.
As I've seen around the internet (and could figure out on my own) it's mostly because Tysha hasn't been mentioned since what, season 2? Season 1? Show-only people might have a hard time remembering who she is.
I'm not justifying the cut, just what seems to be the consensus on WHY it was cut.
I'm really happy they had the balls to kill off Shae.
I agree, Jinx. The books tell you what people are thinking, the TV show doesn't. The Tysha thing in the book is entirely in Tyrion's mind and it would be hard to convey on the TV show. The show already has so many characters, I'm shocked people who haven't read the book can keep up. Each character gets barely a couple minutes of screentime each week to tell their story. They've done a lot of combining characters and plotlines together probably in an effort to keep things simple, and I think it's worked well so far.
It's not all in his mind. He asks it of enough people for it to be apparent that it's something he is fixated on. It would have been feasible to keep within the show. They've managed to take an overwhelming amount of liberties so far, and could have written it in to be appropriately fitting in one way or another.Quote:

It could simply be that the producers know something we don't and perhaps the revelation doesn't have an impact on the end-story. With everything else they're going to want to put on screen with that storyline, it may have been an unnecessary distraction.
Not to be petty, but here's a list off the top of my head, and I'm sure there are a myriad of others out there on the internet xDQuote:

Jon had already been elected Commander by the time Stannis reached the Wall
and now the omission of Tysha and "where do whores go" with Tywin's death
House of the Undying
Overall, sure, the plot has basic consistencies, but many liberties have been taken.
I guess we have different definitions of liberties.
Perhaps we do!
Oh, Shorty! Add the House of the Undying to your list! :D
I'm happy with how they've handled the book-to-show conversion so far, so I'll definitely hold off on judging the decision to leave out Tysha until I see what comes of it.
Yeah, I'm thinking if Tyrion ever finds Tysha in the books, I'll be very surprised now.Quote:

They've taken huge liberties with Daenarys's story the most to try to make it less trout and boring.
Season 2 was the biggest one. Nobody stole her dragons, there was no mass Qarth master murder, she did not lock Xaro Xhoan Daxos (who was white as hell xD) and Doreah (who randomly dies in the desert of some disease) in a vault. Xaro hits on her, she says no, so he eventually bores of trying to woo her and tells her to gtfo his house.
I didn't mention it before but I was chuckling like a mothersmurfer when Jon suggested that Stannis burn the bodies. Like duh mothersmurfer Stannis burns everything that's his jam. He's blessed by it and trout. So even though I think Stannis is a bit of a knob sometimes (thank smurf for Davos ey) I am hedging all of my bets on him smurfing over the White Walkers.

I got Littlefinger at 75% and then 65% for Jaime and Tyrion. Pleased with those three!
I was least like Dany, Joffrey and King Robert. Two of those I'm happy enough about xD King Robert is smurfing awesome though.
85% Khal Drogo, apparently. Ned Stark and Jaime Lannister took second and third, with 80% and 75% respectively. 70% Daenerys Targaryen, though, and 40% Joffrey. xD
You were the Joffrey to Steve's Sansa.
lol
Eddard Stark 70%
Petyr Baelish 50%
Jaimie lannister 40%
Khal Drogo 35%
Robert Baratheon 35%

Some speculation on season five casting information (one of my facebook friends said this; I'm not sure if she wants to be identified):
(SPOILER)Quote:
Game of Thrones speculation: Wait what if they're merging Ellaria and Arianne's roles, so it's Ellaria plotting elaborate revenge and they get to keep the actress (whom I love) rather than introducing a new character.
That would make Quentyn the heir to Dorne as the eldest legitimate child of any gender, but Dorne could keep primogeniture and the Myrcella plot still works and it's not a horrible disservice to the awesome female characters. /reading too much into casting information
I sincerely hope this is what they're doing. Anything else would be pretty close to unforgivable.
Also:

At this point, I am actually hoping for drastic changes from the novel because the outrage from book readers is just too delicious.
Whether or not we're outraged depends entirely on the quality of the changes. Everyone's been really happy with the changes to Arya's storyline, for example.
Even if the changes are bad, it is hilarious how some people (not particularly members of this forum) overreact to the changes.
