A worthy distraction. All you poor souls who haven't gotten on the PD train need to make haste before the season finale.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:
Moar Night's King, white walkers, and wights, please.
Good for you. Enjoy your crate.Quote:

They normally don't want spoilers but such was the hatred, they wanted to know whether or not she would get what she has coming to her.Quote:

Last night I had a dream that Peter Dinklage came to my house dressed as Tyrion and I took all sorts of great photos of us posing together and then I put them on Facebook all :smug: and you guys were all impressed but then I woke up and this had not, in fact, occurred. :(
I don't think so... I remember what scene you're thinking of, I think, but it was a huge deal when it happened in the book.Quote:

She's really just a whore, so when he kills her he's killing the whore that betrayed him. When you murder someone who you were mutually in love with but had a falling out with, I think it's much darker of a murder.Quote:

Yeah I was just tired and grouchy with it last night. My main issue with this season is that a lot of the fleeting jokes I've made to colleagues about what I think is going to happen ("Joffrey totes gonna die at his wedding" and people were like no way man. "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:

But after sleeping on it and chatting over coffee at work this morning, it's grown on me again.
You clearly do not know the power of a dangerous sociopath with a long history of violence aka Carl the Llama.Quote:
