Don't be tempted Remove this ad I love that both Tyrion and Jaime, smartasses galore, lose their balls when Tywin is around. He's the ice man. Love it. I thought last night was fabulous, and I actually appreciated that they didn't have the same kind of ending as the last couple of episodes. Those kinds of BAM endings lose their power if they always happen, you know? And I suspect next week's ending is going to blow every other one out of the water. Ser Barristan was the shit. He's too good to throw away the rest of his life on those fucks. They fire him, fuck them, he's going to move on. I won't spoil what happens with him, but it won't be the last you see of Ser Barristan. I loved the Hill tribes, and Bronn's lines. Naked Hodor entrance is straight out of the book. Suck it up. Syrio's last stand always breaks my heart.

But in this story, it seems like that kind of morality is completely unimportant. This is a new kind of production for me and I have to admit I really don't understand why that is happening. Thank God for non-hollywood endings, besides, there are 5 books to this series, and though I've only read 1 3/4, whose to say that Joffrey doesn't die a horrible death eventually? Shagnanigans, I really can't wait for the next two eps, I wonder if the main 2 events I'm thinking of will be both in the last ep, or one for each ep.

All the intrigue and underhanded scheming between the main families is devilishly delicious. So much like a chess game where everyone is trying to place their pieces in the right positions before showing their hand... how some schemes seem to fall into place while others fizzle almost immediately. All of this while seemingly unaware of the horde gathering in the south or the primeval force awakening in the north... The line that stuck out most to me was from Osha saying that everyone is bickering amongst themselves when they should be joining forces against what's coming from beyond the Wall. Makes me very anxious to see more... Dammit! Part of me wishes I didn't get into this show until after it ended so I can just buy the DVD set and watch it straight through... Hate waiting week after week

I think a teeny bit of book 2 is making its way into the last episode, so I'm not sure how the final major events will play out timewise, but the Ned part will definitely be next week, given the episode title.

You've got "that" Dany scene and "the" Robb scene and you think it is ending and then it cuts to Stannis brooding over the painted table- looking down at the "game" we've been watching all season. That's how I'd end this season.

You're right, I just looked up the eppy title. Sloansalad, can you refresh my memory on the Robb scene? I'm deep into book 2 and I can really remember when 1 ended and 2 started.

I'm holding out hope to see him again - this series is pretty upfront about showing death scenes. His is ambivalent, with its "Not today" comment. I'm hoping that off-screen he whipped out a Swiss Army knife, filed down the armor of those Lannister goons, and then killed each with the death of a thousand pen knife cuts.

So amazing the amount of "they can't show that on television" moments. It is also refreshing to see people you like dying and people you hate doing well. Odd that it would be revolutionary to have art that is somehwat comparable to life.

She has literally been on the run since. It seems appropriate that the reader see exactly as much as Arya saw for that particular scene and never a bit more. Soiling it with an offhand comment a book or two later in a Tyrion or Sansa chapter about Syrio's death or escape would somehow ruin an appropriate ending.

You've got the queen, acting ruler, a Lannister. her son, apparently not a legitimate heir to the Baratheon name, sitting on the throne, the product of a Lannister/Lannister coupling. The other Lannister of that coupling has just been promoted from one of the kingsguard to the leader of the kingsguard, and their father, a Lannister, warden of the west, has just been appointed Hand to the king. Their primary "foes" are either in chains (Ned Stark) or vanished in the night (King Robert's brother, Renly the Gay). They clearly have no interest in sharing power with anyone else. Barristan has shown himself to be level-headed and honorable. And capable. Exactly the kind of person who would be likely to protest violently to anything he considered morally wrong. Why would they want any "honorable" knights around at all, mucking thing up?

Bran was so thinking "Everyone here is fucking insane." Plus I love Bran, that adorable little cripple. Probably my favorite behind Tyrion and Dany.
