Wow. An utterly atrocious ending to one of the most boring seasons of television ever created. The wasted potential with this show is so, so painful.

I know right, what the fuck with all these people talking with character development and shit. Bring on the motherfuckin' dubstep action sequences. I want Tyrion riding that bear with a massive cock sword and some Knife Party strobe light shit.
why would he want to be rescued... I'd kill myself first chance I got.

Yes, and 4 hours of pointless torture scenes.
Look at Varys. Became a eunuch, and now one of the most powerful men in Westeros. Theon's wang was a demon he couldn't control (but didn't deserve to be rid of it). I'm very eager to see where his character goes now. He will be thinking with his mind than he did before from now on.
Lather on that hyperbole, you can never have too much of it.
Yeah, I hope something bad happens to her. Too many victories for Game of Thrones.

I couldn't agree more. What was once the compelling bright spot in an ever more grim world is now just cheesy and repetitive. Season took a huge nosedive this year
Thanks.
I fear Jorah will die...... D:
Yeah, kind of agree on that one. She's just marching along unchallenged.
Probably the "first man" statement went over their heads. Forgetting that she just excluded her first kill through coy speech since he wasnt a man yet.

How can you hate him!?
Lmfao, such a great gif.
good actor.
Yeah with Fabio there now I fear for his life too. Althougg maybe Jorah will find a way to get rid of Fabio.
It's kind of weird with my friends that I watch the show with they all love Danny, and cheer when she comes on scene, but I find her horribly boring. I hope for an untimely death for her.

I agree with Dany's storyline being lame this season. Actually it was last season too but I didn't expect much from her last season.
Maybe in 2-3 seasons. Remember that vision/dream in season 2 where she saw the throne room destroyed and covered in snow? A war happened, and I'm pretty sure she had something to do with it.
Plus the dragons gotta play a much larger role.
And yeah... don't trust this pretty boy.... huge mistake trusting a bunch of sell swords with loyalty.
You have to admit the scene where she burns Astapor was awesome.

What did you mean by this? Will there be new books that continue the story after the show is over? That would suck. I want complete resolution of everything, a glorious final season that wraps it all up.
Everything I hate about the Internet is in this post above.

I'm laughing way too hard at this gif. His fucking face. lmao
I laughed my ass off when Theon's sister read the letter saying he cried when they took away his favorite toy. I also hate Roose, but this other Bolton is a likable chap. Evil, but hilarious. I almost forgave Joffrey for his Season 1 shannanigans after his tantrum about not wanting to go to bed too.
They're starting to overplay Dany's freedom fighter arc a bit, which is getting annoying. The lone white woman saves the day again, swims in a sea of brown people chanting her name, hoisted upon their shoulders as their ruler and queen, the helpless saved only by her lily white hands. Her character is definitely going to get dissected in many a college classroom..
Can't wait for next season regardless of problems.

The books haven't been completed yet. It's entirely possible that the books and show end on similar, but different paths.
I don't know. George R.R. Martin would be playing a prominent role (I would think and hope) so I don't see them being too different.
I love the internet.

This episode felt like a follow up season beginner to me
As a finale this felt weak and it would have felt (obviously) much stronger to end the season with the red wedding
Jons GO HOOOME and Dannys "we are the world" moment was cringe worthy
Tywin is one of my favorite characters and Im glad to see him deliver in this episode
Bring it on S4!

Family before self-interest.
If it works for the Lannisters, it's going to work for the Greyjoys.
Stannis is screwed.
I get the feeling that no one but Stannis is going to send men to help the night's watch defend the wall. I don't really see the Lannisters or Tyrells giving a shit (let alone believing) about the letters sent out.
It was pretty hodortastic when Sam & Gilly met up with Bran & friends. The few characters of purest spirit lending a helping hand to each other.

lolol knew that shit would be gifed
I'm sure the Lannisters will only care if the others fail and the white walkers get closer to their land. Basically let people like Stannis destroy his own army by doing the right thing while they wait to see that it's an absolute necessity. Otherwise, their main threats only get weaker while they remain strong.
I actually think Stannis fighting at the wall will gain him A LOT of support from people all across Westeros. It's his chance to come out a hero and convince the people that he's going to do what's right and will protect his kingdom rather than save himself and his army. Maybe it can counter any negative feelings people might have about Melisandre.
With great risks come great rewards in this case.
Just watched the episode and I agree it was a little weak for a finale, but ending the season with the red wedding would have been unbearable.
Also I'm glad to see Arya is already becoming a hardened assassin. Watching her grow into a seasoned fighter exacting revenge on her family would be glorious. In fact a whole storyline with The Hound acting as her guardian and trainer would be really cool. I hope it continues well into the next season.

He's a sick bastard and I think he wants Theon to become dependent on him and be his "friend." So he sits around all day, probably talking to him, eating and drinking and probably fucking right where Theon can see. It's all a weird game to him. And he really doesn't have anything important to do. He's just some bastard, he can't inherit anything. His father's already taken care of getting them out of the war. So he just chills and messes with Theon.
I thought Ramsay was the heir to the Dreadfort, there's no way he can inherit as a bastard? That's what the letter sounded like at least. He certainly acts that way.
That would be dumb. It would explain Dany's dream in season 2 where winter breached the iron throne but I still can't believe they would do this.
A bastard can inherit their parent's legacy if they give permission.
Seems like Roose would totally let Ramsay inherit then. He's got all that spunk and flaying spirit that a true Bolton should have. They haven't mentioned any other legitimate sons (not that I'm aware of), so it seems like he'd be his choice for heir.
Remember, in season one when The Watch asked for more men because the dead were coming to life everyone except Tyrion laughed it off.

About that final song they played during Dany's Mhysa scene, can anyone understand the words? Were they English or Valyrian?
And it's even more believable that a lot of houselords would just shrug off Aemon's letter because the only evidence offered of an invasion from the winterlands is based off the word of one random dude (Sam). It seems like most people think white walkers are the stuff of myth at this point.
I laughed hard when this fucker popped up.
How can you hate him!?
This little bastard... Holly crap. As much as I'd like to see most of the people in that room pay for their crimes, Joffrey had me laughing with that goofy ass little kid in a candy store look.
The one change that would truly, deeply fuck this show in the ass is if they started filming 100% on backlots.
Who says they would have to do that?
Just two or three more episodes to allow the plot more breathing room. They don't even really have to add more scenes full of special effects and locations, just give us more of what they've got.
Either that, or cut some of the character arcs. I like the show, but I'm not going to sit here and pretend like the pacing and focus this season was anything to write home about. This show could be a much bigger deal than it is with tighter storytelling.
I laughed hard when this fucker popped up.
How can you hate him!?
Well acted, lol. He is hilarious in this episode for that scene alone.

Pure gold. I'd expect nothing less from ol' Joff.
Yep, but this is always the problem with this show in particular, and other shows that have so few episodes to a season.
10 is rough, it makes for some eventful episodes sure, but goddamn....
