Stannis answered the call from last season that was sent to everyone. Davos seemed really concerned about it, so he must have talked him into it. I just don't know how the fuck they got there so fast.
Felt bad for Varys when he realized he couldn't go back lol
Daenerys becomes even more despicable...
Arya finally gonna become a badass. Though, I wish she had gone with Brienne who could have been the perfect role model.
Wonder who the new hand is gonna be. Female hand Granny Tyrell?
I can't think of any good candidates off the top of my head. Maybe Littlefinger comes back and he gets the job? That would suck so hard.

Is "Bran flying" just going to be Bran mind melding with, and controlling, the black dragon?

Brienne has another oath to keep. Her besting the hound led me to believe sooner or later she will avenge Renly and be the one to take out Stannis. Probably when we start liking the guy knowing how this show is.
Gonna be awesome seeing Mutant Mountain fighting it out with Steampunk Cyborg Hound. I don't know if you guys saw it, but there really was a Grand Maester behind that rock. And he had a silver cog around his neck which means he specializes in robot magix!
She wasn't sticking by her family. She was looking out for her own interests. She just finally found an out. Or, at least, she stopped giving a fuck. She no longer cares about getting outed, but then that just means Stannis gets the throne and she's dead meat anyway...
That's what I was thinking he'd eventually do, but I think he just meant birds for now. Or maybe telekinesis!

Or maybe telekinesis!Or like real flying and the next season will be a 10 episode long fight between Bran and the God of Light or something. Or Darth Sansa.

is that... Dendi?
this could all be true, but there isn't much of a hint of it in the show.

Not everything need to be spelled out explicitly. You can reasonably deduce the rest from what was shown. By saying "they have no power inside the cave" implies that the power balance is different outside, and the wights were hidden under the snow so obviously whatever firebombs the Children had would not work.
I get that the show has a budget, but Stannis' appearance was somewhat anticlimactic. It felt like he was just storming the camp of a few bunch of boy-scouts. I never got the feeling that there are in actuality 100000(!) wildlings threatening the wall.

Skeleton fight outta nowhere. Jason and The Argonauts/Army of Darkness all up in mah Game of Thrones. Then the kid throwing magical grenades ....they went full fantasy.
Can't wait for next season. Pretty much every storyline took a left turn in that episode setting up season 5 nicely.

The ships thing always seems strange though because shouldn't the water up that far be ice? Completely ice? And as they said, they were completely underdressed. Any weather that's cold enough to keep that wall from even slightly ever melting is definitely going to make any oceans around it frozen too.
Am I wrong?
So maybe there's enough room around one or two of the sides of the Wall?
The Lord of the Light works in mysterious ways.
Why u don't havez monkey avatarz.Every plot line was entertaining
Except DanyI don't know how often we've seen her sitting on her throne talking to people and doing nothing really substantial. Well of course your black dragon isn't going to respect you

Oh man, when I saw this shot...
...I knew shit was going DOWN.
...I knew shit was going DOWN.
I think that was the best episode of the show so far. That was amazing! I'm hoping that Tyrion somehow meets up with Dany, because her storyline is the only one I don't find interesting now. Even if the Bran storyline does seem a little crazy, I'm glad something notable finally happened because I was getting really sick of seeing him walk north. But that fight with the skeletons was really intense. Another intense scene was the Brienne v. Hound fight, which could have gone a ton of different ways...I didn't know if Arya or Pod would intervene, couldn't guess who would die....it was nervewracking.
I had lost a lot of interest in the show at the start of this season, but now I'm fully invested again.

Those skeletons looked incredible too. Blockbuster quality.

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
Really surprised at all the hate for Dany in this thread, I always thought she'd be a popular character. She WILL be Queen of the Iron Throne mark my words! I've never read the books but that is my wish! And I hope it's with all 3 of her gorgeous dragons by her side (I have a bad feeling for the one that's still loose), that chaining scene tonight broke my heart </3

Was a great excellent finale to this series.
Am thinking of reading the books, but as I'm such a slow reader, was thinking of carrying on from where this season finishes. But I have read that it took stories from a few of the books.
Can anyone recommend which book I would need to start to carry on from now and not have to much overlap?

Everyone's gotten tired of waiting Dany to come to the plot so we're exporting the plot to her

I want to give a shit about Dany. But she's just.. There. Sure, she's doing things I guess. Taking over cities, freeing slaves, realizing that playing Sim City isn't as easy as she thought it would be. But for all this talk of her being the rightful queen, and how the throne will be hers, she's doing jack shit to make it happen right now. When it comes to her scenes I sit there waiting for something interesting, or something that matters to happen. I'm still waiting.

Looking forward to an Eye of the Tiger/discipline montage between Dany and Drogon in Season 5.
I don't know or care how the books went, but she has been handled horribly in the show. Everytime I see her I know 10 minutes of the episode will be wasted on nothing.
Im tired of hearing someone say her 50 word title, and I'm tired of even seeing her liberate some city after being underestimated. Im just tired of it. Its moving super slow while the other storylines are awesome. Its not that her character is bad. Its that its bad in contrast to all the interesting stuff happening elsewhere in Westeros.

No, the fact that she betrayed him, denied their entire relationship, framed him for murder and was the cause of Tyrion's (near) execution is why people say she "deserved" to die.

Loved how the ending song started right when Varys nopes his ass out of King's Landing. You just know the dominoes have started falling.
Astapor, Yunkai, Mereen. I don't think what went down in Qarth technically constitutes a 'liberation'.

just saw it. good finale, very solid
stannis finally did something \o/
mance was a big build up for such a polite surrender. nevermind. i enjoyed the arc's completion (so far).
bran's arc had more action this time. skellies! hodor! summer good night, sweet jojen.
cersei is sure quite a tilted woman.
brienne vs the hound was intense >___< all that punches in those steel gauntlets >___< i was so ambivalent, i couldnt root for either of them aaaah. will someone rezz the hound, im going to miss him and all of his weird, dry humour...
arya is very pretty, cold but she sure is very pretty *___*
dany :< whhhyyyyyy... those two dragons didn't do naughties. why did she punish them. this is not a good positive reinforcement pet ownership hey
jaime delivered! oh man! i was so happy to see him came through for his brother :> i couldnt actually believe it, tbh. specially because of that small sweet moment where jaime hugged him and kissed his lil brother's hair, i was like, welp ;__; goodbye imp... i thought tyrion would be betrayed and killed at the brink of freedom or something. lol. but ... turned out he killed his father instead???? hahah... what a thing.
he looked so sad when he killed shae though. she was already laying still and he was still holding tightly, squeezing, crying ;__;
death at the toilet :x
good last scene at the end. the horizon. new continent. braavos, here we come !
in another year.
;___;
aaahhh. so glad tyrion didn't bite the dust... but now... the draught begins...

But he does though. It's a fantasy setting. If you enjoy it in spite of the setting, more power to you.

To the people whinging about Dany, if you've ever had to crate train a puppy, you know those feels.
What an amazing fucking finale. All the stories took a turn for the awesome. Fucking Stannis came outta know where and kicked ass. Dragons killing kids. Two assholes die. Mystical skeletons and trees and shit (RIP Jojen). And to cap it all off an amazing fight scene. Arya is now cold enough to train with Jaqen.
One of the best episodes of the show!
Now to spend another 30 weeks debating on whether to read the books or wait.

i has puppies. they were crate-trained and now they are properly house-broken. but if one of them makes a mistake, i dont punish the other one, cuz that's kind of derp. idk. they copy / learn from each other, dogs, or my dogs do anyway, so if the one that is displaying good behaviour is rewarded (i.e. not punished), the other one would pick up on the behaviour.
it was SUPER hard to watch Dany chain up those (imaginary) pets ;___;
and yeah, lol, sure, being a just ruler is not a walk in the park. what did she expect. silly dragonmama.
.... still at dany's camp though. for now :3

why did he have to leave???? somebody please explain.
This is how i saw that scene
No one talking about how badass Varys is. I knew he wouldn't betray Tyrion. His testimony during Tyrion's trial left me bitter but he came through at the end
Varys knows every corner and hidden passageway of the castle. Tywin's dead body close to Shae's and Tyrion missing from his cell all points to Tyrion killing Tywin and Varys helping him do it.

I LOVED this shot of the fireball being reflected in Jojen's eyes before it incinerates him...
He would likely be a high priority suspect in Tywin's murder.

Cuz the whole thing's gonna go to pieces, and he can't control it anymore. Varys, unlike Baelish, dislikes chaos (he's pretty much Littlefinger's opposite in this respect).
Also because Tyrion's escape links him to Tywin's murder.
You can see his eyes beginning to turn blue right before it hits.
