Anyway, as far as battle episodes go, that's pretty much the gold standard for tv shows from here on out. I mean you can still tell where they were numbers deprived, and where they cut corners, but considering the scale of it all, it was a great way to deliver this climax.
Best moments:
1. Damn that Green Wildfire Explosion was ace. Reminds me of how comparably fucking awful the finale explosion of Walking Dead Season 1 was.
2. "Oh fuck me." Tyrion really pulled off the performance of the episode, no doubt.
3. Hound/Sansa scene.
sigh, if only every episode had such a budget

Yes. Their houses are allied now that Renly is dead.

Peter Dinklage is a great actor but I don't think he's that dedicated.
Overall, amazing episode. I feel like the finale is just going to tie up some ends from next episode, i'm not expecting anything amazing, but then again i didn't expect season 1 episode 9 to go the same either :lol.
This fuckin show, and the fact that this episode was written by Martin shows how well he adapts his own writings to television.
Fucking great episode HNNG.

I still love how Martin wrote books instead of TV because he wouldn't be able to do things like this on TV. Welp!
Admit it, you liked the episode.

Tommen, second son after Joffrey.
yeah, i expected the type of CG work it would take to make it look like Dinklage's nose was plausibly gone was not worth the cost (and regular makeup would not work for this purpose, I don't think so), considering a grave facial scar would effectively do the same thing... make him uglier

Amazing episode.
Among the best in the series, easily.
Goddamn @ the wildfire scene.

If the next episode does the house of the undying justice it will be pretty damn good.
Haha, my roommate is freaking out.

I thought this was an amazing battle. Kinda wish they made it more obvious that Loras was supposed to be Renly, but that's just a minor complaint.
Also I love Pod. Hope we get to see more of him.

WHAT THE FUCK!? IS TYRION DEAD!? DON'T TELL ME!

I thought it was some kind of flashback or some shit. Is it another kid? Or just a figurative depiction of what a baby the king is?
Also, is Tyrion dead or what? At first it was just a cheek cut, fine, but then the other side bled... was his head cut in half just like that other guy?

Loved it, but Rome still holds the title for best battle on tv.

That's her other son, Tommen.

Even though I've been spoiled on later events, I was afraid that slash had cut right through his head.
He was slashed across the face by a sword, so I can imagine he was hit with some decent amount of force. I would think he's only knocked out by it, and not killed by such a wound.
And that was Cersei's son on her lap. He's been seen a number of times throughout the seasons.
Edit: So Stannis is done in just like that? I expect an execution during the next episode, I suppose
The gore was a little LOL. The head split, the bodies being sliced literally in half, the rock to the skull. Still, I don't mind gore.
I'm confused. You know about the Renly impersonation, but not the outcome of Tyrion? Or did you just notice the Renly armor?
But anyway, it is Garlan the Gallant who is supposed to impersonate Renly Baratheon.
Er, I should have put that in quotes, that was my roommate screaming. I've read the books, well at least I'm halfway through ADWD. I know it's supposed to be Garlan but I figured like everyone else did that it was going to be Loras.

so where did um stannis go?
And this wouldn't be the first time they axe a character on the show.

He has no claim to the throne.
I suppose he could just take the throne by force, but that may not lie within his interests.
