Let&#...I've been trying not to think about it. Let's just look forward to next season and pretend the season ended with episode 9. Not like much was accomplished in the finale anyway. <br /><br />Suppose there's Dexter's series ending season coming up to "look forward to." Haven't been crazy about Dexter since the John Lithgow season (should have ended there) but will see how they end it all.

I imagined this huge bulky creep with long brown hair and no sense of humor, and show Ramsay is a little more flamboyant. I don't dislike it, but it's very different. I wonder if they'll include his "hunting trips?"<br /><br />I so want to punch Roose Bolton in that picture you chose.<br /><br />The more I think about this finale, the most disappointed I get as well. I didn't mind it at first, just a few gripes about the story telling, but it gets weaker after another re-watch.Brittani Burnhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07975067259283007280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3502147034902892828.post-58798186549882980142013-06-10T18:31:22.746-04:002013-06-10T18:31:22.746-04:00I was actually ok with leaving Lady Stoneheart out...I was actually ok with leaving Lady Stoneheart out of the ending. I like letting the Red Wedding simmer, letting those who haven't read the books stew in it. <br /><br />But even thinking in terms of a non-reader, the episode was just the filler of organizing the loose ends for next season. If we're talking shoulda/woulda/coulda's, and if we are just throwing the original timeline out the window anyway, I'd prefer at least a minor event (Balon and the bridge?) that would have a quasi-cliffhanger feel. <br /><br />I suppose the campiness of the Mhysa scene didn't help.Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11311913845542508413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3502147034902892828.post-80914285750710246102013-06-10T18:12:32.401-04:002013-06-10T18:12:32.401-04:00I hated that episode.

Worst GoT episode for me - from the moronic and usless Varys/Shae and Ygritte/Jon scene through awful ending (how the hell did they not end with resurrection?) to Jaime being in KL already for no reason at all. s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.com
