hbo HBO's Game of Thrones

[Rappy Veteran]

Just watched it all the way through, was so good!

I loved the Hound/Brienne fight, there was a nut shot and then a ###### punt :|

After episode 8, I was scared they were still keeping an even bigger shock for the season finale.

Fortunately, it was an episode full of closure and I'm really happy with it.

I enjoyed the finale, I did unfortunately stumble upon spoilers about the person everyone thought WAS going to be in the finale but was not.

 

After this episode, Arya is not longer my favourite character.. too much of a bitch.

 

Also I thought the magic faraway tree ultra-fantasy garbage with Bran was too much of a shark-jump, Fireball fairies and animated skeltons?  I realise it would be in the books though.

 

The obviously soon-to-be Zombie Mountain may be an interesting addition to season 5.

Liked the ending a lot. Was hpping to see more things regarding dragons or at least something about the black one

Finally watched the finale last night. I liked the fight between Brienne and The Hound, though I don't like that The Hound lost and is probably dead. Arya and The Hound relationship was my favorite thing to watch this season, so it sucks that it's over for good. The Hound's monologue after the fight was pretty great too. I think it showed a lot of depth to his character.

 

I really want to love the fact that Arya is on a boat to Bravos, because I'd like that to mean she's trying to find the faceless men and become one of them; which would mean some sweet training sequences and her first "kills" and all that. But knowing how this show tends to never do traditional things, I'm sure her story line will disappoint in some way next season.

 

The Bran scene was a more fantasy than I was expecting, but I thought the CGI skeletons were amazing. They actually gave me a really creepy, intense vibe which never happens when I'm watching high-fantasy stuff like that. I also have no idea what the hell the deal is with the tree, the fairies, the roots guy, and the whole "recover what you lost" nonsense. I hope it's good. That kind of stuff can be either really awesome, or really lame.

 

All of the Tyrion scenes were pretty good, as usual.

I'm sorry but this story line with Bran seems like a completely different book. 

[episode]

The confrontation between Cersi and Tywin was out of nowhere and quite abbreviated as well... rushed. 

 

This scene does not appear in the books in any way shape or form.

The Hound was always one of my favorites, but the show version took it to another level. "At least I'd have one happy memory" -- so ######ing tragic :(

Yeah towards the end I liked him

[episode]

There's no way he's dead.

There's no way he's dead.

 

I haven't read the books, but I thought the same thing; "I didn't see him die, we will meet again!".

He's dead.

[Luc2k]

He's dead.

Or is he?

[Syanide]

There's no way he's dead.

 

I'd like to think so, but the fact of the matter is, the only clue about him surviving comes from Brienne. So there's no way they'll meet again, which means he's either dead for good, or Brienne isn't going to be around the next time we see him.

I've read the books, and we don't know. 

 

The last scene he's in is much different (she leaves him near the trident shortly after the fight at the inn) but its left basically the same way.

Hmm, I'm not getting any closure. I like the Hound, lately, but I don't get attached to any character for obvious reasons.

[Rappy Veteran]

I remember reading an article that said The Hound was on one of the casualties in the finale so yeah I would say he just died up there

In the books there is a character that is strongly believed to be him, but we don't know for sure.

Oh right, that would be cool

Game of Thrones series four might have come to an end just days ago, but showrunners Dan Weiss and David Benioff are already talking season five.

The pair, who know what's to come in Westeros right up until George RR Martin's epic conclusion, have shared some very illuminating thoughts with Entertainment Weekly.

Here's what they've revealed about series five....

1. We are heading to the Red Viper's homeland. "There will be Dorne, and we?re excited about it," the showrunners said. "Who wouldn?t want to hang out in Dorne? They have admirable values and priorities. And have you seen Oberyn?s coat?"

2. Littlefinger is aiming for the Iron Throne. "He wants everything. He wants to sit on that throne. By necessity, his path there will be twisted and indirect. But everything he does in some way points to that goal."

3. Varys' motivations will be revealed. "He throws away the entire life he?s built for himself in King?s Landing to save Tyrion?s life. 'Now what?' will become eminently clear in season 5."

4. The fantasy elements are going up a gear. "The White Walkers aren?t going away. The dragons aren?t getting any smaller. Melisandre?s still sorceressing, the giants are more ###### than ever."

5. Westeros is getting smaller. "It?s been an expanding universe and will now start to contract. Which doesn?t mean we won?t meet any new characters in season 5, because we will. But it?s going to start to shrink for sure.

6. There will be more deaths. Obviously. "There are some characters who will die that I won?t think people will predict. And as George has said, we?re killing off more characters than in the books and will continue to do so."

2. As if that wasn't obvious since the first season.

4. The dragons won't do much unless they intend to cover both books in the next season. As for the White Walkers, looks like they're going for the good ol' "pulling scenes out of our asses" approach.

5. Makes no sense.

6. You're not technically killing more characters, just different ones.

I just finished up the season yesterday and OMG. So excited for season 5. I really wish they did more than one a year.
