Hah I loved how they had Melisandre staring at Jon. I never really liked the Wall plot up until this point because I love Melisandre. Tyrion's escape was awesome even though they omitted some important dialogue but it's whatever. I think this was the best Thrones finale so far, since Ep 9 is when the crazy stuff happens.

Ah okay. And yeah, definitely prefer the way that the show handled the Hound's "end." I say that with quotation marks just because we literally went through this shit with his brother two episodes ago only to find out that he's being Frankensteined back to health. Arya just "leaving" him makes me think he's got a chance to come back somewhere down the line.

Man, I'm just happy that some stories are linking up finally! And you know me and Davos. Most underrated character ever. Love that dude. It's just cool having the Stannis army up at the wall, lol

Yeah, Gregor is already a freaking giant, imagine how deadly he'd be if he weren't alive/was enhance/etc. Isn't it perfect how that coin Arya's had since season 2 gets her to Braavos? I love it when characters meet. It's a shame Arya didn't trust Brienne. Davos is awesome. Didn't pay much attention to him until a little after he appeared, but he's a pretty cool dude.

Having Stannis at the wall could be dangerous though. The Wall is supposed to stay neutral in all affairs of the Seven Kingdoms. It could potentially look bad.

Well without him it would look extinct, so I'd say it's better he came than didn't.

And yeha, I mean after Jacqen gave her that damn coin, I KNEW she was going to use it, so it was just a matter of waiting until WHEN at that point. SO it kinda felt like everything in-between was just an interim period until that happened, so I'm glad it finally did.

Wasn't it great when Tyrion killed Shae? I never liked her.

I just can't get over how amazing Brienne vs. The Hound was. I knew who was going to win but at time I got scared and thought Brienne would die! The choreography was great.

Yeah. Shae was so annoying.

So, what do you think will happen now? Stannis at the wall, Tyrion out of Kings Landing, Tywin no longer pulling the strings, Drogon out of control, and Arya out of Westoros?

Arya's gonna train to be a faceless assassin. That was what Jacqen gave her the coin for, it's what she was inevitably going to do. Tyrion... I dunno. He's always been a big player before, but now he's on the "survival" side. His tale can really go anywhere, though if he's leaving Westeros he's probably headed to either the slave desert or to Braavos, so he may run into either Arya or

Danny/Barristan, or Daario or Jorah.

I would guess that Cersei is going to start being the puppetmaster now that Tywin is gone. Unless she's accused of killing him. Then... I dunno. But I don't see that as likely, since they'll see that Tyrion escaped the same night Tywin was killed.

Drogon out of control? Hey, he's just like Danny! I dunno. Not sure I care that much, either. The whole Danny story is just long, tedious and thus far irrelevant. I don't suspect a rogue dragon will change any of that.

Stannis... Stannis Stannis... I don't know. He might use his grip over the North as a power-play for the throne, but with Jon Snow warning him of the White Walkers, he might just go on a jihad at the wall, Fire God R'hllor against Icelord White Walkers.

I swore I replied to this ;_; If you had to guess which of those two places he was going to, which would you choose? Dany gets better, but I hated that she loved the slaves. Honestly, screw the slaves because they liked being slaves.

With Stannis, the wall barely has men and now he is indebted to the Iron Bank of Braavos, and they will collect their debt one way or another, so he would be smart to find out how to pay them back.

Probably the slave cities, since I feel like Arya and Tyrion being together just wouldn't happen. George isn't fond of putting his best cards in the same hand

True. I think watching Cersei in Kings Landing will be cool since she's so unpredictable. I'm still very disappointed with this finale, though. Season 4 would've been my favorite season but no. D&D just like to butcher the best finale ever that is literally given to them in writing.

lol

It was my favorite episode of the whole series so... *shrug*

Brienne vs. The Hound + Bran skeleton scene + Tyrion escape were all great, but it could've been even better. Eh. Roads not chosen. Might as well not dwell on it.

The only thing that could have made it better would be if Petyr cried "The is the Eyrie!" and then triumphantly kicked Sansa out the moon door.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
