Well I've been reading so many complaints and I get many of them, but I'm pleased that the show is wrapping up in the best way that they could to please most of the fans that didn't read the books. I decided when the show surpassed the books that I would not compare and complaint anymore, since I'm more frustrated with all this years of waiting for the 6th book. I also take into consideration the work and effort of cast and crew. I mean they filmed this episode during 37 nights at 14 degrees bellow, that's hard. As for the episode, just the show, no comparisons to books, I think that Arya was a good choice, since John would be too lame for my taste as the one killing off the NK. As for ending so fast, well they kept repeating for a while now that killing the king would do the trick, so I was expecting a sudden action. If he didn't fall as he did, all the characters would die, because there was no way that they could keep going longer. I didn't like what they did or didn't do with Ghost all this season. He came from nowhere in the beginning of this season and was running with Jorah in the battle to simply die in the dark? I also didn't like Sansa's behavior in the crypt. I know she is not a fighter, but children were dying there and she was hiding? I also didn't get Bran's actions, I mean how was he helping/seeing things during the battle? I hope we get to know more in the next episode. In the other hand, I liked the way that they killed Lyanna, Jorah and Theon. They also managed to keep me tense during all the episode, apart from the dragons flying in fog, that was very hard to see.

I really had a great time watching the show, specially with Jon and Mance and with Stannis arrival. After last season I decided to watch the series without compating all the time with the books and guess what, I really started enjoying the show. I agree with you regarding LSH, I think that it will fit better and even with more impact in next season, because for non book readers that are also a huge audience of the show, there was a lot of information already. My only complaints are the rush with Jamie/Tyrion scene, without Tyrion mentioning about Cersey infidelity and Tywin death, because I was really expecting one of the best dialogues of the season at that moment, but they failed to deliver.

I had to give 10 just for the trial scene, because the last minutes of it was simply awesome! As many I didn't like Asha's scene at the Dreadfort, but I have to say that when the trial started I totally forgot about it, just retained the great scene of Davos and the trial, both made this episode one of the best!

It was my lowest rate for this season so far (7), but there were some nice parts and others that really bothered me. I don't like this nice Cersey at all and the fact that she didn't react at all to Marg's comments was too much for me. I also didn't like this news that the Lannisters are broke, where they wanna go with this? On the up side, I really liked that they managed to solve the Jon / Bran situation in a good way, I also enjoy Arya and The Hound scenes as well as Pod and Brienne. However I do think that they are going too far with Pod's stupidity. The highlight was of course having crazy Lysa back, she rocked on this episode and really screamed for all Westeros to listen - but it gave me the impression that she was giving birth to a giant!!

Great to see crazy Lysa back, very good performance. However it was very strange to see her admitting her involvement with Jon's dead and with the plot to get Cat in like she was mentioning something so trivial. I was also pleased with the way that they managed to make Bran escape without meeting Jon, and Hodor really rocked killing Locke, but in the end I felt sorry for him when he realized some how what he did. The part the I didn't like was this strange Cersey that they have on the show. I mean, Marg says that she may call her a sister or "mother" and no reaction at all. Too sweet for my taste. Also don't get what they intend to do with this news that the Lanisters are broken. I always love Pod and Brienne's scenes and now that they are together is a joy, but again I think that they are going too far with Pod, I mean he is not that stupid! making him burning the rabbit because he didn't get that he had to skin it was too much, not to mention his riding style. I think that they didn't have to go that far.

I like the surprise in the end of episode for a change, I'm like many that like a bit of deviation from the books and enjoyed some spoilers for the first time. I gave 9 instead of 10 only because the only thing that I don't want to happen is Jon meeting with Bran, so I hope somethings happens and Bran manages to leave before Jon gets there to kick that bunch of cowards ass.

I gave 9/10 because in my opinion ot was the best premiere since the first season and as many it was a great feeling to have the series back. The only parts that I didn't like much were the ones with Jannie, because it kinds of out of place, but I get that since they brought him back earlier they would have to do something about it. Apart from that loved most of the scenes and mainly loved many of the lines in the episode, specially the Hound ones in the end. The last scene with Aria was awesome and I have to say that for a moment her happy face during her revenge gave me the creeps.

Well was an episode to put things together for next season, it seems, so that's why so many people were a bit frustrated. I was frustrated as well. I know that it was a long shot to see LS in this season finale, of course it would be great to see her, but I get why she wasn't there. However I expected to see Coldhands in this season as the last chance wad tonight and no luck, so there I got upset. On all the episode my favorite is Arya's scene.

Well, I expected to see LS at the end and also missed Coldhands, so that's why I gave it 8, because it was simply a chapter to tie things up for next season and nothing major happened.

Well I had to come late for the discussions because the forum was down for me till now. Awesome episode IMO, really well done. Michele nailed it and I liked that she ended in a catatonic way despite some complaints that I've read here in the forum. I think that the impact was much greater, at least for me.Of course that this can affect the way Lady Stoneheart looks - but again they can change that with the way on how they deal with her body after she is thrown in the river. Despite all the preparation for the scene with the music, doors being shut, Cat's sense that something bad was about to come, the stabbing on Talise was a shock (and I didn't even care about Talisa. Here my only complaint was the fact that she was pregnant and wanted to name their son Eddard. The rest of the episode was also great, loved Rickon scene, very touching and The Hound with Arya was also cool, specially the scene with the old trader. Can't wait for the season finale.

Awesome episode, really well done. Michele nailed it and I liked that she ended in a catatonic way despite some complaints that I've read here in the forum. I think that the impact was much greater, at least for me. The only thing that I missed was her going for Walder Frey, instead of the wife. Despite all the preparation for the scene with the music, doors being shut, Cat's sense that something bad was about to come, the stabbing on Talise was a shock. The rest of the episode was also great, loved Rickon scene, very touching and The Hound with Arya was also cool, specially the scene with the old trader. I was only upset that the episode was shorter than usual, but already had the chance to see it again on HBOHD, and again got the same shocking and empty feeling at the end. Can't wait for the season finale.

They really did it, a 10 for me! When they started to play Rains of Castemere, the look on Cat's face, the doors closing, all the preparation and the atmosphere there and still it was shocking to see it on screen. Michelle Fairley was amazing, IMO.

I have the same question.

Great episode IMO, minor things bothered me, but I'm fine now with the adaptation of the books, so despite the fact that while watching it I get the impulse to say, why they made Sansa kneel, after the episode ends I get why they did. I just wanted more time in some scenes, like the party after the wedding, it was too short :/ Really liked Tyrion raising his glass to Loras. Loved the crows in the end and I was waiting to Coldhands... well I hope they bring him before the end of the season. Also, I agree with many comments about Daario, I mean I like him much more than book Daario.

I did too, loved the way that he replied to her "you would be milady". Maisie was brilliant in this whole episode. Her scene with Beric was touching as well. Loved her show version so far. As for Dragontosne not being a place for her, I have to add that show's Selyse gave me more creeps than the book version, even without the ears and mustache. It really made me sick watching her talking with those baby jars!!
