EDITED FOR MY SCORE- 5/10 my rant; the action of of it was pretty amazing, but i felt like D&D have been dragging this out far too long. I had read about how season 4 was going to be the post-RW to the end of book 3. okay. But i've been discussing the end of the book events with my brother and friends, and there is so much that has to happen that i don't think there will be enough time in the final episode for EVERYTHING to happen. D&D could have done a lot better. The episode where Jon goes to craster's keep was very unnecessary and pointless. it didn't do anything to add to the storyline. I mean the battle of blackwater bay episode was its own episode. They couldve had the wildings raid CB from the beginning and go from there. and correct me if i'm wrong but wasn't there a whole battle with NW brothers and wildings protecting the gate? I dont remember Grenn dying. And the fact that John going on his own to treat with Mance is total bullshit. He was basically forced to do it to test if he was a traitor or a sworn brother in ASoS. My rant for the finale; why the hell is Dany even in it? When she dismisses Jorah in ASoS, that is her last part in the book. And that already happened in episode 8. So why is she being shown? Why is Bran have a part too? Unless it is finally going to include Coldhands, I see no point to his scene. And then the glimpse of Cersei talking to Tywin and Cersei making out with Jaime? I am so confused as is what is going to happen in the finale that I am pretty annoyed. this season had a lot of hype to live up to and once again i am thoroughly disappointed. The shit with Arya, Tyrion, John/Stannis and Lady Stoneheart should ONLY be in the finale. maybe i'm being too much of a stickler and a hopeful reader for everything that happens in the books should happen in the show verbatim, but i don't see how fans of the books can keep watching hbo destroy the books any longer, even with the miniscule storyline changes
