cooper56 #2 Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) Stannis is pretty much destroyed as a character my first thoughts. Has to be least closest character to his book version where stannis i books is in my top 5. Edited June 10, 2013 by cooper56 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stallion That Mounts Texas #6 Posted June 10, 2013 I gave it a solid 7....pretty much setup for next season.With a father like Tywin, who needs enemies. I think this episode will fuel the speculation that Tyrion is not really Tywin's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shehzad Ghias Shaikh #8 Posted June 10, 2013 Well we got nothing from what was being expected, they just used the finale to tie up loose ends and set up season 4 a little. Nothing drastic at all in the episode..AT ALL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shehzad Ghias Shaikh #9 Posted June 10, 2013 Maybe they should have left it unclear whether Jon Snow survived or not, so that the show watchers could feel the same agony as the book readers are now facing after book 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shehzad Ghias Shaikh #11 Posted June 10, 2013 8 because of AryaBest scene in the episode! Maisie Williams FTW! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cybobbie #12 Posted June 10, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FirelordSylar22 #14 Posted June 10, 2013 Really liked it, but not sure the end scene was epic enough to leave us on.S1 we had the dragonsS2 we has the White Walker with the army of he dead.Seems just like an odd place to end it. Still really liked the episode though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tewks44 #15 Posted June 10, 2013 Sure it didn't have some of the scenes we wanted to see, but it set up Season 4 great, plus we'll still get those amazing scenes we want in season 4. I'm giving this one a 10. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RalnsofCastamere #16 Posted June 10, 2013 10/10Loved it.You gotta think of it as an Unsullied point of view, they have Dany to cheer for now.Loved it.Gold.HBO has just given us the Best Television in a while.I applaud the whole production cast and crew for Game of Thrones.

jewahe #17 Posted June 10, 2013 I gave it a 5.After the RW episode, this one was a real let down. In fact, "Rains" should have been the finale for the season. There could have been a lot less Theon, which would have given time to tie up the loose ends and bring us to a decent concusion, rather than end with this episode, which felt more like season opener.Always end a season on a show-stopper, and, given the amount of commentary I've heard outside these forums, "Rains" was definitely a show-stopper.

ebevan91 #18 Posted June 10, 2013 I'll give it an 8. It was a good episode. I'm not going to let one little thing (the lack of Stoneheart) bring the rating down too much.I think they're letting Cat's death sink in some more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zman1863 #19 Posted June 10, 2013 There were a ton of book differences. I know it's tough rounding out a season roughly 60-70% into the book its adapting, but a lot of the rounding out felt contrived. I thought the "Mhysa" thing with Dany was contrived and underwhelming compared to the mid season climax in Astapor. The Ygritte/Jon scene was implausible and weighed down by the cliche'd love story. The buddy/buddy Tyrion/Sansa scene was off. The Shae/Varys scene almost gave me a heart attack. I thought for a minute they were going to walk right into the abyss with changing things. It felt like D&D were trolling book readers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Talbot #20 Posted June 10, 2013 Solid 7. Obviously it was going to be underwhelming coming off of 3x9. I thought the first half was very very good...especially the Roose/Walder and Ramsay/REEEEEEKKKKK scenes. Tyrion and Tywin had some good dialogue.I liked the Dragonstone stuff, nothing groundbreaking there.But jesus christ on a carrot, Dany's scene was terrible. Cheesy and out of place, the music was hilarious, the crowd surfing was abysmal.I'm not docking points off for no Coldhands/Stoneheart because they can still appear. No point in complaining because a scene you expected to be in there was absent, I rate the material given.Could've been better, could've been worse. Still was better than S2 finale, but as a S3 episode, it was pretty average. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
