kairparavel Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Weakest finale, partially because it didn't end with the end of the book so no 'cliffhanger', and partially because they tried too hard to resolve nothing post-RW aside from getting Jaime to King's Landing. 5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenBeyondtheWeb Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I liked it mainly bc of the Tywin/Joff/Tyrion scene and Arya killing freys!!!! yay!! but my unsullied husband and semi-spoiled son (by me i have to have someone to talk to about it! Lol) thought it was kinda boring. Expected UnCat or at least the set up for her. Solid 7 from me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomás Antunes Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Not a bad episode overall, but expected a lot more from a season finale.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerA Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Wow, no LS. I thought for sure they'd have her there.Other than Arya's scene, pretty boring actually. Purely setup only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kev. Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 9. Solid season finale.I look at Game of Thrones as a television series, in of itself. Just because characters are changed and everything doesn't follow the books...doesn't make it bad.Solid stuff. Excited for season 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lany Freelove Cassandra Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I thought they tied up things nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howdyphillip Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 10 - The most solid episode of the season. I loves the added scene with Ygrette. If you are going to change Jon Snow's character as much as it has been changed, that was a needed resolution. I also liked Yara/Asha deciding to go for Theon. I am looking forward to the non cannon story next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7V3N Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) What a horrible episode. They made it so cheesy. The exceptions are:Roose Bolton. This actor nails in and his presence makes every scene better as another villain (like Tywin) that you hate to love, and love to hate.Tywin Lannister. Charles Dance has continually nailed Tywin, and has the exact presence of Tywin Lannister. You feel the power radiating from him.Bran's story of the Rat Cook.Everything else was just cringe-worthy, and at some points I felt like I was watching a soap opera. It hit me hard at first, when Yara gave her speech, and continued for a while after including (just off the top of my head):Jaime's return to King's Landing.Varys and Shae.Tyrion and Cersei.Jaime and Cersei.Tyrion when he walked in on Sansa crying.Davos, Mel, and Stannis (angels on the shoulders anyone?)Davos and Gendry. I hated that he is crossing from Dragonstone to King's Landing in a row boat. Bull fucking shit.Dany and "Mhysa" was so cheesy. Give her a horse so she can ride past as they reach out. That closing shot was hysterical, as in I couldn't help but laugh at it.ETA: Jon and Ygritte.Arya's stabbing didn't seem anything near (what I believe this was the "equivalent" of) Crossroads Inn. One of (if not the) best Arya scenes was just butchered. I gave it a 2/10 simply because of Tywin, Roose, and Walder Frey. I was so disappointed with this episode.

nothatso Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Thought the last scene was the cheesiest thing they've ever done. Nearly ruined the entire episode for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lany Freelove Cassandra Posted June 10, 2013 Share 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.The Shea scene also nearly got me. It was stupid to add it if she didn't go. I didn't get it at all.

Random Stark Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 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.He seems pretty close to his book counterpart, in my opinion.I'd give it an 8. Solid episode. Loved the Arya scene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kev. Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) The Shea scene also nearly got me. It was stupid to add it if she didn't go. I didn't get it at all.I believe it was intended to make Shae presume Tyrion wanted her to go, and couldn't tell her himself. Now there's a bigger rift between them? That's what I would asssuuummmeeee. Edited June 10, 2013 by King Kev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzy Dunlop Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 The scene with Tyrion and Cersei seemed completely pointless. I guess they just wanted to give Dinklage more screen time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serial Killer Arya Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 4. Worst ending in the series so far. NO LADY STONEHEART???? C'mon!!!! At least Coldhands?? Where is the epicness?????? BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabronius Maximus Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) Hmm I gave it an 8. Just kind of bummed there's no Coldhands. Otherwise I felt it adequately tied up the loose ends after the heavy episode last week.That scene with Jon struggling, saying "Pyp...Sam..." was so very familiar to some scene with a bunch of Hobbits..

Apulia Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) The episode gave hope for the future and it had a sweet ending too. Yes, a set up for Season 4. Gave it a 10. . Lots of good acting. [ spoiler ] Gendry was saved. Arya knows her future. Bran and company now know the secret of dragon glass, as does Sam. Jon is still with us. [ / spoiler ] Maybe some viewers who wanted to stop viewing the series will continue. Edited June 10, 2013 by Apulia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FNF Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 (edited) He seems pretty close to his book counterpart, in my opinion.I'd give it an 8. Solid episode. Loved the Arya scene.In the series, he's practically subservient to the Red Witch. In the books he still has the final say. Hell, it was him who decided to head North wasn't it? Not Melissandre.Anyway I gave it a 1/10 just because it was THAT underwhelming. The positive aspects such as Roose cannot come near to countering the amount of shit in this episode. Also, they really, REALLY missed out on an UnCat cliffhanger. I swear to god every book reader expected it.

TomBadgerlock Posted June 10, 2013 Share 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.10 months is a lot of sinking.

Chunk88 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 5Incredibly let down. That was the last scene? Ugh. Why no Coldhands? The only excuse I'll accept - it's Benjen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
