Oh, and this last episode was the most entertaining and gripping as I have seen in the series. Bravo. I enjoyed this recap.

Re: Game of Thrones Season 4 thread
 

Was that to be considered a cliff hanger now in this world where 8 episodes is a "season"?
If it was, it was OK in that regard but DAMN, even though I knew how it would likely turn out
it still blew my mind. I guess we can assure ourselves a battle between the two brothers?
An awful lot of setup for the siege of the Wall for no kind of meat on em bones.

OK, I see there are two more coming.

Re: Game of Thrones Season 4 thread
 

I haven't read the books, thankfully.

I don't expect the brothers to fight, though. I think the Mountain died right after the Viper did. Maybe I am making an assumption, though. We don't know for sure, I guess.

Peter Dinklish should (will?) win an Emmy. I think he is in my top ten actors.

Re: Game of Thrones Season 4 thread
 

I am assuming the same thing and so ask, if both contestants in the trial by combat die, why does Tyrion still lose and is thus sentenced to death...:confused:

Re: Game of Thrones Season 4 thread
 

Because the Viper died first. :(

Re: Game of Thrones Season 4 thread
 

I see both your points, I was scattershooting. I imagine he dies shortly thereafter. But Crimps sounds right,
you gotta draw the line somewhere, especially when most of your remaining family hates you.

Re: Game of Thrones Season 4 thread
 

I think Tyrion makes it through the season!

Re: Game of Thrones Season 4 thread
 

My favorite character is by far Stanis! And hope he comes to power, nervous if he goes up against Dynaris though! Glad to see Sansa finally making smart decisions and starting to play the game, although Baelish is absolute pure evil he would never do anything to harm her. And What's gonna happen now with Ser Jorah Mormont pretty sure Dynaris should've killed him on the spot! Lastly in the Tyrion subject I'm pretty sure Jamie will come to the recue one way or another him and Braun possibly!

Re: Game of Thrones Season 4 thread
 

Hopeful thinking. As do I :banger

Re: Game of Thrones Season 4 thread
 

I wouldn't go so far as to say that. Remember what Varys had to say about him: "He'd see Westeros burn as long as he could be king of the ashes." Littlefinger only sees people in terms of how they can help him climb the ladder of chaos.

Re: Game of Thrones Season 4 thread
 

This. Last man standing...or in this case, breathing.

Re: Game of Thrones Season 4 thread
 

Last scene was brutal!!!

Re: Game of Thrones Season 4 thread
 

Having read the books, i can honestly say it wouldn't surprise me as to what comes next. Some things they've kept close to the story line in the books, others, not so much.

Re: Game of Thrones Season 4 thread
 

How's that for a season ending?

Re: Game of Thrones Season 4 thread
 

One of the better episodes.
Bolt through the chest - just desserts for a real jack@@s

Re: Game of Thrones Season 4 thread
 

Nice season ending! Thought they were straying alot from the books but that episode brought most of it back inline.

Re: Game of Thrones Season 4 thread
 

soo... when does the next season start? please say next sunday :)

Re: Game of Thrones Season 4 thread
 

Talk about tying up some loose ends. I didn't remember Stannis Baratheon heading to the north wall at all, until I watched the recap prior to the finale last night. John Snow continues to impress.

Without giving too much away, I couldn't help but think about Tyrion and Tywin Lannister's celebration of Fathers Day.

March? can't get here fast enough.

Re: Game of Thrones Season 4 thread
 

In the book it was a bit lower. Either way you gotta love a happy ending to that particular story. ;)

Re: Game of Thrones Season 4 thread
 

Thought it was a great episode. I just got into the series but binge watched seasons 1-3 to catch up to the current episodes. I'm not sure what I'm going to do Sunday nights now......Guess I'll have more time to smoke.

Re: Game of Thrones Season 4 thread
 

This was a good episode and I think next season will start getting ahead of the last book. I hope he gets to finishing the next book soon but if I remember correctly it is usually 6 to 7 years between books.

Re: Game of Thrones Season 4 thread
 

Oh, I was under a different impression.

I haven't read the books, so I am simply going on what I heard from a coworker, that we are at the end of the 3rd book. Maybe I am way off on that, though.

Re: Game of Thrones Season 4 thread
 

I read them all and honestly I can't remember. I do know Arya has much more going on that we will see from the books. I just think on some of the story they are getting to where the books ended and maybe by the end of the season we will see new stuff. I may re read them just for the fun of it.

Re: Game of Thrones Season 4 thread
 

Fair enough, Jake.

I think my Wife is about to start reading them. Honestly, I don't think I can invest the necessary time to do that. Besides, I'm so stinking AD... Oh look, a ball.

Re: Game of Thrones Season 4 thread
 

You and I have different definitions of fun, I'd rather just wait for the next season to come out :r

Re: Game of Thrones Season 4 thread
 

It has been renewed for 2 more seasons......so far, so he has time....we're good I think.

Re: Game of Thrones Season 4 thread
 

I have a lot of free time at work and in a hotel so I have about 2,000 books on my Nook HD+ at all times. I do a lot of reading and usually read between 80 to 100 books a year. Just something I really enjoy.

Re: Game of Thrones Season 4 thread
 

I haven't seen the TV show, but finished the last book today and I WANT MORE!

Re: Game of Thrones Season 4 thread
 

They sort of ended up the season with book 3. A bit of pull ahead on some story lines, others they still need to get fully caught up on (if they even do so). I'm rereading the books myself, and now into book 4. I have to say, the way they wrote the storyline of Brienne and the Hound was pretty cool. Completely different from the books.

Re: Game of Thrones Season 4 thread
 

I was happy to see a few nice stories set up for next time, but I am in no mood to wait.
They broke up my favorite team last night, but a LOT of pigeons came home to roost.
Seems the Targarean bi+(h can't fully grasp control over things. They just HAD to mess up
my idea of the dynamic of Arya and The Hound. But you can have ALL the reveals and the
cliff-hangers and the crazy 5hi+ for the ONE GREATEST SCENE of the season for me....
Our Anti-hero completes the escape of our loveable drunken whorer, turns to go back home,
sees and hears the entire city in rabid turmoil, turns around, returns and sits down on the
getaway craft to join his new pal in some foreign land. I like my chances better on the road...
We always knew he was clever. Now we see he is smart, too. And don't think that with the old
man dead, the bank won't be coming to call.
