Frankenmountain looks comically dumb. I'm guessing the High Sparrow, the Faith Militant and pretty much all Kings Landing is gonna be hosed once Cersei consolidates some power.

Yes. The above is wrong, there is still a lot of potential for book spoilers to happen in the show.

Certainly nothing major or is even guaranteed to be in the show.

No way is that fool dead for good, why did I sit through five seasons of boring Wall stuff with only one or two good episodes to show for it? If Jon's dead then how does anything in his story line relate to anyone else? Sam?

I don't think it was a bad episode, it was just horribly unsatisfying for a finale - it feels like we're supposed to get the real finale after all this setup.

The whole episode was an extended teaser for next season, at least to me. Now to cross my fingers that they bring HBO Now to Android platforms by next season.

Well despite everything, GoT, you did NOT succeed in making me feel bad for Cersei Lannister.

All I could think of during her long walk of shame was "Hey everyone, it's that haughty Queen Mother who likes to laugh at the misfortune of everyone else! Let's all laugh at her! Smile! Wave at the people! Blow them kisses!"

Man, can we just all talk about how terrible the Sand Snakes were? I expected 3 lady Oberyns. I instead got 3 bumbling assassin-wannabes, one who had a big crush on Bronn for no reason whatsoever. Except maybe his lovely singing voice.

In their native habitat, chinchillas live in burrows or crevices in rocks. They are agile jumpers and can jump up to 6 ft (1.8 m).

I did like the peek of bloated corpse eyes you could see through the helmet. Everything else was kinda dumb. Let's hope the 45th actor to take the mantle of the Mountain does a good job next season.

As she was doing the walk of shame, which I admit was a powerful scene, I couldn't help but think "oh holky gently caress she's going to kill everything so unbelievably hard". Like a look a cat gives you, when it's dressed in a costume.

e: Carice Van Houten tweeted something about "Lena and her merkin" a while back. I get it now :aaaaa:

Theon tossed her off that balcony and it made a surprisingly good and realistic thud. Then he grabbed Sansa and the two of them bailed it over the wall.

Jon snow is coming back as jon the white. Mel didn't show up there to convince Davos.
Stannis death was a bit disappointing. Didn't even see his corpse. Oh but I suppose everything about Stannis is disappointing
Arya scene was good
Dumb snake bitch adds nothing to the storyline and wasted screentime.

Also pretty unsatisfying to have this epic boltons vs stannis showdown that we've been teased about since the finale of season 4 to ultimately fizzle out.

I hope Stannis isn't out yet, though, because Dillane makes him such a great character.

Theon made crazy chick go splat, chose to help Sansa escape, and they made a high jump off the battlements to an uncertain end (might as well gone splat too).

Trant was not only being a pedo but was hitting little girls with a cane at a brothel to get off, because why not. One girl didn't cry when beaten so he sent the others away. Then no-cry girl changed her face into Arya and pounced. That's it really.

No I don't mean the actual height of the actor and/or character, I mean the director's attempt to convey "freakish height" through the choice of camera placement and-- oh, nevermind. Let's just look forward to the Mountain stepping on things.

They didn't really do a good job of showing that it wasn't just "some" snow, it's like a 30 foot pile.

Dorne was just a loving waste of time. Nothing changed. The Sand Snakes wanted to kill some girl, somebody tries to stop them, they kill her anyway in a much more covert way than storming a place where the prince is constantly lounging. I liked the idea of the Sand Snakes going in but it turns out they're just a bunch of poo poo heads out for petty revenge.

At least we had Hardhome. Sweet, sweet Hardhome...

Of course she'll save Jon. Without him there's no real narrative connection to the story at the wall.

I got a better explanation for that!

Jon dies, "and so his watch has ended."

So when Melisandre resurrects him, he can go gently caress off south of the wall now!

This show will never kill Sansa like that. It will be a lot more dramatic. They jumped into a snow bank, hence why they jumped in the first place.
