They spent the season finale on a glorified trailer for the season 4 premiere and then spent the season 4 premiere playing the "hey, remember this guy? He's got a new haircut" game.

Nobody else gets away with this bullshit.

I guess this:

"Ed Skrein played Daario Naharis in "Game of Thrones" season 3.
A report from Variety may have revealed the reason for Skrein’s departure. In February, Variety reported Skrein will star in a new “Transporter” movie, taking over the role of Frank Martin from Jason Statham in the franchise. As Daario would become more of a focal point in “Game of Thrones” season 4, and in future seasons, it could lead to conflicts with the shooting schedule for “Transporter.” Shooting for “Transporter” is expected to begin in June, reports Variety."

I've heard theories from book fans who think they're going to drag the whodunit out all season long as opposed to the book where we got the answer literally the next chapter.

Which is kind of cool. If done right, that could be some quality TV from Game of Thrones for a change.

Right. It's pretty much the opposite when you learn what becomes of Ser Barristan in the book as opposed to the show. In the book, Martin had the option of hiding his identity for a bit. Since we know what he looks like in the show, not an option.

Yeah for sure, i'm happy they didn't attempt the Barristan mystery. Works on paper, but no way that would've worked in a TV medium.

Speaking of mysteries, is it pretty much factual in the show at this point that it was Cersei who sent the assassin after Bran? They never gave even a hint of it being Joffrey in the show, afterall.

Not enough nudity this season. Also, a lot of filler. Too many plots for one hour episodes. Of course the books are better. But it certainly seems like the show is getting worse and worse.

SPOILER but...

Oberyn was the best new character on the show. He didn't give a shit about shit and he was a legit threat to the Lannisters, who couldn't do anything about it. And after all that he gets the sunset flip finish pulled on him and George RR Martin runs out of the ring with the belt.

I love the show but I don't get the character selection whatsoever. Everyone worth anything is dead or forced into a subplot that gets overshadowed by the boring world of Daenerys Queen of the Friend Zone.

Brnsy plz. I'm obviously getting a little ahead of myself by saying none of the remaining characters are worth anything. I haven't read the books, and I'm sure there's some crazy shit brewing. But Rob Stark is dead, Oberyn is dead, the Hound is comic relief, your top heel is dead in Joeffrey and no one has really taken his place. Maybe I should be grateful for the uncertainty but I don't know who challenges the Lannisters right now (NO SPOILERS PLZ) and the main sub plots are Jon Snow vs the Wildlings vs the White Walkers and the Daenerys - I Love New York reality show.

The last episode was easily the BEST episode post-season one, to be perfectly honest.

The Jorah stuff was poorly handled(would've made more sense to have had Barristan and Jorah have some sort of rivalry, with Barristan knowing from the start - instead of deus ex machina) but the scenes were well done. The Theon/Bolton scenes were killer, and pretty close to what I imagined from the books. The Arya/Hound scenes are obnoxious as shit, but the scene this episode with them getting to the Eyrie was great.

Sophie Turner(Sansa) and Aiden Gilly(Littlefinger) both tend to flipflop from terrible actors to great actors, but this episode they both killed it - and the writer's actually felt like they were TRYING for a change.

And of course, the Tyrion dungeon scene and the trial by combat were both great scenes. Excellent acting, beautifully shot and edited, etc. I actually think it was VERY wise of them to not put any music during the fight itself, since we had crowd noises and Oberyn's lines - intense music would've made it too cluttered. Good choices.

You said the same thing about the first episode this season where nothing happened.
 _______________________________
[Jun 4,2014 3:53pm - spence ""]
That one was more because seasons 2 and 3 were irredeemably awful.

While very little has actually happened this season as a whole, I feel like the scene-to-scene dialogue writing has much improved, I feel like the actors are trying again(especially Peter Dinklage and Kit Harrington), I feel like the gore-effects this season are no where nearly as laughable as they were in previous seasons, and I feel like the series just all around looks better now.

So far, S1 >>>>>>>> S4 >>>>>>>>>> S3 >>>>>>>> S2

I do agree that much less has been happening though, which kind of makes the series at least feel more focused. I guess i'm still clinging onto the hope that the series might become fully decent again like it was in S1, so I guess we'll see what S5 brings. I'm mainly watching for this season's ending to see how they handle Tyrion-stuff on the big screen.

Haha Someone just posted that video on my page. Too funny.

Regarding what you said about Barristan/Jorah, I just finished the books a few months ago but my memory is already a little hazy. So many little details. My understanding is that in the books, Barristan obviously knew the whole time since he was Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, but he waited to reveal his identity while he got a feel for Dany (giggity) and whether she was like Rhaegar or Aerys. However, and I think we talked about this already, in the show, they have to drop the Arstan Whitebeard story because we already know what Selmy looks like. How else could the show have handled Barristan outing Jorah as the informer? I just don't know what you mean, I guess. They DID have a rivalry in the show and one never trusted the other. When I saw the episode, I thought it was well done and was glad to see that issue finally sewed up.
 _______________________________
[Jun 4,2014 7:27pm - spence ""]
No, I agree that it's a good thing that they skipped the Whitebeard silliness.

I just mean, randomly a spy steals the pardon from Jorah's stuff and hands it to Barristan, then Barristan gives it to Dany - all in one episode. In the book, it felt like it flowed. In the show, it felt like it just happened because plotdevice. Feels out of left field and rushed.

Maybe they'll reveal that show-Tywin had some huge elaborate ploy to make that happen, but that's just as unbelievable as LF and Varys omnipresent spies in showverse. (in that, at least in the books, the spies had their limits)

 _______________________________
[Jun 4,2014 9:58pm - spence ""]
Varys being a warg would make perfect sense in both the show and the books.

Littlefinger being a warg wouldn't make any sense in the books, but I could see them doing something like that in the show to explain his constant omnipresence.
 ________________________________
[Jun 4,2014 10:00pm - Burnsy ""]
Oh, I was saying I just don't really have a good Little Finger theory. I don't think he's a warg though. Definitely doesn't make sense. I feel like varys's little birds are meant to be literal.

The series basically followed up the best episode of the series post-s1, with what's easily probably the worst episode of the whole series but rather than going through and listing every single problem I had with it(there's way too many) i'll just go through with the parts I liked.

Ser Alliser Thorne. Probably the one character with decent lines this episode, and the actor really knows how to deliver them. Great performance. Also his fight with Tormund was suspenseful as fuck.

I also felt Pyp, Grenn and Edd were all standouts this episode.

And of course, mindless action is always fun and makes us all forget the horrible writing. But no big deal.

I like that Oberyn can get his head popped/exploded from pressure/whatever from HANDS, and yet Jon Snow gets his face thrown full-force into a fucking anvil by a Thenn, and yet is perfectly fine.

And of course, that's followed up by Jon delivering a Walking Dead death with a flimsy hammer that would barely give someone a concussion - let alone split open their skull.

[Jun 9,2014 4:07pm - ark medæval times  ""]
spence, all valid points until the hammer bit. any hammer will do that to a skull. especially a ball-pein hammer, which is used to shape iron and the like. i'm not trying to stand up for jon, because yeah, that anvil should have knocked him out cold.

If Jon was there I doubt he would have given such a brash command, but what does that andrewbastard character (aka Eddison Tollett) know about defense strategies?
Why is everyone sitting around Castle Black the next morning instead of filling that tunnel with rocks and then caving it in? They could also cover the outside with water to make the area before the gate into an ice rink. But I guess they'd rather face imminent death than live and lol at a Mammoth stumbling while minstrels on archlutes play the Benny Hill theme.

If they had used the scythe on HUNDREDS of troops, then it would've been badass. The fact they used it on LITERALLY five people gives me a headache. Apparently the NW never heard of poking climbers with pikes.

Speaking of which, Grenn and his lot should've had pikes too - or at least in addition to swords, so they could get the giant before he broke through his gate.

Also, I love how Jon demonstrating his great leadership only involves him saying NOCK, DRAW, LOOSE over and over again.

And of course, using flame arrows makes zero sense as flame arrows were near exclusively used to set enemy ships, siegeengines and buildings on fire.

The writers on this show are hacks.

It's a bumout to see The Hound go down especially to Brieanne who I don't think much of as a character. I'm told in the book he gets done in by some jabroni and neither The Hound or Arya ever come into contact with Brieanne. It's a punch in the face though to see The Hound die with zero satisfaction. He turns babyface and you think he's going to get some kind of revenge on his brother or the Lannisters or somebody and then he just dies out of nowhere. It was very Vince Russo of Martin. Again.

I get it in the sense that Arya had to eventually get herself to Bravos, and that's an actually exciting turn of events because they've been alluding to this for a long time and Arya hooking up with (I'm assuming) a group of assassins in Bravos can only lead to something great.

It was also, thank god, a better season finale than last season's. I think HBO got enough shit from it's public by wasting the season finale last year that they had to do it right this time. It's not without its faults though.

Does Stannis end up fighting the Wildlings in the book? If I was Stannis and the priestess all of a sudden told me "Whoops, the lord of light of all a sudden wants you to fight a different war or a different front even though I already told you that victory was a sure thing at Blackwater" I think it'd be a grumpy gus about it. And what ever happened with Stannis' mysterious trip to Bravos to get backing from the iron bank? At the time it seemed like they had just put this huge step over on the Lannisters, then we don't hear from him for weeks and then he shows up in the north.

Yes, the whole Brienne/Hound thing did not happen in the book. I sorta get it, because as a show watcher, you see Brienne as pretty insignificant but she's definitely not in the books. It was a decent fight scene, though a little long in my opinion. In the books, the Hound dies very slowly after the fight in the Tavern where Arya killed Polliver.

Good question about Stannis's trip to Braavos. The way I remember it in the books, he didn't actually go to Braavos. A banker from the Iron Bank meets up with them at Castle Black after defeating the wildlings. I think the show has always done a pretty lackluster job in showing how totally fuckin' badass Stannis is.

So many questions with the finale, but the main one that's bugging me: what did Spence think of it?

The Hound is alive. He has a limp and hides away.

I'll bet money that Spence hated it, was rooting for the Hound's cholesterol to be what killed him, turned the channel to a Swiffer commercial and then dubbed it the best Swiffer commercial since season 1.

Loved the episode, lots of things wrapped up and sets up a lot more. I had the Tywin moment spoiled for a long ago but it sounded so ridiculous that I never gave it credit for being real.

I'm mildly confused about Stannis: so did the bank give him money? I assumed no. I also had no idea why he showed up at the north initially, I don't remember that being part of his plan.

Also loved the running skeletons.

Yes, Stannis got the backing from the Iron Bank. He showed up in the North cuz dat crazy bitch Melisandre said so.
