The season finished well, but this thread is finished.
There was a major spoiler discussed about during the past week, where it's like if you connect this and this and this, that means this is going to happen... And you only know about that because you worked backwards from knowing what happens due to the books, to work out the series of events in past episodes. Without knowing what happens there were dozens of different ways to connect the dots and produce different outcomes.
Good episode but 3 things...
(1) not much a fan of battles being resolved by an unexpected army sweeping in and putting an immediate end to it, same with the battle of blackwater.
(2) too much focus on Ygritte, especially the request by the prisoner that she be placed back north of the wall, rather than every one of the dead placed back north and burned.
(3) don't quite get why Tyrion went up to Tywin's chamber. It worked out well for the show to find Shae there, kill her, then hunt down Tywin on the shitter. But Tyrion wasn't entering the chamber with the intentions of killing anyone, and he wasn't there to say farewell...
Oh well. We'll find out what happens in just 9 short months!
