Only had the chance to watch the finale last night, and boy, was it ever a tough one.
Cersei's walk of shame was agonising to watch. That must've been one hell of a scene to film for the actress.
Reek and Sansa's jump was great. I wonder what's in store for them. Knowing how the show works they'll just get caught and tortured anyway.
Brienne and Stannis... not sure Stannis is dead. The quick cut seems to indicate there's more coming from those two.
Heartbroken for Myrcella and Jamie. But he does seems a bit out of character... I don't find his character arc very believable, he's just changed too much.
Arya's storyline is one I don't care much about, but it was very satisfying to see how she dealt with whatshisnose child molester.
Glad to see Sam get away. I'm sure he'll have an important part to play.
Looking froward to seeing how Tyrion and the Spider put Meereen in order, and nice to see Daenerys find a new army. And please release the other two dragons already!
And Jon Snow.
What to say?
I'm a bit tired of this "let's kill a likeable main character" thing. The novelty has worn off, and it seems the author is doing it just for the hell of it. I mean, the act of killing the Lord Commander who has the loyalty of thousands of pretty ferocious wildlings seems a bit stupid. Add to it that everybody has an idea of what they are facing in terms of the white walkers and it's just completely unreasonable for the Night's Watch to betray their commander.
It just doesn't make any sense and seems poor writing to me.
It will be interesting to see what happens next, but the level of intelligence of the show just dropped a notch for me.
