Classic Game of Thrones. Been waiting two seasons for Cersei to lay waste to the High Sparrow and the Faith Militant... but Margaery and most of the other Tyrells get caught up in it. I'm really going to miss Margaery, the Tyrells are my favorite non-Stark House. It's a shame the rest of her awesome brothers never made it in the show, would love to see how Garlan and Willas react to the massacre. Suppose I'll have to wait until George finishes that damn book. Anyway, back to the show. I think a lot of people saw Cersei using the Wildfire coming. But I didn't forsee the Tyrells dying, Tommen committing suicide, or Cersei being crowned Queen. Really interested to see how Jaime reacts to all of this next season, I think it's clear that he's finally come to the realization that Cersei is awful. Hoping he kills her next season. And how great was the music for the trial scene? DAKINGINDANORF! Let's just hope it goes better this time around. Littlefinger already has me worried about this whole thing... Oh, and that little R+L=J thing was confirmed. I still have no idea how that's going to play in the bigger picture. Props to Liam Cunningham for the scene where he confronts Melisandre about Shireen, he was brilliant in it."If your God burns children than that God is evil!" Arya killing Walder Frey was so satisfying. Though you have to wonder if she's gone too far off the deep end. Yeah nobody is going to miss Walder Frey or Meryn Trant, but the way she brutally murders them is pretty unsettling. Olenna roasting the Sand Snakes was hilarious. And we finally got "Vengeance. Justice. Fire and Blood" in the show. Loved the scene of Dany making Tyrion Hand of the Queen. He's finally being recognized for his intelligence and you can see how much it means to him. Dany is far from perfect but with the Tyrells gone and Tyrion by her side she might be the best hope for Westeros at this point. As long as she (or Cersei) don't burn it to the ground before the war is over. Overall, fantastic episode I can't wait until Season 7. If only we had a book of some sort to hold us over until then... I floated the theory about Jon a year or two back and I was basically told I was an idiot for saying it...that was damn satisfying lads. Who are the morons that told you that you were an idiot for saying R+L=J? That has to be one of the most widely believed fan theories ever, ha.

So anyone else feel like Jamie's gonna be the one to take out Cersei? I think and hope so. I believe it's the best way to complete both of their character arcs.

WINTER IS HERE!!!! FINALLY!!!! What a finale! Here are my thoughts... 1) I LOVED that the episode opened with the Faith Militant arc and closed it. The setup was brilliant. And boy did it feel so good to see the them get their comeuppance. However, I was sad to see Margaery go. I always liked her. And I thought her deceiving the sparrow was going to lead to something bigger for her. It turns it out it really was as simple as her just trying to keep her brother alive. The explosion was badass. But part of me kind of wanted them to burn to death (as opposed to an instantaneous explosion) for the shock factor it would create for us as an audience and the characters themselves. The high sparrow's smugness always annoyed me. I wanted for once to see him worried. Then again he was pretty concerned right before the wildfire went off. It's one thing to talk smack about facing death. But when it actually came, he got unsettled. Either way, legendary scene! 2) Still on King's Landing. Nice to finally see Pycelle get what he deserved. And LOL @ Tommen. Dude was such a p**** from the start. And he betrayed his family. Good riddance. And oooh myyyy was it nice to see Cersei get revenge on Septon Unella. Cersei walking out while saying "Shame" as the Mountain started torturing her was so freaking epic on every level. Speaking of. Did the zombified Mountain rape her? I mean I'm assuming so since he kind of had a thing for the dreaded "r" word. I wonder if she'll still be around next season. Alive and tortured like the wizard who cut Varys (I still wonder what happened to him). In spite of all that, I still want Cersei to meet her end. But will it be by Arya, Jamie, or someone else? Only time will tell. 3) Arya kills Frey! Another bloody, feel-good moment! I'm glad they wrapped that storyline up. The fan service this season is great. I know some people complain about that... But they can go themselves. It all played well with the story. 4) The Tower of Joy was okay. I don't understand why they couldn't concretely say that it was Jon and that Lyanna loved Rhaegar (I'm assuming? Or maybe he really did kidnap her). I did like how it cut straight to Jon, so it was all but confirmed. Still, I didn't think her whispers needed to be unheard. 5) Speaking of Jon, the whole King of the North moment was great. IGN said that it looked like Sansa wasn't happy about Jon's reception? I didn't get that at all. I thought she was happy. It seemed like she totally supported him. Maybe I missed something. Either way, I am worried about her and Littlefinger. Something is obviously going to go down. Also, that was an emotional scene with Davos. Obviously there’s still more in store for the Red Woman. A meeting with Arya perhaps? (as she foreshadowed in season 3) 6) I had no feelings whatsoever about Daario being let go. That's because, as I have stated many times (and will continue to do so every chance I get), the original actor was AMAZING and the recasted actor is terrible. Of course recasting is stupid regardless. It totally ruins the mystique. Dumbest move ever by HBO to recast Daario. The original was such a badass. I have no allegiance towards the recast. I hope he gets killed off or not even spoken of again. 7) Daenerys is finally on the go. Obviously, she is going to run into some kind of difficulty at sea. I imagine she'll run into Euron and he'll have a few things up his sleeve. Dany seems a little OP at the moment, so there has to be an equalizer somewhere. 8) Sam's scene was cool I guess. Nothing really happened. Just a big ass library. Anyone else get nervous as he walked through the shelves? I legit thought he was going to be killed somehow. Like his dad knew where he was going and was going to set him up. But then I realized it was unlikely because they put so much into his arc and it would've been pointless just to kill him off that way right then and there 9) Part of me actually wondered once again if that certain character from the books was going to show up after all. I mean, episode 8 basically pissed that idea away (literally with the Hound). But I thought maybe said character was in the background somewhere. It's still technically a possibility. That being said, I'm very split about the character, and overall I think it's probably better that they go forward without. 10) I can't wait for the final two seasons. All signs are pointing towards Jon and Daenerys meeting up and fighting the White Walkers. Now the question is will they actually hook up as well? That would be the subject of a lot of scrutinization. After all, Jon is technically her nephew. Weird. There's so many other pieces on the board. Should be an interesting close in the next two years. Hopefully they don't screw it all up like Lost did. Fantastic end to what was a magnificent season. Payoff after payoff after payoff. My only disappointment overall was the White Walker origin. Seemed underwhelming and wasn't explored enough. Other than that, it was everything I wanted and more. So get ready bitches... Winter is here.

I wonder if Bran will tell Jon the truth before or after we see the dragons won't attack Jon.

Like does Jon, at least on some level, figure out he's Targaryen before Bran has the chance to tell him the truth. What a trip that whole deal would be. We do have to speculate if Jon is fire proof or not though. Because Viserys was not. So that kind of lends itself to Dany being special but surely Jon would be special too. That's something I'm dying to see play out. That's why I assumed the Night's Watch would try and burn Jon when he died, just to discover he wouldn't burn. As we now know though, they saved that reveal to first tell us that L+R=J. I think the moral of this story is that the first time Dany and Jon Snow come face-to-face is going to be absolutely off the charts awesome.

Jon gets that burn on his hand when he kills the Wight in season one (it's brought up a lot more in the books) so he definitely isn't fireproof. Dany's just got some magic sh*t going on.

They just made her a superhero for the show. Targaryens aren't fireproof. Dany even gets burned in, I want to say A Dance With Dragons? So, it's tough to say which way they're going to go.

Lots of folks(elsewhere) seem to be expecting Jon & Dany to have some kind of battle......but I cant understand how anyone would think that.
Jon has no interest in the Iron Throne.....and Dany will obviously be going for The Lannisters who hold it. If anything Jon would back Dany up.

Damn fantastic season. But I already miss Margaery...
Tommen calmly walking up to the window and taking a swan dive may have been my favorite part of the whole episode.

You probably just like him because he looks somewhat like CM Punk. When's that UFC debut again? It's changed so many times in the last two years so I forget ... what exactly does this have to do with anything, dude? Just because he shares a differing opinion than you about the actor?
