Game of Thrones (spoiler-free zone)
A few have suggested it, might as well test the waters. The idea is to give people who haven't read the books a safe place to talk about the show.
A few quick ground rules:

It is for me. Without going into spoiler territory, it's like book 1 on steroids. No, check that. It's book 1 on captain america super soldier serum with some crack mixed in.

So it turns out that crossing Daenarys and her dragons was a bad idea. Who would have thought?
Great season finale and season overall. It didn't top last year's crazy twists and turns, but really, I'm not sure how it could have. I expected Theon to die this season the way his narrative arc was going, but I suppose there will still be some time for him to redeem himself yet. Disappointing that Tyrion and Bronn lost all the power they had, it was fun while it lasted. The rest was unsurprising (well...except Jaqen randomly changing into somebody else) but set up next season. No word on whether Davos lived or died yet, either. I'm definitely going to have to read the 3rd book if I get the time. |

I think my feelings on the episode are being clouded by the whole Pirates of the Caribbean style at the end there.

People aren't losing interest. It's just two haters on a message board.

So what was the deal with Dany walking out of the wall? Perhaps some foreshadowing?
She needs to get her ass across the narrow sea and join the rest of our gang so her story can be more interesting. And Jon Snow? What's his deal? |

The House of the Undying scene is fairly different in the book. But if they're doing what I think they're doing by showing Danny at the wall (and I'm honestly not sure what they're doing, I'm just guessing) it's a really smart move.
There have already been so many exciting changes! I'm really pumped to see what direction they take things next season. How much will be directly from the book? What will the change? I feel like there's still a lot of suspense even for the book readers because you never know what curve balls they're going to throw. |

That was fun! Loved the Iron Maiden zombie white walker thing at the end, he looked cool.
Loved the dragons lighting up that creepy ass Pyatt Pree and then Dany locking Xaro and the traitor woman in the wall safe. Dany can be downright cruel if you cross her, just like when Viserys got killed or she burned that witch alive that killed Drogo and her son. They did a poor job of explaining Jon Snow's part I thought, but basically Quorin Halfhand wanted Jon to join the wildlings to get information, and he wanted to avoid being tortured to death, so he staged the anger toward Jon and the fight so Jon would kill him and the wildlings would accept Jon as a traitor to the NW and let him join the wildlings. But Quorin reminds Jon of his NW vows as he is dying. |
