That was A+ trolling with the Previously On and the ending.

Well, I liked the episode. Lots of loose ends; things that may not be as they appear. But IF they are...well, quite honestly, my interest is pretty much gone. If 90% of the things I was interested in are now moot, then frankly, I'm just feeling a bit apathetic.
For me, there's absolutely no sense of "I can't believe I have to wait a year for the next season" right now. It's more like "well...okay, I'll probably watch it when it returns, but whatever."

It feels a bit like they'll bring this one back. I know the show's reputation and all, but it feels like that's not the end. Blood melting snow and all. Plus Melissandre. It might be wishful thinking.

House Baratheon is dead.
Also, the makeup department must have used Dermablend by the tubes to cover Lena's tattoos.
Behold the morning star
All in going to say is, they didn't bring lady stoneheart into the show for a reason.

I was thinking the same thing Conan, but I just read that he got a haircut. I think he's really done.

I'm sad there was no Yara this year.

Body double and great CGI actually.

That was a finale of GOT alright. Mega trolling in the "previously on". Season 6 should be great, hopefully we will have TWOW by then, but who knows.

sometimes I find this show infuriating:
seriously brianne watches the tower for all this time then as soon as sansa lights the freaking candle she's all "oh lets go kill Stannis in the name of my old lord, because clearly he's not totally fucked anyway"
Stannis and his whole arc would have had maybe some impact if there was any real affection left for him, the only good outcome there would have been stannis and bolton killing each other.
I did like Davos at the end, while everybody was asking about Stannis, he asked about the princess instead.

From the moment early in the season when Stannis offered him Winterfell, and he turned it down, I knew Jon was dead to rights. You don't survive a dumb move like that in this universe. The best thing about Game of Thrones from an audience perspective is all of the stupid characters get killed. Well almost all of them *cough*Sansa*cough*. Even the ones you like and root for (Ned, for example), you ultimately understand that they chose nobility over their life and that at least brings some comfort to their demises. This time was interesting because every chance they had all season to cut Jon down when I suspected they would, he survived and looked all the more powerful for it. They managed to take it until the very last moment of the season to bring forth what I assumed was inevitable, just when I finally thought it might not happen. At least he got to do one final act of good by saving Sam as he would have been ass fucked ten ways from sunday had he stuck around to witness that.
I also don't get that turncoat nightwatch fuck. If you truly didn't believe it was the right thing to do with the wildlings, why open the gates in the first place when they returned? Just leave them marooned out there. It was like they knew it was what they needed to do, but they just wanted a reason to kill him any way. I think what will happen is the lead Viking wildling will find out about that, start a beef with them, and just as they are starting to fight it out, whitewalkers come over the wall and annhiliate them all. Interesting thought that Millisandre will revive Jon, my wife figured since they didn't burn him, he could be converted to a white walker once they storm the wall and come back as a bad ass walker warrior who ends up slaying Roose and Ramsey, etc.
Overall it was a solid slow burning season, I enjoyed it all very much. I hope season 6 doesn't keep Daenerys and Tyrion seperated for too long with her doing some long pointless storyline with the mountain people thought, they are just too great together to seperate so quickly.
The finale was missing one thing though. Cersei did what she had to do. It was awful. But she did it and she made it. The one thing I wanted to see was her give a shit eating grin when she got back to the castle and they closed the door. I can't wait for the zombified Mountain to let loose. Like as brutal as that walk of shame was, where was the show of happiness that her perserverance paid off, alongside the knowledge she would get her revenge on that priest fuck and that bitch nun? Again, stupid characters die and letting Cersei out after doing that to her was one of the stupidest things you could ever do. I just wanted to see that on her face for a split second.
Does Jaime turn the boat around? He has to, right? Book readers don't answer that.

To be fair, Brianne left her watch BEFORE Sansa lit the candle. She didn't see the signal and go "fuck this, I'm going after Stannis". She weighed the fact that Sansa was adamant about never using the signal versus going after someone she could actually take on.
Stubby Member
that is true, however, we are to expect that she kept that vigil all along then abandons it right before it matters.

Am I the only one who thinks it odd that they didn't show Stannis get killed? (non book reader here.)

One of the constant criticisms I've had with the show this season has been inconsistent character behavior, Brienne and Ellaria being obvious examples.
Active Member
They didn't "show" it in the books either, just alluded to it. I'm taking the show as confirmation that he's dead in the books. Ha

Is Jon Snow dead?
So, Jon Snow is dead. Long live... Jon Snow? Jon Targaryen? Zombie Jon Snow? Ghost Jon Snow?
@Miss Baphomette our little song needs a new verse.

Did you guys not notice the heavy focus on resurrection in the last few episodes? Maybe they will have him come back and lead the white walkers against Danerys. That would be a pretty amazing character pivot. Maybe they will have him come back along the lines of whatever is going on with the obvious reanimated Hound thing that we were shown in the last episode.

I wonder how much money HBO are giving Kit to throw fans off the scent.
Stubby Member
Haha, I just went to check and it's even better now...

In the past, spoilers for this show didn't bother me much, since I had already read the books and knew (generally) what was coming. Now that this season is over..we're in a weird spot where episodes going forward will be mostly new information to everybody. Spoilers are a way bigger deal now (for me) moving forward. Next season will be nuts. Effin' crazy that we're already waiting for season six.
I'm about to start the s5 finale right now. Can't wait.

He does seem to be soooo happy and excited to tell everyone Jon is really dead, doesn't he? I kept picturing him like a little kid jumping up and down out of joy.
"I'M DEAD, I'M DEAD; I'M REALLY REALLY DEAD! YAAAAAAY!!!"
Someone out of a job should not be so pleased.

That scene from The Others:
WE'RE NOT DEAD! WE'RE NOT DEAD! WE'RE NOT DEAD! *rips up pieces of paper and throws them in the air*

Are you talking about Spoiler: the pink letter? Consider the source.
Disappointed in the reaction videos so far.
Throbbing Member
Wow. Even knowing what was coming, that entire episode was pretty brutal to watch.
Active Member
No clue what the pink letter is. I'm just going off what I remember from the book
