Episode delivered in full GoT quality.
Disappointed with Littlefinger's show treatment right now though. Only serious complaint.

Not sure what was the most epic scene of tonight's finale, but Arya pulling a full on Scott Tenorman on Walder Frey has to be up there.

the smile of satisfaction on Cersei's face. but for real, the entire opening sequence was amazing. reminded me of the end of the first Godfather

Meat pies happened.

not sure i'm thrilled with the logistics of the whole thing (whered she get the face? howd she kill the frey brothers? where/how did she chop them up? everyone was cool will her cooking this shit? etc). but yes they did.

How did Jamie get from riverrun and then to the twins for cocktails, and to kings landing in time to see the sept still on fire? Lots of timeline weirdness... But what a god damned amazing episode.

Jaime probably just used littlefingers secret underground westerosi transit system.

"While in the Riverlands, Lyanna was kidnapped by Rhaegar with the help of half a dozen companions, including Arthur Dayne and Oswell Whent. Rhaegar carried her off to Dorne and raped her. "

and who do you think writes the histories? the winners (see: Robert Baratheon). Lyanna never loved Robert, she didn't like his drinking and womanizing. realistically do you have any idea how hard it would have been to kidnap Lyanna if she was not willing to go?

We're all just speculating since accounts in the books differ on how consensual the relationship was. I'm not totally convinced it is the perfect Romeo & Juliet story that you are describing, but I'm sure we'll be in for a whopper of a tale will be when the details are finally revealed, if they ever are.

certain people are capable of kidnap and rape, and certain people are not. if you tell me that Gregor Clegane kidnapped and raped someone, id believe it in a heartbeart.

Rhaegar was a sad little emo boy, that only learned how to use a sword after he learned the prophecy of the prince that was promised and thought briefly it was him (before trying to fulfill the prophecy through his 3 children). he use to travel to the ruins of summerhall to sulk and think about how sad the tragedy was, while he strummed his harp and sang sad songs. every single thing we know about Rhaegar, every single account we've heard about Rhaegar (minus the accounts from Robert Baratheon), screams that Rhaegar was a kind, wise, sensitive man, whom was a bit on the emo side. and everybody thought he would have been the best King Westeros had since Aegon V. there is not a single shred of evidence that could point to this man being possible of kidnap and rape. and a ton of it that points to the contrary.

Man. Just finished this episode. Big fuckin let down. Only cool thing was Arya killing the fray fuck, and Tyren getting hand. The substance that made these episodes great went down the pooper. Little finger is now a bitch. Tyren has no witty lines or come backs. John snow is confused throughout the entire season. Where the fuck was the hound to close the season off? Man they really fucked this season up bad. Should be sued

^^This... Shit Tyrion, get it together... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Where's that hilarious and clever dwarf we used to know and love?

i thought tommen topping himself without fanfare was one of the highlights.

I gotta admit I wasn't expecting him to do that.

I'm happy to say Cersei didn't disappoint. I was surprised to discover that I was kinda rooting for her. "When you play the Game of Thrones you win or you die." ...Indeed... Now she's finally getting her shit together and has openly come out as the evil queen like in fairy tales. I'm loving her new look, too.

All of her children are dead and gone now and they were pretty much all she cared about. She has nothing left to lose and even has extra time on her hands to unleash hell on anyone who even looks at her the wrong way. CERSEI LETS IT GO

A few random thoughts: I was hoping for more Sandor Clegane... Where the FUCK is Ghost??.. LOL Septa Unella gonna be walking funny for a while... Just WTF is Littlefinger thinking as he stares at Sansa from across the room? He seems a little irritated...

I always warn girls: stay away from the nice guys.

So with no legitimate heir to the Barratheon line at this point, who has rights to the throne (or Storm's End)? Is Cersie a legitimate option under Westerosi conventions? Renly and Stannis have no heirs. Mya Stone or Gendry?

there's a few different ways it could go. anyone with Targ blood could make a claim technically. and so while the male line of the targs and baratheons are gone, there are still descendants from the female sides. Cersei could actually make a claim as the last member of the royal family. but really, anyone with enough support can make a claim.

or he just got wasted one night I decided he was gettin laid

Was hoping we'd get to see Jamie kill Cersei - but next season I suppose. Im predicting he blames her for Tommens death, and kills her for it. She's gonna die, but how soon and by whom? My money is on Jamie. Though I would love for Arya to have the privilege.

I know the Valonqar ("little brother") prophesy has never been mentioned on the show, only the "your three kids are gonna die" part, but I still hope it's either Tyrion or Jaime, though I would settle for Arya or Sansa on HBO version.

Right, Valonqar is why I bring it up. Jamie is the little brother (minutes younger, but still "little brother"), so its either him or Tyrion, but my money is on Jamie.... but again - would love to see her fall to Arya.
