But other than that it was awesome.

Must we really have to wait until next Apri?

Yea we do.

And for all of us that read the books, we have to wait atleast 2 more years until the Winds of Winter is released.

As long as it's good then that's all that matters.

Wait, we have to wait... until...

APRIL 2013?

[censored].


Also, not as many main characters died in S2.

And while I haven't even read the books, this is just a theory of mine:

At the end of the series, it's going to come down to Denaerys' dragons against the White Walkers. She might die or have a change of heart, but the dragons are going to pretty much be the key to stopping them I think. Maybe they will come under the control of Bran and (his brother). I think Rob will die off. He will besiege King's Landing, maybe control it shortly, or something drastic will happen and his plans will come crushing down on his head (like what happened with Eddard). Arya may reunite with her brothers. I think Stannis will invade King's Landing again, he will be successful, if only for a short time. Tyrion will probably be important all the way up until the end, but I see him dying, maybe in an act of honor or bravery. Jon will unite the wildlings under him, or get them to work with everyone south of the wall to defeat the White Walkers. The Greyjoys will probably die. They aren't very developed yet, so I can't really tell. Jamie will most likely be an antagonist throughout the series. Jamie, Tyrion and Cersei's dad (don't know his name) I think is going to die soon. Unless they start developing his character a lot, I don't think he'll last as Hand of the King.

This is just my speculations, really just rambling on about what I think will happen. Was a good season, looking forward to the next. Thinking about picking up the books.

Well....I might as well start the books this summer.

Awesome episode and a fitting finale to the season!

(S02E10)

Not me. Overall AFfC managed to feel introspective and calm-before-the-storm. Although the Cersei chapters dragged a little (it was the first time I became impatient with GRRM's pacing), they're still not bad, and AFfC also has a pretty big 'oh snap' reveal moment* that I don't think anything in ADwD matched.

But the main problem with ADwD is too many new major characters, when the story was already starting to get bogged down by the sheer number of discrete narratives. I guess at least one was pretty important to the big picture**, but overall it just felt like a lot of it could have been trimmed by a competent editor.

How about that ending? Suprised myself. Very impressed with the final look of the others.

Great episode.

I loved the design for the White Walkers at the end - much better than what I remember from the opening episode of season 1.

With season 2 out of the way, I finally have a chance to get ahead of the TV series with the books.

I was skeptical of their ability to tie up all of the loose ends with just one episode, but I felt that the only thread they rushed was that of Theon, Bran and Winterfell. Other than that, it was a very good episode.

Ohhh yeah. I forgot about that final scene. The white walkers were legitimately terrifying.

Just rewatched the episode. I wonder how long they set up the cameras behind Tywin's horse and waited for it to take a steaming dump on the floor before beginning that throne room scene. I don't envy that cameraman.

Really good episode in my opinion.

Now I'll be able to catch up on the books until next year!

Spoiler tags man......

Anyway I don't think Sansa really has to worry, she still remains a bargaining chip.

Heh, sorry about that spoiler. Fixed it now.

Take a look at

This. And that fact that Martin managed to make every one of Dany's POVs (except the final one) an absolute bore.

Episode 10:

Overall I thought it was quite good, obviously not as spectacular as last episode, but it wrapped up most of the plots pretty well.

Amazing finale. In fact, it's still been on my mind practically all day today.

Ok so from the final episode....

They might be postponing the explanation until next season. I'm not sure if they're going to follow the events from the books, though. One of the characters essential to that part of the story has been conspicuously missing from the TV show.

I hope they follow the books. That character is quite important for the events that unfold later on in the novels.

But...
Agreed.

In Valar Morghulis, when the Greyjoys leave. Do they set Winterfall on fire, or is it the army outside?


And WHERE did that army go? Wasn't it the Bastard's army? Why wasn't it shown looking for Bran?
