Game of Thrones

Not only was the Brienne vs The Hound fight an amazing, brutal, satisfying sequence... it set up how Ayria left The Hound and that cold daggers look she gave as she got up and left with his gold. Ayria is such an amazing character in this show/story. Ironic that she, the youngest, was truly the first of the Stark children, arguably since season/book 2 really, that "gets it" when it comes to the Game. She understands in order to survive, she must be cold, calculating and brutal. That and practice her water dancing :P I can't wait to see what Bravos has in store for her.

(I have not read the books)

You'd also like her in the books. She's different, but equally as likable in the same way as the books. Her "kills" have come in different orders, which was initially annoying. But they made up for it by having the Hound stick around much longer than in the books. His perspective is weighty.

I was so excited to hear Arya finally say the words "Valor Morghulis".... Having read the books, I am very much looking forward to Bravos...

The Children definitely is one of the best episodes and the best finale so far. I really like the adaptation so far with 3 huge exceptions:

( Click to show/hide )

Can't wait to see what the show does with A Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons. The storytelling was good for each, but the seperation of the story arcs were a huge mistake. I am sure the show will correct that.

she's not actually the youngest. rickon is younger. last we saw him, he and osha left with shaggydog (direwolf) to head toward last hearth (seat of house umber), after splitting up with bran and company.

You couldn't really tell he was part of the tree! No Coldhands or Lady Stoneheart! Can't wait to see what the show does with A Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons.
