so ummm , nobody watched the last episode of the season ? guess the 9th ep was too much a shocker
Nah I did, I've just been caught up over at the other forum trying to figure out a bunch of other stuff that happens later. Since this thread is already ruined for the non-book readers, I'll list them off without being too spoilery:
- Robb didn't sign an heir apparent or legitimization document for Jon Snow. I'm bummed because that more than likely means that even though Maege Mormont and Galbart Glover hold those documents in unknown condition while trying to rally the crannogmen, it will end up being for nought. But if the most popular theory to Jon's parentage is true, then that won't matter anyway..
- Ygritte shooting Jon must've been a tough scene to throw in; I commend the writers for that. There's been speculation that she'll fill in the role of the wilding princess--I'm on the fence as to how I feel about that.
- Bran & co. are already where they end up at the end of the book that Seasons 3 & 4 are based off of. What will they do with them? Have them trek through north beyond the Wall for the next 3 seasons? I hope they don't cut him out next season. Due to those crows from when Sam killed the White Walker, I imagine they'll run into somebody next season that they were supposed to have met by now.
- Jaime, Brienne, & Qyburn have arrived a bit earlier than they were supposed to at King's Landing. I'm not worried about Jaime fitting into scenes, or Qyburn really, but Brienne will be.. interesting. Hopefully we see how she fits into society in the company of Lannisters, and doesn't spend the season in a dungeon for being loyal to the Starks. I really enjoyed watching Theon's destruction, but two people spending the bulk of the season in a dungeon is too much.
- Which leads me to wonder if Theon's scenery will change somewhat next season. Book readers know that it doesn't aside from the escape/hunt attempt with Kyra, but I don't think they'll do that again, especially with his Johnson gone. I am
thrilled they threw in the Reek storyline. I really wasn't expecting that to make it in, it'll be wonderful to see Theon's further descent into madness.
- I'm excited to see some more scenes with Asha/Yara.
- I miss the Umbers, namely the Greatjon. I wish scheduling worked out with him.
- What a corny ass ending.
- Davos for King of the Andals, the Blackfish as his Hand. Those dudes rule.
