3 cheers for Jamie rescuing Tyrion.
I would not count the Hound out completely yet. Frequently, those old timers have a way of coming back to life.
The battle scene surrounding Bran Stark was intense. We will probably see much more of that next season.
They need more episodes and less time between seasons.
I was totally in the moment when they were crossing to their sacred tree. Hands popping out of the ground never fail to startle me.
I really felt for Meera having to mercy kill her brother Jojen. She was devoted to protecting him. I think the fireballs not only insured that he would not re-animate but killed those skeleton soldiers.
What were those things exactly? White Walkers, Wights, the bones of the First Men.
Incredible stats. I wonder if the same people who were watching the finale were not the same as the basketball game watchers. (Splint in my house.)
