Last week I was let down by the Languish hype.

This week I was underwhelmed by the ho-hum season-ender.  :(

I think they should have ended with Jon becoming head of the nights watch rather than the anti - climactic Dany bit.

It was a pretty tame ending to the season.

I think Asha Greyjoy is about to get shafted by D&D revisionism. This doesn't open up for any Kingsmoot or the Greyjoy brothers. Season 5 is gonna have some problems with a hard start having to introduce a whole bunch of new characters from dorne and pyke without the advantage of having a familiar face around to expedite their acclimatization.

I'm confused.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

*You're* confused?

I can remember the names of about 10 characters.  How the hell do you think I feel?

I found that bit with the 'sheep-shifting' adorable.  I'm glad they put that in to make Sansa's devastation more notable, as opposed to just her regular gloominess that she's been stuck in for the last two seasons.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

I agree, it was an okay episode and sets up season 4 fine, but the ending with Daenerys feelgoodyfreedomshitthatgoesnowhere... well.

Actually, I got Gareth from The Office as the one eyed guy from Pirates of the Caribbean.

Still doesn't solve my problem when Puff and crew are discussing the appearance of Wuldy and Miflow and Shamu in the next season.

I like this post-show review if I missed something or got confused.

You do realize that one way of not spoiling is to use obscure references to people and events. Besides the books have been out for years and how the hell can you consider yourself a languishite and not have read any of them by now. Thats like never having played EU3.
