I really agree and really disagree with some of this. First off I never read the books. As for the show I tried it a year or so back; couldn't get through two episodes. I got into the show again about three months ago after simultaneous urging from my son and then my roommate; I started over from scratch. This time it stuck and I did three seasons in about two weeks.
I've been binge watching it for a few weeks as well. It had been on my list for a long time and when I finally watched it I fell in love.
I didn't see a weak episode until this season. Overall I was really unhappy with this season; way too weak and drawn out, with exceptions here and there. It was still good, but not like the first three.
I
really enjoyed season 4. I think I would even go as far as to say that it was my favorite season overall. There were some priceless moments in season 4 as well as some really fun character development. We finally got to see that sniveling little bastard Joffrey die (and it looked painful). An oh so satisfying end to a character that I hated with a passion! Also, Littlefinger is getting some great scenes. I wanted to see Liza Arryn die ever since the moment I saw her nasty bird face. That shit that he pulled right before he threw her through the moon door was just epic. "Now now, I've only ever loved one woman...
your sister". BOOM, BITCH!That's some cold blooded shit. We also found out that Littlefinger is not only responsible for the death of Jon Arryn and his tomfoolery has pretty much been the driving force for all the shit has gone down in
the entire f***ing series. All because that nigga wanted some of Catelyn Stark and never got a piece. Damn. That's some heavy shit. I'm not even going to mention the Lannisters practically imploding
or the truly f***ed up House of Bolton.
I loved last week's Watchers on The Wall episode. For me that made the season. I just got home from watching the finale. I really liked it overall; though admittedly can't speak to deviations from the book.
I liked last week's episode a lot. I think it was a great build up to the finale. I'm about 400 pages into the book and it's been accurate thus far. I wonder if the deviations will piss me off more once I've read them.
I loved The Hound and was sad to see him go. The fight with the dyke was great.
I literally screamed when he started to lose his footing on that cliff. Watching my two favorite characters fight was horrid and amazing all at once. The only reason she won that fight was because he fell off that cliff. The hole thing was silly anyway because The Hound was supposed to die from the festering wound on his neck. Also, Brienne of Tarth is not a dyke. She was in love with Renly and she is in love with Jaime Lannister. If being a tall, somewhat tom-boyish bad ass bitch makes you a dyke automatically, my significant other is in for a sad surprise. Unless I let him watch... but, I digress.
I actually really like Arya. I think she's a great character and I have far more interest in her story than in Bran's
Arya is a f***ing legend. I love her. Bran is pretty cool, too, though. I mean, he's a warg.
when Bran possed Hodor and made him kill the guy from The Year My Voice Broke, I got a boner.
Me too, man. Such a boner.
Varys is kind of cool but annoys me.
No one likes spiders. That thing with the warlock was ridiculous. What the f*** did he do with that guy? Any ideas? I need to know.
Ygritte was gorgeous but I don't think they were consistent in writing her character.
Ygritte was hot but vulgar. I bet it hurts when Jon Snow pees, now. Plus, she killed Pyp. f*** her and her magnificent ginger bush and perky tits. Then, swiftly seek strong antibiotics.
Jon Snow is too one dimensional for me. I like him but I want them to go deeper with his character.
Yeah. It's like, we get it, you know. You're a man of the knights watch... stop being such a bitch about it, Mr. Bitchface. Smile sometime.
I loved Tywin. I was sad to see him go but I was glad Tyrion got justice; Tyrion is one of my favorites.
Tywin died on the only throne he deserved. He was a great character but
such an asshole. My giney tingled with excitement for Tyrions moment of justice. Apparently though (according to the books) he killed Tywin because Jaime confessed to him that his first wife (the one Tywin had raped by just about everyone and then killed for being a whore) wasn't even a whore at all. She was just a nice girl that fell in love with Tyrion and was murdered for no apparent reason.
I hated Shae like ball cancer from the start. Thank god that grasshopper faced cooze is gone.
Did you know that she was a porn "actress" before GoT. Look it up, I saw her butthole today. Crazy stuff, man.
I f***ing hate Margaery and I hate her grandmother even worse.
Why exactly do you hate them?
I like Jaime and I for some reason like Cercei.
Jaime is cool, but Cercei is a c***.
I loved Oberyn once they stopped making him so fruity. He went out great.
Poor Oberyn. I loved him.
The dragon chick is boring as f***. I like the blonde guy she exiled; can't remember his name. I really like him though.
Sir Jorah Marmont. I feel terrible for him. Danaerys is fun to watch.
Stannis is pure class. One of my favorite characters.
Stannis gets no respect in the series whatsoever. They basically wrote him like he's nothing but the red lady's bitch. Such is not the case. Stannis is the man.
