Re: Game of Thrones Season Finale
Show spoilers inc.
I'm so upset. I can't put it into the words. Just kidding, yes I can. This is the episode that they submitted to compete with Breaking Bad's Ozymandias? Sure, it started off pretty well. Everything at the wall was on point. Dany's part was also emotionally compelling for once. Jojen died, which wasn't supposed to happen, but whatever. Bloodraven was pretty cool.
And boy did it go downhill from there. Making changes from the book is fine. I understand that not everything can be included, and sometimes parts need to be added to make things more entertaining. Hell, Karl Tanner was one of my favorite characters, and he wasn't in the books. However, major character driving points can't be left out! Tyrion's entire motivation to murder Tywin was left out. In the book, it was rage that made him murder Tywin. In the show, he just seems insane. And you gotta love how they also left out one of Jaime's big motivators for s5 as well. The decisions that these characters will make in the future will make no sense to show watchers. Their goodbye just felt very awkward in general.
The hype was a lie.
Edit: And **** the Hound losing to Brienne. That shit's stupid as ****. Sure, he was injured, but the Hound was never supposed to lose a fight! And Brienne is not that good of a fighter, I don't give a **** what her irrational fans say.
