The mighty Tywin, killed by his dwarf son on the toilet. Who will run the House of Lannister now? What an amazing scene for Tyrion. When Shae woke up on Tywin's bed, the facial expressions between her and Tyrion just made me so uneasy. Did she ever really love Tyrion? And now that he's killed his lover and his father, he's probably going to have to rise from his mistakes next year, and I cannot wait to see what that brings. Along with Varys! A true friend through and through, all though I know he only left the Capitol to save his own butt.
Dany had her most emotional episode in a long time. Watching her dragons cry for her as she breaks while closing the catacomb doors really hit me. Those dragons were her children, but she cannot control them. That sets up a very interesting plot for the next season, and I can only hope the black dragon Drogon will become a villain for the Daenerys, like a non-sentient Smaug.
It was so great to see The Hound try to protect Arya from Brienne, even though the audience knows she only means well. He knows that there is no one left for her here, and this stranger woman from the Lannisters just wants to take her back? I completely understand where he's coming from. And man that was the best duel in the series. Brienne won from sheer luck, and the Hound begging Arya to kill him was incredibly saddening. It was great to see such a brutal man like Sandor asking a 13 year old girl to end his life for him. I was always hoping The Hound would kill the Mountain, but it seems that he died falling from one instead.
Stannis the Mannis, wow. I was already spoiled about this from a friend, although the finale from season 3 practically told us he would be sailing North I honestly thought he changed his mind. The charge beyond the Wall was so damn triumphant, I hadn't been cheering for this guy since Blackwater in season 2. His chemistry with Jon seemed great, and I can't wait to see where this combined story goes, especially with Jon's stare with Melisandre, the Red Woman. 'There is power in a king's blood.' Mance Rayder was also a great character, who I've been waiting to see since the beginning of Season 3. I really hope the Wildlings can get passage through the Wall without having to brutally raid innocent villages.
And my favorite part was the arrival of Bran to the Three Eyed Raven. The transition from the gritty realism of Season 1 to the supernatural feel of season 5 and beyond was greatly presented in this magical battle with the decrepit Wights and the Child of the Forest. The old wizard guy, whose name I believe is Bloodraven, seems incredibly interesting and I'm guessing he will teach Bran how to warg a f*cking DRAGON.
And zombie Mountain? If they are willing to do this character, then I am sure that book readers can be reassured that Lady Stoneheart will also make an appearance in the next season. But I have to say, this season truly had the best moments of television I've ever been invested in. Bring on season 5! 10/10!!
