Yeah, I'm REALLY bummed that they didn't do the reveal in the Game of Thrones finale. I was really psyched for it. And also,
Bloodraven? Could they NOT have saved a bit of CGI budget and made some major improvements to that?? Because he was not at all like I imagined him to be. Also, majorly bummed about
Jojen because
his character and what happened to him always intrigued me in the books, but I guess it makes sense.
I rewatched it with my friend earlier this afternoon, so a lot of it is fresh in my mind. And okay, I KNOW a lot of people are absolutely enraged about
Jaime and Tyrion's farewell and how they ended on a happy note, but to be honest, I thought it was sweet. I honestly don't think they'll ever see each other again in the books, so I enjoyed that bit of happiness between the two brothers. Jaime was the only one who cares about Tyrion and I didn't mind the feel goodness of the scene. So sue me. I know that
Tyrion's basically become a different character in the show compared to how he was in the books, but I'm one of the few who don't actually enjoy his chapters. Maybe that's why I'm indifferent?
Oh, and my friend actually said that she was
becoming interested in what's going on in the North/on the Wall now, with the arrival of Stannis. That was cool for me because just a week before during episode 9, she was telling me about how little she cared about that particular region and plot line.
So, is Season 5 basically going into AFFC + ADWD territory simultaneously, right? I know a lot of it was already touched on this season, too. Wonder when the 6th book is coming out
I have the books as epub files on my tablet, too, which makes things a lot easier!
