I loved that episode!!! Since we have to wait so long for a new season, I love how it gave us some closure but left us still wanting more. One big ending or reveal would have left me looking up spoilers til next season!!!
Sam was basically the star of this episode
. I just love when the side stories collide, it's almost surreal. I really felt like I got some closure with Jon snow and Ygritte, because when he left her I just kept thinking- does he not love her? Maybe he was just faking it to have someone on his side, they would have killed him without her standing up for him constantly. But now I feel like he does love her, he just is trying to be realistic that he doesn't want the wilding life and with his vows, he couldn't bring her home. It would be awesome if she found out that she's pregnant though, and they got tied back together.
Hearing Cersei talk about Joffery was so sad.
especially when she was saying he was a happy baby, I have a very happy baby so I was like- eurgh.....I love how Tyrian is constantly standing up to Joffrey but Joffrey is totally losing his cool with it....I'm ready for his death.
Tyrian and Sansa are so cute together, I just want her to accept him. I agreed with Cersei that a baby would make her life better, she's so alone. I'm sick of Shae, if she loved Tyrian she would leave. Varys was 100% right about Tyrian's abilities and Shae holding him back, and she's the last thing he needs right now.
I'm loving Davos right now and Gedry. I'm so sick of Stannis's puppet-behavior. Melisandre's in control.
Arya is going to turn into a badass ninja next season
.
Theon's scenes make me physically sick, I almost can't get through them or even watch. Just so demeaning and frightening and sickening. Balon is a freaking asshole. Theon's sister is doing what his dad needs to be doing. Balon acted like his only choices were listen to Ramsay's demands or ignore, but the man of the family, Theon's sister, is doing what needs to be done.
Dany's scene had a touching ending, very fitting. I want her to return as queen even though some of my favorites- Tyrian/Sansa- will possibly be hurt.
