[QUOTE=BarnacleDrive;45121107]So I was also pretty upset/surprised by the Tyrion/Jaime conversation being entirely absent in this finale.[/QUOTE]
I've read the books and reread the section you posted and I still don't understand the problem people have. SHOW[sp]He has every reason to do what he did. His dad has screwed him over in so many ways, including denying him Casterly Rock. His dad is in the midst of having him executed! His dad tried to send him off to the frozen north. If anything, the tv show viewer probably wonders why one of Tywin's kids hasn't done this sooner. As far as Jaime and Tyrion's conversation, what we saw on the show works. It accomplished what was needed at this time. Both characters are set, that was a bit of character development that wasn't needed now on the show.[/sp]
My guess is it's more that this was a part of the books that readers liked, and therefore want to see it done on the show. My point is not everything can be put in the show, even some good stuff can be cut if need be.
[QUOTE=Badballer;45128417]don't forget strong belwas, the best character of them all.[/QUOTE]
Strong Belwas & Coldhands, truly suffered the worst fate of all...
[sp]Killed by HBO. RIP[/sp]
Really wish that Coldhands could've made the cut, oh well
[QUOTE=Batmoutarde;45128389]its all about the atmosphere and setting up the scene
and also describing LOTS of food and lemon cakes.

SHOW [sp]so now that the hound and oberyn are dead, the mountain is incapacitated and Jamie is missing his good hand, does this mean Briene is the greatest fighter in all of westeros?[/sp]
Season 4 Finale Spoiler [sp]Did anyone else notice the bad editing during the Skeleton fight? Jojen falls over onto his back from nothing after shouting at Bran.Gif of it here.http://gfycat.com/SplendidInconsequentialAbyssiniangroundhornbill[/sp]
[QUOTE=GURREN LAGANN;45128588]can't wait for next weeks episode![/QUOTE]
Wait what? I thought that was the finale?!
[QUOTE=cathal6606;45129595]SHOW [sp]so now that the hound and oberyn are dead, the mountain is incapacitated and Jamie is missing his good hand, does this mean Briene is the greatest fighter in all of westeros?[/sp][/QUOTE]
[sp]Maybe the non-maister's treatment will turn Mountain into a hulk?[/sp]

S4 FINALE[sp] it was all pretty bad, leave it to the fucking Bran storyline to involve spooky skeletons vs little wizards at the goddamn magical tree of youth or whatever
Everything is great except for the Bran storyline, I'm legit sick of Bran[/sp]
I still want to know what happened to Ghost too
[QUOTE=cathal6606;45129595]SHOW [sp]so now that the hound and oberyn are dead, the mountain is incapacitated and Jamie is missing his good hand, does this mean Briene is the greatest fighter in all of westeros?[/sp][/QUOTE]
Brienne is high-mid tier, she's a good fighter but she couldn't beat Barristan, Jaime in his prime or a fully rested/healthy Hound. Or even Bronn, I think.
Garlan Tyrell is probably better than her, too. But he's not in the show.
[QUOTE=Erasus;45127143]Be realistic. My friends have told me it is okay to continue, I don't really want to read the other books as I don't have the time to, I'd rather get them all read before next season, so if you can actually help that'd be great too.
Put it this way - I don't want to read the other books. If I HAD to start on this book where would you recommend I started?[/QUOTE]
I wanted to read the books while I wait for the next season to start. A Game of Thrones arrived yesterday and I'm already at page 140. Mind you I barely read books and this is the first one in like 4 years. The book is amazing and uncovered so much more already than the first tv season did for me. Seriously, just start reading at the beginning it's totally worth it.
I started reading the first book and finished it, couldn't be arsed to read the next books. To be fairly honest it didn't really draw me in that much.

I noticed it too. I couldn't even make out [sp]who is going to stab who at first. [/sp]
[QUOTE=Batmoutarde;45128471]Saw someone predict that by the end of season 5 BOOKS [sp]Balon will be alive and Catelyn still dead[/sp]
[/QUOTE]
Fuck, imagine book readers if that was true. You'd be able to power a town with the rage from that.
See y'all next year!
SHOW FINALE [sp]With Tywin Lanister dead, their debt to the Iron Bank unpaid, no proper king installed and Jamie being in the kings Guard, the crown is very crippled. The next season is going to be really interesting. I'm guessing Stannis has pretty fair chances for the crown now, although I'm not sure wether he'd be a capable king. More capable than Joffrey and Tommen, sure, but without assets like Varys, Tyrion and the like it might be challenging.
The other option is the Tyrells pulling strings, although I can see Cersei wanting to put a stop to this. The only other candidate appears to be Littlefinger, although his motives aren't exactly clear. I'm not sure whether he'd want to be king at all. [/sp]
Also, [sp]I'm quite impressed by the whole Arya/Hound arc. It has kept a nice balance as in, the hound wanted to keep Arya mainly out of personal gain up until the end, although you could sense a little, just a very tiny little bit of care he had for Arya at this point. I felt like Arya on the other hand didn't have any care for him at all, or maybe had, but to little to by worth anything in the end. I just think it's very well portrayed, it hasn't gotten overly dramatic and cheesy with stockholm syndrome stuff or cliches like that, but managed to slip a little bit of emotion into the otherwise materialistic, harsh and realistic situation. [/sp]
So, to recap-
[sp]Cersi threatens to reveal the fact that she and Jamie are having secret butt stuff
The power balance in king's landing has gone to shit now that Tywin is shot while taking a shit
Jamie rescues Tyrion, who proceeds to choke his lover-now-total-slut and kill his dad
Varys sneaks Tyrion out via boat, realizes that kings landing ain't nothin but bitches and hoes, and by leaving single handedly cripples king's landings' intelligence, in more ways than one
Stannis the Mannis and the Onion Pimp reach the wall out of nowhere and beat the shit out of the wildlings
Bran ditches vision dude, gets rescued by a fairy and meets up with the 3 eyed raven which is actually an old man in a tree
Brienne catches Arya, talks to Arya, fights and kills the hound, and manages to lose Arya after being 5 feet away from her
Arya helps this by deciding to go to a completely different fucking continent[/sp]
welp. Thats... yeah.

The gif I linked is about 10 seconds after that happens. [sp]Jojen gets back up after being pushed down, shouts at Bran and is then laying on his back.[/sp]

SHOW [sp]I thought Arya was going to the wall? That's why she gave that coin or whatever it was.
[/sp]
[QUOTE=joost1120;45131167]SHOW [sp]I thought Arya was going to the wall? That's why she gave that coin or whatever it was.
[/sp][/QUOTE]
SHOW [sp]They even said Bravos about 3 times in their conversation with the Bravosi captain who looked at her Bravosi coin that she got from the Bravosi assassin (Jaqen H'ghar) that helped her (and company) escape from Harrenhal.[/sp]
Also, the fitness phrases that everyone was making up a few pages ago were absolutely classic. Especially about bench pressing every fucking chicken in the room. :v:

Show.
[sp]She literally gives him the coin after he says they're sailing to Braavos.[/sp]

[QUOTE=Fort83;45120151]Show:[sp] He's less like "fuck this shit I'm out" and "fuck this, I'm outta here" and more like "shit, now I have to leave." Tyrion killing Shae and Tywin wasn't part of the plan and he knows if he stayed he'd probably be killed. [/sp]
Show/Book Also [sp]I don't recall Jojen Reed dying the books, plus it was kind of weird that in the episode when he was calling out to Bran he was standing up/kneeling and looking okay and then a second later he was on his back looking weak and about to get skewered[/sp][/QUOTE]
Book/Show [sp] Nah Varys intended for Tyrion to kill Tywin, at least in the books, I feel like it's probably the same in the show just not as obvious to avoid spoiling what happens to some characters in future seasons. [/sp]

Book 5 Varys wants [sp]westeros to be a proper mess so that the danny + any other dragons can more easily claim the iron throne [/sp]
