Except Arya's life in Braavos is actually deadly dull during her training. Well, it's not, but it won't be good TV I don't think. I think this finale was the weakest by far, and the excisement of many of the crucial scenes and their nuances intolerable. I cannot stand that they have made Tyrion 'good', because he's not and never has been. The closest thing this show has ever had to good post-Ned, was Jon Snow. I fear that what we saw tonight is the beginning of the end for GoT, I recognize the problem and have seen it before with these show runners (and others).

I thought Varys was off in search of wee Aegon who was spirited away? I don't remember him getting on the boat, but I recall him being very much involved in attempting to bring back Aegon. I'm assuming because he's all out of options unless he wants Melisande for a queen, but I don't think he's into that as being good for the realm...

Yanno, no one in the show has ever used the word castration or eunuch. Just a referral to 'being cut'. If I was a slave holding bastard, and didn't care how many of the boy slaves died in childhood (and I think someone commented that most of the potential Unsullied didn't make it), I'd keep the useful to warriors bit and remove the useless to masters one. Just sayin'.

Arya is the very queen of making up nonsense on the spot to justify doing what she wants to do anyway. She's done it since episode one where she spouts off some nonsense to cover what she's really up to. It's canonical behavior.

Raw honey has been used for time immemorial due to natural antiseptic and antibacterial properties. Didn't get this choice on GRRM's part, it's not even that esoteric as far as knowledge goes.

I'm going to miss Oberyn, I mean Pedro Pascal. Frankly, I'm sorry, but if anyone deserves an Emmy, it's him. Dinklage is good and all, but he's got SO much more to work with than Pascal does, and Pascal is easily neck and neck with him, from the 1st second he was on screen. Stunning. Really going to miss The Adventures of Arya and The Hound. Side note: I'm kind of ... happy that Nikolaj hasn't had his teeth Americanized, but he's probably going to have to post-Thrones. I hope he doesn't do it now, because honestly, a badass warrior -should- have jacked up teeth.

I keep feeling like they're trying to turn Felicity into a combo version of Moneypenny and Q which isn't at all satisfying. Also, Sara's chin makes me insane. I'm sorry actor lady.

Rayna's was off the charts bad at some points. Chunks of ... laying there...dead...beaver...hair. It was awful. I recall thinking I would fire whoever the hell was responsible, and then realizing that janitors don't have many options and that may not be fair.

Yay! I'm so incredibly relieved they did not save Majesty! I honestly hope they choose not to use it this year at all.
