I love it. I had some problems with some of the flashback stuff during the Trial of Seven but other than that they fucking nailed this.

As was ripping off Fast and Furious. :D

Great season; can't wait for more - I really need George to get writing before season 4.

The scene with Egg and the knife in the bedroom was excellent. No dialogue, but it said so much!

All in all, excellent season. I'm very impressed overall with this as an adaptation. But the final episode might be the weakest of the lot. Didn't like how obvious they made it that Dunk was never Knighted. Didn't like how a Maester declared Dunk to be dying with mortified wounds yet he ended up being...fine? I'm sure there are other little things but this is what I'm thinking about after watching it last night.

True, but still, maybe get a second opinion beyond the lord of storm's end?

I liked Squibbly's cameo; I hope next season delves deeper into the Knights of the Feral Hen

How are they going to depict Gormdorf's beheading? And will we see Flam-Sam of the Mighty Bailywick? or do you think they'll skip that to get to the Bathing Banhadriel saga of book XII?

It’s pretty rude to just come in here and make up character names.

So when Lyonel says “The Others geld me” in the finale, it’s the first time “the Others” has been spoken in a GOT series (per ASX).
