SPOILERS BEWARE.
So this was a hard
episode. And we’ve had bloody epsiodes in the past. But I would say that often
times the death feels good. Thank god he’s dead (Joffrey) you know? This death
felt so…. Cowardly.
But let’s start at the
beginning of the episode because let’s be real SO MUCH SHIT HAPPENED. Warning:
things might not be completely in order.
We start with Stannis
and the repercussions of deciding to sacrifice his daughter to the Lord of
Light. Which was fucked up if we’re putting it simply. Like many of the
characters on this show, I don’t really like Stannis. I liked Renly the best
out of the Baratheon brothers, and Stannis takes fault for killing him so yeah.
Not a huge fan. I also don’t trust the
bitch in red. Melisandre. Ugh.
With that being said,
I was really hoping the Stannis would be able to take over Winterfell because
Ramsey… there are no words for the hate in my stomach for him. And I need Sansa
to be safe.
So we start the
episode off with some bad news: half of Stannis’ army has deserted and his wife
committed suicide. Honestly I didn’t
care that she was dead… but I knew it was bad news for the hope of Ramsey
losing to Stannis if he attempted to attack now. Which of course he did. I think he had given up on life.
Now of course Brienne
of Tarth has been waiting to save Sansa for so long and the moment that she
decides to leave in order to seek the revenge on Stannis is the moment Sansa
lights the candle in the highest tower. I was so disappointed with that moment,
but very happy that Brienne got to kill Stannis. That was a great moment.
I was so happy with
the rest of Sansa’s story in this episode though! Finally getting to not only
see Margaret get what she deserves but to have Theon do it – just throw her
over the side of the wall to the stone beneath. Oh my god I was like FUCK YEAH
BITCH. So great! And then we watch Theon
and Sansa jump off the wall of Winterfell together while holding hands. I am so
fucking excited to see that trust rebuild between them and Theon to help retake
Winterfell and do it right this time without his shitty dad’s thoughts in his
way.
Then there’s Arya’s
story. We finally get to watch her take
on a face from the many faced god. I
honestly could read a whole book on the beginnings of the many faced gods. We have watched this man in a whorehouse
asking for young girls and doing some fucked up whipping shit to them. Not a
good guy obviously. Oh and apparently he’s the guy that killed Arya’s sword
master in the past which I didn’t know!
So there’s this scene
where he has three girls standing in front of him and he whips them one by one
and they scream out but the third doesn’t react when he whips her and of course
it’s Arya. And Arya fucks him up! That
death is so gruesome and so deserving and I loved it so much.
But of course that
wasn’t what Arya was supposed to do so Jaqen and the girl who is “no one” come
up to her and it looks like they’re about to poison her because the balance has
to be restored but instead the guy takes the poison! What the fuck! Arya freaks
out and then suddenly the girl turns into the guy and says it’s just a face!
This part was really
confusing to me because I thought in order to become a face in the Hall of
Faces, you had to be dead, but the guy’s face is there, the girl’s face is
there, and in the end she lands on her own face on the dead body. So in order
to be attempting to become “no one” do you have to die? I’m so confused. And
then Arya goes blind, and I feel like that’s probably because she didn’t kill
the person she was supposed to and this is her punishment but I want to know
more about how this religion and magic works!
Then there’s Cersei. I
fucking love to hate Cersei. I think she’s so strong and powerful within
herself even though what she stands for are things I hate. So Cersei finally decides to tell the high
septon “all” her sins, but only confesses to her relations with her cousin. He says she will have to atone and stand
trial so we watch Cersei, clean and shaven head, walk naked through the
city. I watched this saying “keep your
head up Cersei. Keep your fucking head up. Don’t you dare show your weakness in
front of them.” And up until that fall I felt like she was right on the edge of
showing her shame.
See for me, I don’t
like this weird High Septon gets to dish out punishment. I know Cersei is the
idiot who opened up that possibility but my hatred for that tops my hatred for
Cersei. I didn’t want them to get the satisfaction of watching her break in
front of the city.
Then the fucking
Mountain shows up with a vow of silence and he looks blue under his helmet like
he’s going to look even worse now then he did before. Ugh.
We also watch Marcella
die after being poisoned by the kiss of the woman who already tried to kill her
once and I have to say I called it! The second that woman moved toward to kiss
her I was like DON’T DO IT SHE HAS POISON LIPS. She’s barely been able to look
at Marcella so why would she now want to kiss her farewell?
We need to talk about
Danaerys and the Dothrakis! I think that was her wedding ring from Drogo that
she let drop to the ground, and I’m really hoping that the Dothraki end up
helping her cause to become queen instead of doing something terrible to
her. It was such a cool scene watching
them all ride around her.
Okay it’s time to talk
about Jon and let me start off by saying that when you see the little sign that
says “Traitor” and then Jon turns around confused I announced “NO! I’m gonna cry!”
and proceeded to sob. Not just tears. Sobs. I couldn’t breathe. It was
awful. And then as it ended I just kept
saying well now there needs to be some great revenge. At this point I would be
totally happy to see the white walkers come into the Night’s Watch and kill
them. I know that’s awful to say but
they deserve to have fear in their eyes when they see the undead army come into
their stead. And all I’ll be thinking is “he told you. HE TOLD YOU SO and you
were too focused on past problems to realize there are scarier things in this world
than the fucking wildings!”
So needless to say
this episode was intense. And now I NEED to get my hands on A Dance with
Dragons because I wanted to read it before this season started and I didn’t get
to it so I really need to now to see if anything happens with a more positive
outcome or if anything is worse! Ugh.
Okay that’s all.
Comment down below with your feels on the GoT season finale. There’s a video coming soon to go along with
