  1. Thank you #DavidChen  for an admirably concise rundown of Season. I agree with most of your choices. This is the first piece of work of yours that I've found, but I'll certainly check out what you have to say about Season 5 and look at other stuff you do.
    Btw, I'm British and heavily steeped in tv in postmodernity. & I've read all the books as well.

  2. 1.Stannis Arrives At The Wall / Ygritte's Death "Remember that cave, Jon Snow?" :'O
    2.Oberyn's Death
    3.Joffrey's Death
    4.Tyrion's Trial Speech
    5.Tyrion Kills Tywin
    6.Oberyn Agrees To Be Tyrion's Champion
    7.Scythe!
    8.Arya's Revenge
    9.Oberyn's Introduction
    10.Margeary & Tommen feat. Ser Pounce

  3. where the hell is stannis of the house baratheon, first of his name, the one true king of the andals and the first men, lord of the seven kingdoms and the protecter of the realm? you took the weapon that killed a few wildlings but not the man that destroyed wildling army

  4. I still don't understand why Arya didn't kill the Hound. I get that she's angry about him killing the butcher boy, but the Hound saved her sister and was decently respectful to her during their journey. Maybe they explain it more in the books..

  5. Oberyn's downfall is definitely #1 for me. I'm not sure I've ever thought about a scene or character arc as much before. After growing up on stories like David & Goliath, it's such a potent statement that life is not fair.

  6. Missed bits that should be mentioned!
    1. White Walkers fortress/origin & fate of taken babies revealed!
    2. The EP1 cold open – melting of Ned's sword & forging of the two Lannister swords
    3. The dragons are getting BIG and unruly!
    4. Jaime gives Brienne the armor and valyrian sword
    5. Bran's first psychedelic dream (WTF mate?)
    6. Jon Snow (Crastor's wife/daughter) kills Karl & Ghost returns
    7. Hot Pie has perfected the direwolf shaped bread
    8. The Three Eyed Raven tells Bran he'll "fly"
    9. Lysa flies through the moon door and Sansa goes dark
    10. Bron teaches Jaime to fight left-handed

  7. Mine would be: 
    10.Moon Door
    9.Daario kills Meereen Champion
    8.Hodor kills Locke
    7.Braavos reveal shot
    6.Joffrey poisoned
    5.Overhead pan of the battle at The Wall
    4.Arya uses the coin
    3.Tyrion kills Tywin
    2.Oberyn's mind blown
    1.Tyrion's courtroom tirade (it's one of the best scenes in the history of television as far as I'm concerned)
    Honorable ment.:  Brienne offs the Hound, Varys's sly u-turn
