I was wrong, they are going to the caves. At the pace they were going I didn’t think they were going to make it to the caves.

Re: Them calling it a “Season Finale” rather than a “Series Finale” - they want to leave it open for a season 2, where El Cucuy’s mother (played by Meryl Streep) comes to town to find out what happened to her son, and everyone is needlessly keeping it a secret for some ill-defined reason.
Seale you dumb bastard, you’re going to get sweet Andy killed! That was a hell of an uncomfortable hour, I had my fingernails digging into my palms by the end.
This season was a hell of a lot of boring high-minded monologues delivered in front of arty backdrops and maybe ten minutes’ worth of actual plot. I’ll give season three a chance, but if it’s more of this I’m out.
I’ll give season three a chance if only because of it being, again, a new showrunner. This season was a mess and really squandered what it had to work with in terms of talent and design. I only hope new direction gets it back in shape - not necessarily the same as the first season but something solid.
Well at the risk of further stating the obvious... you made that comment under an article that was whining about how American Gods has not “earned” the right to “depict” a real lynching, plus it included all that self-important bullshit about how the writer wouldn’t SHOW you the lynching, gosh no, but they would…
Man it sounds like this show has really strayed from the point of the novel...
May be my favorite part of the entire series (even if it perfectly encapsulates how dating went for me in high school):
I really expected Roose to stab him in the hug, I even thought it happened when I heard the stab.
I think Roose’s line about “if you act like a rabid dog …” will end up being prophetic. At least I hope so. Ramsay is the worst.
When Bran is watching Ned train his brother, Ned says: “If you keep dropping your shield, I am going to ring your head like a bell.”
You knew it was going to be either Roose or Ramsay, in the end, with one killing the other, so that part was fine.
I think the ramifications of Ramsey killing Walda might end up being more interesting than Ramsey killing Roose. I’m under no illusions that Frey gives a damn about his daughters, but he sure as hell cares about what Walda’s marriage to Bolton represented—Ramsey just blew up House Bolton’s most important alliance*…
That’s so Ramsey would be the worst afternoon television for kids ever
Aside from visual mirroring of Ramsay and Roose to Roose and Robb, I think Carice van Houten did an incredible job of mimicking the world weary expressions of the deglamoured Melissandre, however inadvertent it may have been. That look she gave Davos was a spot on imitation.
Also, was Hodor being called Willis a…
I am convinced that when the witch cut off bits of Jon Snow’s hair that was a direct wink to all of the fans who tried to predict Jon Snow’s death or survival based on how long the actors hair was off-screen.
The "I hate my son" one isn't funny at all; it's heartbreaking. And the "I regret having them every single day" one, over the beautiful photo of those adorable little boys, is incredibly sad as well. In fact, I find most of these more sad than funny. I think these women must be in a lot of pain to put these posts up…
