Review/Summary: Reigning RobbWind

This is it. The season finale. We've watched, we've enjoyed, we've laughed, we've cried. I mean, really, really cried. After last week i'm not really sure how I feel about this one as the ending but still it is the fallout from the Red Wedding..

And so it begins.

With the Frey's celebrating bonfire night by using the Stark army as kindling.

Arya and Sandor make their escape.

But not before seeing a delightful parade of RobbWind.

RobbWind.

Grey Wind's head on Robb Stark's body. Not as attractive as you would think.

Sansa and Tyrion are bonding.

She looks like a giant next to him. Next to everyone really.

The Disgraced Daughter and the Demon Monkey

I see a spinoff happening. A potential sitcom maybe.

Sansa is a secret sheep shifter.

No wait. Thats Arya.

But still...

Sheep shifting: Cut a little hole in the mattress, fill it with sheep dug and then sew it up and make the bed again. The room will smell but you'll have no idea why. I foresee future GoT themed pranks everywhere.

Shift is the not the vulgar word for dung.

You know nothing Sansa Stark? Lannister? Little Dove?

Meanwhile... At the meeting of Small Council.

A smiling Joff? Oh my...

Pycelle dropped the scroll.

On purpose. Bad Maester.

Roslin caught a fine fat trout, her brothers gave her a pair of wolf pelts for her wedding?

Walder Frey is a master of letters. And description.

Joffrey is delighted.

Little shit.

Robb Stark is dead. And his bitch mother.

Now thats not nice is it?

Joffrey wants Robb's head.

To give it to Sansa as a present. How nice...

Sansa is now Joffrey's Aunt by marriage.

Say it with me: Sansa Lannister.

Cersei thinks he's joking.

He really isn't. A Mother's love really is blind isn't it?

Tyrion wants no more tormenting.

Joffrey thinks Tyrion is a little monster. Really?

Tyrion owns Joffrey.

Poetic threatening is the best.

Cersei tries to smooth things over.

Pycelle makes it worse. Lap dog.

Tywin owns Joffrey.

Joffrey puts his foot in it. Royally.

Tywin sends Joffrey to bed.

He's not tired. But he goes anyway.

Thats whats known as Tywinning.

Like a boss.

Tywin and Tyrion have a little Father and son chat.

No love lost there.

Apparently Tywin cheated.

Like a boss.

Tyrion wants to treat Sansa like a lady.

Tywin is having none of it.

The house that puts family first always wins.

Tywin makes all the decisions. For the family.

Tywin has another delightful tale of Tywin's childhood to share with him.

Just because he's a Lannister.

Sansa knows.

Oh the Stark feels...

Meanwhile, we're back with Bran and his travelling band...

Hodor! HHHHHOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRR!!!

Bran and the Reeds are telling lovely stories.

About cannibalism. And being cursed for killing a guest beneath your roof.

Meanwhile...At the Twins.

The Late Walder Frey.

Roose Bolton is watching servants clean up the blood.

Edmure is in a dungeon. Poor floppy fish.

Walder is Tully trashing.

And Stark trashing.

Ramsay...

I hope that's a real sausage.

Oh it is?

It doesn't look like one.

Ramsay is a real philosopher.

Theon is not looking good. At all.

Theon Greyjoy is getting a forced re-branding.

Reek. My name is Reek.

Sam found Bran.

Meera found her knife.

Sam loves Jon.

He ain't heavy. He's his brother.

Sam and Gilly know the north is chilly.

The reeds won't have it. And Bran doesn't understand.

Ramsay has invented a Theon parts game.

Asha isn't pleased with the rules.

Asha wants to save her brother.

The fifty best killers and the fastest ship should do it.

Meanwhile... Everyone gets Dragon glass.

Sam is a hero. Again.

Bye bye, Bran's travelling band.

Hodor.

And there are my favourite abs.

And Gendry. And his beard. And Davos.

Big words. No clothes.

Yep thats Melisandre alright.

Oh look its Shae the funny whore.

And Varys the funny spider.

Apparently nothing is Sansa's fault.

It kind of is but...Yeah alright.

Varys wants Shae to start a good life somewhere else.

And she's a complication. Or is that a contradiction?

Drinking with Podrick.

Tyrion's new spinoff.

A wine merchant is an unhappy wifes best friend.

Diamonds are so irrelevant these days...

Cersei just mentioned Joffrey and Myrcella.

No love for Tommen. At all. Then.

Bonding with Tyrion and Cersei.

Yet another spinoff.

Arya's revenge.

That coin came in handy after all.

Ygritte has come hunting Jon Snow.

I hope he has no Ygrittes.

You know nothing Jon Snow.

Apparently he knows some things...This won't end well.

So Ygritte is a good shot after all.

Talk about being shafted by the one you love.

Sam and Gilly are explaining themselves.

And the baby's name is Sam. Aww...

Gilly's face at the mention of Craster's wives.

She can ever go back beyond the wall.

The Ravens are flying tonight.

Sam's writing hand is going to hurt.

Meanwhile... Davos is attending Shireen's reading Class.

Shireen is a marvellous teacher.

The Painted Table is covered with scrolls and not Melisandre.

I guess the penis leeches put Stannis off this week.

Davos is once again the voice of reason.

No one listens.

And Davos has just released the abs. I mean Gendry.

Melisandre is going to be pissed.

Not only was Gendry virgin ground. He can't sail either?

You know nothing Gendry Waters.

Meanwhile, Jon Snow has returned.

And oh look there's Pyp.

Jaime has returned to Kings Landing. With the lovely Brienne and the creepy Qyburn.

A wonderful triple threat.

In her chambers. Cersei is looking in her box.

No. Not that box.

Jaime? JAIME?

JAIMERSEI.

Back at Dragonstone. The sun looks lovely reflecting off that table.

Also Davos is one upping Melisandre.

Melisandre may be manipulating Stannis. But...

There's no love lost between her and Davos.

Meanwhile... In Yunkai.

Daenerys: Liberation Yunkai is a thing.

There was a suitably epic speech.

And then...

Mhysa, Mhysa, Mhysa.

Mother, Mother, Mother.

Daenerys also crowd surfed.

Like a boss.

There was a circle of hands.

And much rejoicing.

The dragons flew.

And no one died.

Review:

Wow. Everyone else appears to be miserable but Dany and the people of Yunkai.

Cersei got Jaime back and wasn't thrilled by his appearance.

Ygritte found Jon Snow and shot him. Repeatedly.

Everyone hated on Joffrey.

The violence at The Twins was suitably brutal.

And to my surprise: RobbWind made it in.

Arya's revenge made it in.

Sansa's happiness got destroyed. Again.

Theon is just...destroyed.

Ramsay knows his torture and torment.

Yara finally became book Asha.

Gilly named the baby.

Walder Frey. Just him and Roose Bolton.

And then Cersei just regretted everything. Ever.

Any episode that follows one like last weeks is bound to be a little disappointing. I mean I buy the idea of Dany liberating the slaves but as some kind of Messiah? Absolutely not. Daenerys has blood on her hands like every other King and Queen in Westeros and no problem about using her children as weapons.

I'd have thought an episode about Mother's would have included more of Cersei and shown us the fate of Catelyn Stark's body. But then again, as Book Purists would agree, some events are too soon to contemplate and I'm not one for spoilers here. I'm still wondering how Sansa found out about the Red Wedding and why there were no Tyrells to speak of.

The return of Jaime Lannister was a surprise but not in the terms of the show if their planning to do a book a season then it makes perfect sense. But, all in all, it was a little slow but an enjoyable finale with a surprisingly happy ending this year.

On that note: I'm still going to be here. I still have more episodes to review, more stories to write and so much more to give you. Keep reading, keep watching and thank you.
