Game of Thrones Season finale discussion. S3 Spoilers ahead!

Please use spoiler tags for book spoilers.

About 15 minutes for the season finale to begin on HBO...who's waiting for it in front of the TV?

Any predictions about what will happen in tonight's episode?

I think that something big involving Tyrion will happen, because today's "sticker" is Tyrion's

Those who've read the books may know what im talking about, and I think it would be a proper thing for the finale to show.

Discuss!

[spoiler] Seriously thought Joffrey was going to get assassinated to end the season. Gotta wait another year. [/spoiler]

thought it was a good episode

A bit lackluster, but Tywin putting Joffrey in his place was great. Oh, and the Davos bits too.

How did Ygritte catch up with Jon so quickly? And why was the rest of the Wildling band not with her?

almost each episode costs 6 million to make, HBO must have knew they had a hit series on their hands, wow

good episode but for a finale it felt more kind of dull

it wasnt like oh wow but hopefully the season 4 premier is better

[QUOTE="harry_james_pot"]It was a fantastic episode, I really loved it. And to anyone who found it boring, lacking, or anything like that.. We're only half way through the book! Surely you can't expect any story lines to be tied up. Im glad they included Robb with Greywinds head. It's such an iconic image in the books, and I would've been really disappointed if they had cut it out. I also loved how Walders letter to Tywin being a word-for-word from the books. :D I'm not sure what they're doing with Asha, though... [spoiler] We know she's supposed to be at Deepwood Motte when Stannis gets there.. So I'm wondering what they'll have her do until then. [/spoiler] wolverine4262

True, but at the same time, ending the season on a reveal is always good. Season 1 had dragons, 2 had white walkers and this season could have had [spoiler] Coldhands or Stoneheart [/spoiler]

I guess S3 isn't really the end of its own arc, since they split it. So technically it's like the middle episode of a season.

[spoiler] without future spoilers, why exactly is Bolton's son torturing Theon? Is it so they can use it as leverage to get the Ironborn out of the North? [/spoiler]

Good episode overall, looking forward to next season. Loved Arya killing that guy and Tyrion/Tywin belittle Joffery.

For no reason, he's just a crazy ass sadist.

It's even mentioned in like the first book that [spoiler] He and his servant would go out to a random town, look for peasant girls, kidnapp them and hunt them, if the girls offered good hunt he would give them a quick death, if not he would skin them alive, just because. [/spoiler]

They will probably alter that storyline a bit.

Remember even her name is different and the character is pretty different too. They have already deviated a lot from some storylines, for example Gendry in the books

[spoiler]  Is a minor character and he is never "kidnapped" by melissandre, he's described as a small boy and he stays with the brotherhood, they never sell him off [/spoiler]

OK episode. Didn't feel like a big finale but that is okay. I thought we'd see more about the fallout after the Red Wedding. I wanted to see Jamie and Cersei talk but I guess that is next season. next stop: Breaking Bad in August!!!!!!!!!

I thought it was a good finale.  There was really no way it could have topped last weeks episode but I was satisfied as far as the setup goes for next season.

I loved the bit with Joffrey basically jumping around with glee and Tyrion asking if he killed any puppies today. :lol:

Got HBO free for a weekend and watched S3 in two evenings. Thought the ending would be Mance Rayder lighting that fire. The wait for the next season is going to be brutal, I want vengeance now. Despite the body count growing, there's still plenty of characters (duos in this case) I enjoy: Tyrion & Bronn, Jaimie & Brienne, Barristan & Jorah, Snow & Sam, Arya & The Hound, and Davos & Gendry.

Couple questions:
I thought the reason behind everyone wanting to marry Sansa was to become King of the North in the event that Robb died. Does this mean Tyrion is King of the North?
Where are Arya & The Hound headed? Doesn't seem like either have a place to call home
The Wildling Warg that tranformed into an eagle is alive as an eagle or dead?
Benjen Stark has been missing forever, will he ever show up?

From what I' ve understund Sansa' s son will be the king of the north. Tywin keeps reminding Tyrion that he should give Sansa a child as soon as possible.Either way isn' t Bran the rightful air to the Winterfell throne? I mean he' s the oldest male Stark child.
Where are Arya & The Hound headed? Doesn't seem like either have a place to call home

Yeah they haven' t stated anything. They were just getting the hell away from the Twin Towers.
The Wildling Warg that tranformed into an eagle is alive as an eagle or dead?

I think the eagle was just very loyal to the wildling and attacked Jon for hurting his "master".
Benjen Stark has been missing forever, will he ever show up?

I' m near the end of book 1 myself so I don' t know what happens next with him. Whoever answers this please use spoiler tags. :P
